I love aluminum bikes. Modern aluminum manufacturing with hydroformed tubes is amazing and I love the look of my two aluminum full suspension bikes with well shaped tubes and beefy welds. The small weight penalty over carbon is well worth having a frame more resistant to impact and doesn't make the horrible noises carbon frames often do.
I have a carbon hardtail, a Transition Throttle and its stiff as. My friends have that banshee hardtail and the 2017 chameleon, and both are more comfortable. The banshee in particular has the best ride feel of any hardtail I've tried.
