I have been doing a lot of reading over the past few days of old posts about what AM bikes people recommend for different things, but I really haven't found a previous thread that matches what I'm looking for.
So my situation:
I currently ride a lot of XC/Enduro stuff, both on a hardtail and a short travel dual suspension bike. However I want to be able to ride more aggressively on downhill sections, BUT still be able to ride back uphill as quickly/efficiently as possible. Ideally I want a bike that I would never have to push up hill (not sure how reasonable that is).
I am 6'4" and about 80kgs, chasing an AM bike around about 3k, $3,500 is my max budget. Not really bothered RE new vs. used, although buying a new bike would be preferable. Ideally I would use this bike for weekend trail rides (mt. joyce ect.) and in the upcoming Gravity enduro events.
Thanks in advance for your help
Cheers
