As for buying in the US i would avoid a brand that you can't get spares for here in SA, bikes need maintenance and you don't want to get stuck needing a pivot part that you have to import.

@marcv - thanks! That’s a great point Re: spare parts.

I wouldn't buy a KTM here. Aluminum with better components. You won't notice the difference between carbon and aluminum except for the price. I wouldn't do carbon wheels either. Aluminum with good components should see you good. 120 is very adequate for Sani and going forward. Personally I would try for a Santa Cruz but they may be a little pricey. That would be my first choice.
