Hardtail MTB for around £1k?

[astroarcadia]

Suggestions?

Something fast needed for local trails. Have been looking at Canyon but as a roadie looking to visit the dark side I'm not so aware of the best MTB bikes.

Happy to spend a bit more or less to hit that sweet spot where you get max value for your ££££.

Why wouldn't I buy this...... https://www.canyon.com/en-gb/mtb/grand-canyon/gran... or this.... https://www.canyon.com/en-gb/mtb/grand-canyon/gran...


TIA.

That's what I'd do....
I wouldn't stress too much about canyon delivery, the number f moaners on the net is high but they only represent a minority of UK customers, we complain about delays etc but rarely start threads about great customer service or prompt delivery.

Ill check it out, thanks.

I know of Canyon delivery issues - I have a CF SLX road bike that was late - but the product is so good it would not stop me buying another.

OK so F29 has the odd forks.

Whats the theory - why so rated?

That F29 is heavier than the Canyon and comes with a lower spec?
