This is my mountain bike.
You want a superb hard tail? Look for this bike - it's a Giant Talon LTD. A model from 2012 that you could probably still find at some shops in Europe (unfortunately available only in this region).
I got it for CHF 1,400 though I told my wife it was only 800 quid. It's been sometimes now and since I have used it to the max and thoroughly enjoy the routine, I'm sure she will recognise that it's a money well spent. To be honest, there is no way, absolutely no way that one can get any cheaper price for the spec.
I don't think I can lay down a good comparison to other hard tails or even soft tails as I have not used that many and certainly not owned any before. But, one thing for certain is that I have not a single complaint about this bike. It rides well and smooth and handles all surfaces superbly - gravel, single train, soft mud, hard tarmac, you name it. The best is the comfort and ease it offers when climbing. I can only say that it's the bike for me and I will keep riding it as long as I can.
Thank you my hard tail - you've changed my life.
