Greetings from Essex

Looking for a EMTB for the wife, fed up with waiting for her to catch up on her Merida Juliet, currently I ride a Carrera Vengeance but looking to upgrade to a enduro non EMTB.

suggestions please with a budget of around 2k, bike will be used mainly on forest Trails (Thetford Forest) or Flitch Way (disused railway from Braintree to Bishops Stortford). she's competent on bike with good control so possibly something she can gain confidence with and step up to better trails.

Thanks in advance, take it easy its my first post?

The wife and I both upgraded from Carrera Vulcans to Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro 500 (the women’s version is called the Access Hybrid Pro)
Still plenty of 2019 versions around (Paul’s Cycles) going for £1780 reduced from £2199
If you want the 2020 versions with the smaller, lighter motors you may have to wait longer.

If you can afford it, go for full suspension over hardtail. So much better offroad.

If you want to go down the full sus route then Evans are selling a Cube Stereo Hybrid 140mm travel reduced from £3299 to a bargain price £2635
Only available in a 20 inch frame

that sounds good, she's only 5ft 5' and a full sus would suit her better.

Full sus all day every day!
