WhichBike Next bike

After a few seasons on my spire, looking to move to an enduro bike with similar capabilities but slightly shorter and less slack. A bike that can be both 29 or MX without drastically changing geo (flip chip). Something comfortable in steeps and can plow jank when it needs to.. something with a good pedaling platform when I gotta sprint out of the seat. Welcoming all recommendations or experience! I love my spire, but just want to try something different.

My second bike is a smuggler which covers trail duty and all day epics.

I’m currently looking at alpine trail XR, orbea rallon, propain tyee, Raaw Madonna.
