Canyon Exceed
Looks like a pretty sorted XC bike. Only things I might change are the tyres and then add ( the horror ) a dropper seatpost, so you can properly style those 6" kerb jumps
Doesn't @skinny ride an Exceed now? He must know if it's any good*
*despite being a massive mtb noob
BareNecessities-
I'm no noob now!
I get given them, so I am biased. But yeah it's a good bike. Really tough and fast.
Do not get a bike with sram though. Get shimano 1x12. Any level.
Obviously a out of box bike will need new tyres and mayve get the spoke tension checked by a good wheel builder, we cost a few quid and be worth it

@BareNecessities what MTB should I buy? Up to £1.5k. I was thinking the Canyon Exceed. This is for the Kent woods, tiny jumps, SDW, NDW and the ultrcycling race Ring of Russia where I will be riding the Russian border starting at St Petersberg and then in a counter clockwise loop finished after an overlap in Crimea over the course of 5 days
