Do you want a trail bike or a trials bike with a seat?
Best cheap crossover is a Pampera. 4rides are expensive but you have the Sherco for that stuff don't you? Ossa do the explorer which pop up from time to time. Most LDT stages aren't that hard though that they need that crazy a bike.

Well, the LDT run locally has a rep for difficulty!
I have the Sherco ST300 with the bigger tank/seat yea. I used it the other day and felt awful range anxiety. Felt like it just didn’t suit trails to get to a section to practice (the idea behind buying the seat unit).
The DR350 is my trail bike, but it’s a bit heavy.
Someone but a 4RT engine into a 4Ride but they want more than £3.2k. For that I could buy an enduro.
Pampera was on the list, but I had some reluctance toward it for some reason. Can’t remember why.
Edit: ah yea because 2T. The Pampera I’d be worried for all the parts issues and that it is likely ragged.

They’d take £2k and it is minty and 8k miles. Struggling to find a better LDT option for similar money in that condition.
People want £2-2.5k for old TLR200’s, and I can’t find any 4RT’s for less than £3k.
Serrow, XT etc all good options but similarly thin. DR250 would be too close to the 350 in weight, I think.
