If you are already running an aggressive hardtail, would you get a 2nd hardtail with different geometry or would you rather get a fullsus?

any advice?

Hi everyone,

is there any Giant Fathomers here?

These HARDTAILS as we know, they differ slightly in their geometry and their orientation, but in GENERAL these aggressive/progressive hardtails can all do the same thing on the trails (taking into consideration their climbing, downhill, agility and pedalling efficiencies). How do they stack up in your opinion?

Giant Fathom

Canyon Stoic

Orbea Laufey

Marin St Quentin

Santa Cruz Chameleon

Nukeproof Scout

Trek Roscoe

Merida Big Trail 600

Yeti ARC

Just a thought.

if we look closely at the brand GIANT, it is funny that many people from the MTB community look down on this brand while Giant has professional Champion racers who are worthy of wearing the distinctive white rainbow UCI jersey who signed and are racing for GIANT across all disciplines. example: Alan Hatherly.

Similarly Nino Schurter is racing for Scott, but we hardly see people talk about Scott (or Gaint) like they do about Santa Cruz as an example.

kinda biased opinion among the general MTB community. what do you guys think?
