With your approx. budget and requirements it's what I would choose (indeed we have 2 Whytes in the family, for me and Mrs BF, so we do the money where mouth bit) If I was concerned to work to a lower budget, I'd be buying a Carrera and still feeling just fine about it.SummitFreedom wrote: ↑9 Jun 2023, 6:29pmDeore is better than what Giant provide right?

Excellent cycles, light, very highly regarded, super colour - quite like grey but rather more exclusive, plenty of gear range for those hilly parts of the trails.
So isn't this a better cycle than the Giant?
Does it have less gears than the Giant and does that make it worse?
The single gear on the front makes things much easier and less maintenance I guess?
Looks decent in Bronze, but there is only 1 user photo of it.
Thanks
This has every gear you're likely to need - most importantly it has low gears to get you up hills. More is better. Or more isn't. You call it. Lots and lots of people ride 1x and you won't find it lacking for your use IMHO.
At some point you will have to buy something. Or not. You call this one too. Perhaps this analysis is better than going for a ride? Dunno, but most on here would rather go and ride, but if not, here's another option to confuse you.
