Full suss short/mid-travel ‘do it all’ mtbs. Talk to me.
I want to start mountain biking again but have no real clue to where to start. Can these types of bike really do it all? Apart from the uk, we regularly travel to Heidelberg in Germany and I’d like a bike to take with me. Literally everyone seems to be on full-suss there.
My previous rigid ss mtb experience has done little to prepare me for the myriad options…
Thinking maybe something like a canyon neuron. Also considered sonder cortex and cotic flare max (or maybe jeht?), maybe trek top fuel/fuel ex.
I've got a FlareMax frame for sale, if that's of interest? Large size.
Short/mid travel bikes are incredibly capable these days, I loved the FlareMax for both gentle XC stuff right up to steep rough trail stuff. Steel really helped it feel like it had more travel than it does
