New Bike Options after Trance X E2 pro 2021 Goes Bang :(

[mooby77]

Hi
After 2.5 Years on the Trance X E 2 PRO , and out of warranty , motor goes bang , looking at a couple of options and after some opinions
Will probably get the Yamaha motor repaired, whole bike needs refurb as it has been used

Ride a bit of bike park , single track and FOD and a few of the batch's around here in the south west , if you know where they are , and what they are

Bikes I am looking at the following as they are discounted 2023

1. Whyte E-160 RS MX 2023 Mullet - Bit concerned about the low bottom bracket height and weight , £4799
2. Mondraker Crafty RR 2023 , - Bit concerned around the non removable battery £5190
3. Orange 2023 Phase MX Pro 29/27.5 Mullet - Never rode a Shimano EP bike ? £4750
4. Orbea WIld H20 2023 - £4999. Have a analogue Occam and love it , Not great fork for the spec

Any comments or other options in that kinda budget.

Thanks,
Paul

Cube stereo hybrid SLX/TM might be worth a look.

Buy the Whyte. I’m on my second e180s. Built like a tank
