Hi!

Looking for any bike up to 1000 pounds. Usually Im biking in forest, small mountains etc. Not really really big jumps etc.

I would like to have bike for future - I mean bike which I can rebuild / exchange for better parts in the future etc.

I have one favourite in these 3 bikes, I just wonder what can you recommend me.

I'll be grateful for help

The Bossnut is a trail bike not an XC bike, as is the Fathom, and a 27.5 is certainly not XC.

So what sort of bike do you really want?

Is that true that XC is lets say "a bit more universal bike" than trial?

Im looking for bike for this kind of riding:

Of course in amateur version.

The Calibre. FS is just nicer for general trail riding, and that's a bargain. As well as being a good bike.

No, the other way round, XC is faster and flatter, Trail is XC with a bit more gnarly added in.
Both those videos are XC, this a bit more towards trail riding.
