    WHat budget do you have? Will you be riding hard? Are you heavy?

    We need more info, and your preferences.

    Yeah bit vague - XC I'd go for something like a recon, FR maybe a bit longer and a bit beefier (Pike/Rev) or the Fox equivelants if you have more money.

    Get biggish vol tyres as they can be a mite harsh at the back. Decent strong but light wheels (no suggestions I am blind when it comes to wheels) and slx/xt/x9 gear as budget and preference allows. finishing kit personal pref and ride style again dictates.

    I am guess its fork and wheel you specifically want to knwo about though!

    I have set my stiffee up as much as a freeride bike as possible. my biggest concern was the wheels and after umming and arring went for halo freeride rims they are a bit on the heavy side but will take anything you can throw at them which is a must if you are doing big trails on a hardtail. i ave also opted for funn wideboy bars and funn rippa stem giving a good freeride setup up front. also i only run two chainrings at the front and have a truvativ rock garden china plate bash guard which is mega bling! good choice of bike by the way!
    does my tail look hard in this?
