I bought myself a brand new cotic solaris max last September and it's a wicked bike, more than I'll ever need, however coming from mainly xc i find it very slack and hard work for more local xc type stuff. So much so that I am searching for an xc frame on and off. That said as soon as the travel restrictions are lifted I'm moving either back to Ireland or up north, where a slack 140mm hardtail will be more use. I think the predecessor to my frame is not as slack though.
I went with basic slx groupset, but upgraded wheels and headset to hope, and upgraded the fork to McQueen rough cut hlr.
