I’ve been having a lot of fun these last few months on it. Been riding it more than my transition spire!! Admittedly this is not a playful and jibby little jumper, however it is still a lot of fun on the jump lines and climbs well enough. That price is ridiculous! I definitely spent way more than that, but also pieced it together with exactly what I wanted so I do have a better spec all The way around.

All more the same than different (modern aggro geo, value priced, blah blah) at least for an aging gravel/CX/roadie who doesn’t even yet know exactly who he is on a MTB.

Yep agree with you. The Vitus Sentier hardtail just confuses me. It has massively long seat tube for no apparent reason. Its anywhere from 30 - 60mm longer than its competitors. The crazy thing is that they actually reduced the seat tube length from earlier models! Last thing I want when descending steeps is a high saddle pushing me forward over bars.

Not really a budget bike, but you should check out the Salsa Timberjack! I’m not an expert in geometry, but on paper it looks like it would be a really fun 130mm trail bike. Plus, being Salsa, it has lots of water bottle mounts everywhere to carry gear

A hard tail is a great option if your local terrain is not too rough. Full suspension is still worth the money with lockouts. Even cross country suspension specs is better overall than hardtail. For most folks and entry level riders they area great and still fairly capable. Riding a fully rigid mtb will make you better rider provided the terrain isn't crazy rough.

In uk we are limited with bikes and colors , can’t anyone in USA adopt me ?

What do you mean you don't have 1300 laying around? Paycheck to Paycheck? What's going on with people?

Oh I have much more than that saved; emphasis on saved, not to be haphazardly thrown at a bike. If I spent like that then I probably would be living paycheck to paycheck lol, too many good bikes out there!

I hate the pricing of the bikes, as Im Mexican living in Mexico, they actually are most expensive here than the currency conversion, and we wouldnt be able to buy in the US without proper import fees, taxes, and shipping. And the worst part is income differences, average salary per year, a manager alike, could be around 10 000 dollars here (I tend to earn more than that), most of the people earn so much less than that, and I think in USA average could be 40 to 50 thousands, anyways, is so uneven, buying a bike what represents to people here to people in the US, a whole diferent picture

Ah bummer, sorry to hear that man!!

Literally the inky person I've ever seen complain about the seat tube on the Stoic. Sam Pilgrim seems to ride this bike and other bikes with much taller seat tubes with no problems

You must not watch many hardtail reviews than lol, it’s a pretty common complaint. Pilgrim’s a lot better than me lol, I need all the help from good geometry I can get!

That's in British pounds not Usd

Why do you want a carbon bike?

Dropper Post on a Hardtail? You have got to be kidding me. Those guys have got everybody suckered into buying dropper posts!! What a Gimmick and they are taking it to the bank!! Now days most people wouldn't ride a hardtail on any trail that would be that difficult. The whole industry is brainwashed to think they need a dropper post on every mountain bike that is sold.

You recommend the bike named after meth use??? Horrible marketing plan 😂

What’s the difference between hardcore trail bike and xc trail bike (hardtail)

Biggest difference are the geometry and fork travel. XC bikes are designed to be the fastest possible climbers, whereas aggressive/hardcore hardtails have a larger priority on descending/jumping
