I'd avoid a mtb with sram, I feel shimano is a lot better. But that is my opinion and not fact.
That SC is quite slack, with 67ht. I also would not want an aluminium mtb.
I would also think about a full sus XC bike. So 120mm front, 100mm rear. A HT is good, but I think full sus more versatile. I do with I had rear travel sometimes.
Perhaps something 2nd hand.

Out of curiosity, why would you rule out an Aluminium mtb? I assume you are all in on carbon?

I was tempted for a moment by the Canyon lux, which is 10% off at the moment but apparently the geo's a little old school?
There's a carbon SC chameleon for sale close to me and if it ends at an okay price I might go for it! If not I'll look for something with more up to date geometry.

Thanks for all the advice!!
I’d want to do a mix of riding out and getting the train somewhere more fun, which sounds like it’s achievable.
Any opinions on the Santa Cruz Chameleon? Alternative 120mm light-ish hardtails?
