Advice over XC options

ivo.jorge

Hello,

After evaluating between buying a Gravel or MTB XC I decided on the last one.
I've also decided to go on hardtail.
My budget is between 2500 and 3500€.

After some evaluation I am considering the following options:

If you were in my case which option do you think it is the best?

Thanks.

The answer is which ever fits you best and meets your riding needs.

Even if you tried to describe those then your still better of trying all the bikes if you cant work it out from the geometry charts and spec sheet.

Have a look at bird.
You can get a very good hard tail for less than your budget
