Any XC Riders out there?

technical XC rather than interminable plodding round the edges of fields on dull dull dull bridleways?....youll be wanting some rear sus. in my book then.....ride further/be less-fatigued/hit technical stuff at speed that a hardtail will shy at...

whats your budget?
trek fuel or Specializeds spring to mind....

Got to be on the short list, if budget allows.
