I've been looking for and reading just for thoose type of bikes and end up with similar list. There was time that I was into Canyon, than Lapierre and ofcourse TREK Remedy. So I vote 100% for TREK Remedy! But also would think about the offer of LAPIERRE 2008 for 2000 Euros. If you ask me you have done a fantastic choices with the list you offered.

But again, these hardtails are too sweet! Thanks for the tip! The suspension is not what I’m looking for, it hasn’t got a link in in the chainstay (or something other similar to horstlink).

It's has just been revised, has mutiple travel options which makes it the perfect match for your divers needs. It is imho uncommon which makes it sexy and last but not least you have the possibility to get/give feedback directly to the designer himself (Cy). The communication with those guys is great, they don't have problems with oversees sales. I am a proud owner of a Soul (140mm steel SS HT) and very very happy with their approach to the fun factor in biking. Could be worth a shot... :) Tanja,

I've learned that the 6.2 is 15.4 kg, and if possible I would like something lighter. But it's a very very nice bike! You're looking for a 140mm bike? Looked at the Mongoose Teocali? That floating suspension really rocks! Hey Patrick, the Meta has 140 mm travel and I want a little more. I’ve learned that the 6.2 is 15.4 kg, and if possible I would like something lighter.

The Remedy 7 has the same frame as the 8 and 9, so including the ABP. And that does sound smart! I don't think the headtube limits fork choice more than other frame so, just the headset: no sexy Chris King I think :-) I agree, I would swap the chainset, to bad it'll add some extra weight ;-) I'm having a CUBE day today, but I bet it'll be different tomorrow...sigh! Hope next time we ride, there's a new baby in the family, as soon as I can make a choice. Hey Mal, thanks for your feedback. The Remedy 7 has the same frame as the 8 and 9, so including the ABP.
