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

Carbon is superior in nearly every way, except for cost.

@umop3pisdn that's what lockout is for.

But cost is a major factor, especially when you start considering the impact of a decent suspension set up and quality brakes potentially making a bigger difference at the lower end of the scale.

Carbon has the stiffness and weight advantage, but if you aren’t racing, is that so important?
