Jeffsy?
Never ridden one but the cool kids like them.
My brother has a carbon Canyon Spectral which has been a fine trail bike.
My Mondraker Foxy is fine as well but it's not a good winter bike in the UK, with some of the bearings a bit exposed. They're also insanely expensive. I'm getting rid of mine this summer as I've got a banshee which fits better.
I've ridden my fair share of Stumpjumpers but not the newer ones. Certainly capable bikes but not great value for money. If I were buying right now I'd consider a Jeffsy.
The newish Ibis Ripmo AF is pretty cheap and also meant to be good, or the Norco Optic, but both 29er. Also not sure if £3k+ is really inexpensive but for a new fully mountain bike, I guess it is...
