"Yt capra!"

Giant

"Get a Giant Reign SX. It pedals like an Enduro bike."

"I just got a trance for nearly 50% off RRP."

"If you want to have a one-bike quiver and you learn towards the 'burly enduro' side of things that's a good choice."

"The Giant trance x is a good bike for the cost too."

"Giant Trance X 29 2 or 3."

"Used Giant Reign 2 or Giant Trance is your best bet."

"For a brick and mortar brand, Giant Reign."

"End of year giant reign is likely a really good option."

"One of the regulars on my club's rides has a Lust 2 and seems to love it."

"My trance climbs great, so I expect the intrigue will too."

"The Stumpy is the only bike I’d buy and ride out the shop with no mods."

"The SJ is exactly what you are looking for."

"S-works Enduro."

"I'm 5'9" and fit a medium enduro well."

"I ride a M size specialized enduro expert SL and It fits me well."

"I'm on a specialized enduro now and it is much more forgiving and it climbs just as good."

"I ended up building an S-Works Enduro 170/170, 29er and selling the Spectral."

"Stumpjumpers are pretty well dialed all-arounders."

"I’ve seen the Stumpjumper frame on sale recently specifically on fanatik bike. So that’s my choice."

"[Specialized Enduro Comp](https://www.specialized.com/us/en/enduro-comp/p/199761?color=320372-199761) just over 5k MSRP but you can usually find it for under depending on where you live."

"Not sure about the bike you mentioned, but I just went from a hardtail to a Trek Fuel Ex Gen 6 build."

"I'd go for a long travel trail bike like the Ripmo, Sentinal, Switchblade, etc."

"If you liked the Ripmo AF you owe to yourself to look at the carbon version."

"If going on the 3 - 4kish budget I’d probably get a ripmo af personally."

"Ripmo hands down"

"Ibis Mojo HD3 with offset bushings."

"The Ripmo AF would be a contender for sure."

"Ripmo af Deore build... Pedals super well and just lives for bike park trails."

"Went canyon spectral due to cost and love it."

"Otherwise canyon torque AL, or as others have mentioned, used."
