Thanks for everyone's input! At the end I went for the Giant Trance 27.5 2 version. Best value for money and I felt really comfortable on the bike. I will receive it next week and will post some pics.
Thanks, that was very informative, I am still working on my skills, I can land a jump/drop off and do a technical piece without stopping in corners/berms. Still come off the bike now and then. Still a lot of work to get that flowy feeling going. So probably looking for something that is a bit forgiving so that I can build up confidence.
Now thats Light hearted banter... Not being rude and calling people wankers off topic. And no Andrew Maclean is Not my father, Darth Vader on the other hand....
I was looking at the Ghost Lector 7700. Beautiful machine. But no idea how it feels. Had a parking lot "test drive" with the Trance and I liked the upright position. Will see of I can get onto a Remedy and Ghost this weekend!
Troll somewhere else please. This has nothing to do with the thread. If you don 't have any value to give rather don't post....gee wiz. Go Hate on Cycle Lab in your own thread...
Thanks for the replys so far. I am currently riding a medium hardtail frame which is a 29er. Had a spin on my wife's Merida Big Seven 300 27.5 and it was a lot more "flicky" in the corners and easier to manage.
Hi Everyone! I am new to TheHub and Have been MTBing for a few months I want to upgrade my hardtail to a FS. Looking at a Trance 27.5 2 version, Trek Remedy 9 or Cannondale Jekyll. Specialised Camber also an option but not too keen on 29er. So many bikes to choose from these days! I will be using it mostly for trail riding and the odd race here and there. I am 1.78M tall. Can anyone comment on the above choices or have a different brand I should look into? Much appreciated.
