I need help deciding what trail bike to get?

Question

im gonna be getting a trail bike. maybe racing some super D or all mountain. im thinking 5-6 inches or rear travel. it cant be more then 30lb. my company options are cannondale, bianchi, yeti, specialized, diamond back, mavrick, or santa cruz

Answer 1

I would look very closely at the Santa Cruz Blur LT 2, it looks like it will be really for Super D.   Maybe the downside is that right now it's pretty new and you have to wait a bit for one, and there's hasn't been too much time for people to really ride it and read reviews after a time.

Specialized Enduro SL sounds a pretty good bike, but I would prefer the BLT2.

Answer 2

the vp-free and the v-10(santa cruz) are pretty good but im not sure if they're under 30. The specialized pitch is a pretty good all moutain bike and the big hit is a good d.h.
