Good grief, I can hardly think of anywhere in the UK that deserves anything more than a medium travel trail bike at most. Malverns, short travel is ample. Sheesh. Get a grip UK
I think that it's also worth considering the Polygon N7 and N9 - well spec'd and a lot cheaper than everything else. I thought my Rocky Mountain Altitude A30 was a good buy.
Three great value bikes mentioned there Steve! The Polygon's are cracking value, especially as they have a genuine six-bar-link suspension system. That Rocky Mountain looks lovely too. ~ Will
Which is your favourite budget enduro bike?
none of these, I went with a Salsa Cycles Cassidy 29" :D
Dartmoor bikes
Capra any day, demo'd one at malverns was brilliant. Props to Will for shredding the whip off on Friday night!
Glad you enjoyed it! The Malverns is a great opportunity for a demo lap! Thanks very much Craig, I had a great time!

@@marknorton3951 good grief I wasn't aware that you knew every trail in the UK and what travel you need for them.
@@craigbest8644 meh, probably after too many beers I wrote something pointless. Pointless but on the whole true.
That 'tache is perfect for radio......

GT Force sport. It can be bought for £1200. Granted it doesn't have rhe popular SRAM and Shimano drivetrains but Advent X is decent enough for most.
What a bargain! That certainly does sound like great value for money!
~ Will
Nothing wrong with advent, better than sx/nx and not that far off from deore.
The Polygon Colussus N9 is sub 3k and spec'd way better drivetrain, suspension and brakes than most on that list though
Whyte for me
Marin Alpine Trail 1 or Merida One Sixty 500?
Both great enduro machines, offering real value for money!

This guy's mustache is surreal. He looks like a cartoon came to life.
The Status has a DPX2 not a float X
Fuji auric or Rakan
Look for something under 30 lbs if you plan on pedaling up the hill imo...
polygom
Polygon Collosus N9 is specd better and $1000 cheaper
A great value bike for sure! And impressive to have a six-bar linkage on a bike at its price point!

If 3k is budget enduro bike i might as well go with emtb lol… these are not budget enduro bike at all. Canyon offers budget enduro bike for me
They didn't say budget ! They said good value .....if youncould buy the mona Lisa for 20 million it wouldn't be cheap but it would be good value
What Enduro emtb can you get for 3k?
