Why this bike over a similiar bruiser that climbs well like the spire? Why this bike over a downhill shredder like the altitude? I almost bought this bike and then had the recommendation to first check out these others. I live in Vernon, have silverstar bike park nearby as well as some fast open + slower tech trails. I have been happily riding a fugitive LT for about 5 years but am looking to change things up. I find that the commentary thus far has been quite engaging and benefit from your insights. I have narrowed it down to these three as they are all on steep discount (including a demo'd 2024 altitude a70) and I'm keen to take advantage of current sales and my trails are covered in snow so can't demo.
