What kind of geometry do you prefer? Freeride or xc. Also a budget helps. I know of a lot of great bikes but at 2000$cdn that may be too steep

If you aren't sure of the differences in geometry check out

www.konaworld.com and check out the Out of Bounds series ht's. They are slacker with the seat further back over the rear tire. Helps with technical riding, steep decents and has a higher standover height.

Or

Regular xc bikes (I won't give a link simply because everyone knows what a basic xc bike looks like )
