Is this a good bike and deal? Transition Relay.

My local bike shop has this transition relay on sale for $6299+ tax. Here is a link to the specs: https://www.transitionbikes.com/Bikes/Closeout/Relay

For anyone that has a transition, do you like it? Just for reference I am in Central Arkansas so the terrain is very Chunky with lots of roots and rocks.

I really like the 2 in 1 on this bike since the battery is removable saving about 5lbs.

Is this a good deal? over 40% savings from original retail price.

Getting back into mountain biking, have a question on hydraulic vs cable disc brakes.

I'm recently getting back into mountain biking, having been out of it for about 3 decades, and would like some practical information from people who know on what the big benefits of hydraulic discs on a mountain bike. Yes, I know I could have Google's bot give me a break down, but I'd rather hear it from a human rider.

Ozark Trail slalom

Just wanted to share my bike! Got into it about 2 months ago and with the help of my buddies put these upgrades on!

Suspension:
Fork - Rockshox pike rct3 130mm
Rear shock - XFusion O2 RL pro 190x51

Cockpit
Handlebars - Rocky Mountain AM 13.50
Grips - lightly used DMR deathgrips 5
Brakes - takeoff Tectro Orion 4 piston - XXXX

Other:
Headset - Zitto tapered headset 17.99
Front wheel - used WTB TCS I30 - XXXX
Tires - Kenda Amrak 29x2.9" - Free
Seat - Rocky Mountian takeoff- free

Upgrades to come:
Grips: Raceface Chester gum Grips
Tires - Teavail Kessel 29x2.6 Gumwall
Dropper - Ozark trail 125mm dropper

To mount the shock I got my buddy to print me a 1mm shim on each side and reused the factory hardware. The ID of the shock bushing anf the OD of the pin are very very close. Its a bit to small to 3d print but you can easily make one with foil and a ring sizer.

2022 Devinci Django?

I'be been looking to upgrade to a FS from my entry level hardtail (kona lanai) I've had it for 3 years and i think im ready to upgrade I found this in my area for 2000 CAD, I would like to know if this is a good bike for all around, it needs to be able to handle some abuse, downhills, uphills, flats, and everything in between. I do think i can negotiate down so I would like to hear opinions on just hte bike and if its a good deal or not. (It's the base model) I'm looking for a bike that will help me evelate my skill level and allow me to go faster and ride harder trails. This is at the upper end of my budget. Theres is also a Cannondale habit 4 2019 for 1600 in good condition for sale near me.
