If you can stretch it Id go with the Superfly 6. You get the new frame with a better fork. Frame Trek Alpha Platinum aluminum w/Gary Fisher G2 geometry Fork RockShox Reba RL Solo Air, 100mm-travel Rims/Wheels Bontrager Mustang Hubs Bontrager Tires Bontrager XR1 Expert, 29 x 2.2 Crankset SRAM S1010 Chainrings 36/22 Front Derailleur SRAM X7 Rear Derailleur SRAM X9 Type 2 Rear Cogs Shimano, 10-speed: 11-36 Shifters SRAM X7 Handlebars Bontrager Low Riser Tape/Grips Bontrager Race Stem Bontrager Race Lite Brake Levers Shimano Brakes Shimano M445 Disc Saddle Bontrager Evoke 2 Seatpost Bontrager  

My budget was initially $1000 now at $1500 need to cap it. The superfly 6 would be good cannot go further. Looked for Superfly 5 reviews cannot find, but good things on the 2013 X-Caliber and can get it for about $1300 now for it seems discontinued.  

I would say Superfly, for the new geo. Here is a review of the SF8-- I'm a fan of the carbon frame version as an especially exceptional bike, which I have on order.  

Interesting review, a $2400 bike is entry level beginner bike lolest! Wondering if better frame with lesser Recon Silver Fork makes up for not having the Reba in my riding conditions. Other components easily upgradable on the Superfly 5.  

Been shopping around and gotten a 2013 Stache 7 on offer at 1300 which I think is a steal. Funny enough its interesting the Stache is ligher than the Superfly 5 yet the Stache has a more Bomb proof build.  

Settled on the Stache, because I got more bike for the cash, future proof tech, more bomb proof when things get rough, the extra 20mm on the fork plus that color is just wow! Not having the Reba was not a deal breaker and anyway the Stache came as an after thought but very happy I stumbled on it.

Very stable solid bike that you can throw around for fun riding.  

Made me a better rider for sure, sometimes I feel I am cheating compared to my 26er Giant XTC!

A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

The Trek looks amazing and has a decent spec, it’s just a shame the frame isn’t more trail-focused
