Vitus Sentier 27? https://www.mbr.co.uk/reviews/hardtail/vitus-sentier-vrs-2015-review

Orange Crush and Marin San Quentin 3 are another couple. I’ve recently bought the Marin for my nephew

Have a look at NS bikes Eccentric Evo or Octane One Prone. Great frames for money but you'd have to self-build
-
Sonder Transmitter for ultimate bang for your buck progressive geo hardtail.
But the Scout is a great bike.
Edited. thx BN.

I’m looking to get back into mtb. Did a lot of downhill racing in my youth, but have spent the last ten years shaving my legs. After an aggressive 27.5 hardtail as rides will be short and fun (sadly no time for long all day explorations).
Slightly out of the loop on mtb these days, and don’t want to break the bank (much as I’d love a Stanton or Santa Cruz). Any views on the Nukeproof Scout 275? Seems to have great reviews and pretty good value. I think that or a Cotic bfe seem to be my front runners. Neither are particularly easy on the eye, but the geometry looks a lot of fun compared with the bikes I used to ride!
