• Has anyone seen a better deal than the specialized Stumpjumper evo alloy (on leisure lake), if I’m looking for a bigger travel end of a trail bike new bike for around £2.5k mark?

    Ideally 150mm ish front travel 29er and slightly more trail than enduro. I can’t see a comparable deal on a nukeproof reactor or a canyon spectral for comparison.

  • Looks like the Bike Factory has it for even less (£2k), not sure what size you need.

    I have the prev gen Evo but in 27.5, have to say, it is a pretty good bike - can't complain about the geo even if the BB is a bit low, and things like the SWAT tool and frame storage are actually so useful. I think the one you're looking at has more progressive leverage ratio which is probably an improvement, I decided to swap out the (standard) coil for an air shock.

    Start Fitness have some killer deals on Ibis Ripmos, if that's the kind of thing you're after, with DVO suspension.

  • Ah thank you - and yeah need a S4 so is £2600 there.

    Good to know that the storage stuff is useful.

    I’ve just seen the carbon 2023(?) is available for similar money - so I will sleep on maybe getting that.
