Recommended full sussers

MC2014

Hi guys,

I've been riding a hardtail for 3 years now and as I'm growing in experience and confidence I feel that I'm ready to upgrade to a full suss.

I ride singletrack and trail centres like llandegla and Cannock chase and also more downhill type routes.

I'm looking to spend between £1.5k - £2.5k, I want to buy new and don't mind the older models like 2013 if there still available to get a better spec for my money.

Ideally I'm looking for either a 650b or 26er, I have rode a 29er and do not like the feel of the ride.
Also between 130mm - 150mm front travel would be ideal (160mm may be to much)

I know canyon,YT and rose bikes would be the best value for the money but I don't like the fact that there not based in the uk incase anything does wrong or neither do I want to wait 3+ months for it to arrive.

Anybody seen any amazing clearance deals or any new bikes due to be released?

So what could you guys recommend me to try out?

Thankyou in advance for any advice

Mega TR, Trance, Stumpjumper (not sure on the rrp and spec of them in the UK though), Remedy 7/8 would be on my list to try but having ridden (albeit briefly) the Mega TR I'd be drawn to that on a 2.5k budget. Not sure you'd get a great build doing it yourself versus the CRC pricing on built models.
