Hey all, as the title suggests I’m looking for a new hardtail for around $1500 USD for my girlfriend who is just getting into mountain biking. It needs to be a size small, so 29” may be questionably available and therefore 27.5” is okay as well. Looking for something oriented toward XC/Trail, just for some fun green flow and some occasional blue trails with some chunk. She currently has an older Roscoe from 2017, but she has since outgrown it as it’s an XS. She really likes the color scheme of the new green/tanwall Roscoe 7, but I was curious to see if there is anything other options better specced for the price range. Thanks in advance for any advice!
