I did ask your budget, but you gave no indication

£50?

"The last time I bought a new MTB was in 2000. Not a clue. Assume off the peg frame/bike with whatever more expensive shit is needed to make it either faster or more durable or comfier."

Does that make it sound like I'd choose a £4k custom mtb over an £1500 OTP? I thought that was pretty clear that I wouldn't be buying bling shit given I don't even know what Boost does.

I don't even know what Boost does
- Marginally stronger wheels (maybe at 30000 kg you might actually notice the difference)
- More clearance for tyres up to 3"
- 💸 Renders old wheels worthless 💸
That's basically it but all bikes have it now so you don't want to not have it.
