Hi,

My current bike is 5 years old and definitely showing it's age. I've decided that it now time to replace. I am currently looking for a trail bike with around 130-140mm travel and would like to hear your suggestions.

My current riding is in both the peaks (summer) and dartmoor and trails near Plymouth (uni). I'm currently doing a bit of everything so want a bike which I can develop on and which is capable of hitting bigger stuff.

I have found the following Whyte 901, Orange Crush and Pinnacle Iroko which all seem to be suitable. I am also intending on getting a dropper which I would hopefully include within the £2k budget.

    You can get a lot of Bird for that sort of money.

    I was in the same boat as you few months ago. I ended up with the bird zero tr. Changed to pike forks and full XT groupset and brakes.

    I love it, smash the lads on there full sus bikes going up and I keep up with them coming back down.
