To my avid riders out there, I could use some help. It’s been 20yrs since my XC racing days and have been road cycling the last 10yrs. Now I’d like to get back into it(not racing ) and a lot has changed.
I want a bike that is great at climbing and rip thorough a bike park as well. Nothing extreme but can hold a good line without much fuss and bobbing. My goals are to have fun without trying to kill myself. Not going for KOM’s. I am pretty clueless on what is a great bike these days as so much has changed. I don’t plan on riding super long distances. My goals are 10-25mi. with my limited time. I have a couple nice dh parks within 8-15mins from my home and will frequent those often. Again, not going to do anything Youtube worthy. Some days I’ll just ride a nice long single track mountain trail with my dog. Thanks for help.
What I am considering so far:
-StumperJumper expert
-StumpjumperEVO pro
-Trek Top fuel or fuel ex of some sort
-Ibis Ripmo V2 XT
-Ibis Ripley GX Eagle
-Yeti SB130c2 gx
