Buying new 29er from 1200 to 1700 euros

justinishere

hey guys,

i own a Focus black forest 29er 1.0 2012 year model. the bike is ok but there are some thing i really dont like and i got bored fixing it everytime. i am trying to sell it right now and looking for a new one in the price range. there is one main criteria, there have to be an x12 thru axel at the back like canyon bikes do that. also, would be nice if the bike would be equipped with dt swiss fork(heard those are much better then RS or Fox, have less tendancy to break down or smth O_O)
so, if you know anything, would be nice if you share the info with me thx a lot guys!

The clue may have been in your question... A canyon?

Incidently, others may disagree regarding the forks! Anyway, not many bikes come with dt swiss forks as stock, you may need to get them as an aftermarket upgrade if you want them.

so, i wrote a letter to DT Swiss, to ask what bike manufacturers include their fork as a stock, and what i did get was that there are so many bikes with the DT Swiss forks at the market, that they cant even tell all of them. O_O. but why cant i find a single bike then?

Maybe that should tell you something.
