Excellent thread, I learned a lot! I am looking for a similar spec like outlined in the original post. Leaning a bit more towards gnarlier trail. I also was pulled towards the Ripley and Neuron. Based on the advise given here I wonder if the Canyon Spectral CF is a better fit as candidate. It offers quite a bit more progressive geometry and would even allow to upsize to L as the seat tube length is also a bit shorter. I am 5’10” and was able to ride a Neuron M and that felt fairly small. Any opinion is greatly appreciated.
Big divorce between Mike’s and Specialized. The word is that Specialized-CEO Mike Sinyard was pissed about the sale of Mike’s bike and pulled the plug on them. I am one of the 400 that got into the middle of this. I purchased and paid in full a Specialized MTB in march 2021 that will not get deliver. It is sad to see this fight of the titans being done on the back of longtime customers. My sympathy is now with smaller brands.
