Best MTB Hardtail

What is the best MTB hardtail? I've been riding a Santa Cruz Chameleon the past two years and want to learn about some other hardtail bikes that would be fun to ride. Leave a comment with a suggestion of a bike that I should check out!

Id say the nukeproof scout is up there

[jacobhansonmtb]

The Marin San Quentin as well as the trek roscoe and the canyon stoic

[PraiseToTheLordGodAlmighty]

The Kona Honzo feels super comfortable in any environment you throw at it

[FootyFreakProd]

The specialised fuse, Marin san Quentin, nukeproof scout are all great hard tails

the commencal meta ht is like a monster truck i absolutely love it! it’s also playful too

I have been loving my norco torrent. For what I ride it’s light enough, with plenty of space in the frame for me to go packless, the fork isn’t the most refined but turns big hits into butter.

I ride a Norco Torrent A2 HT. The ONLY needed upgrade was swapping forks for a Marzocchi Z1 air. That's it. It's perfect. Deore drive train is the perfect match for a heavy rider like me. Even the Tektro 4 piston brakes are a surprise. Upgrading anything else is just frivolous and a waste of money.

I’m on a commencal meta HT rn loving it

Dartmoor hornet is a super strong freeride hardtail. They literally say on their website that you can put a dual crown fork on it if you want and will work no problem. Also visualy the tubes are alot thicker than other aggressive hardtails

[alexramirez]

Specialized chisel. Light, nimble and fast!

I’ve custom built my Roscoe 7 2018. And love it.

I ride a Ragley Piglet with a 160mm fox 36 and its awesome. Plows thru anything but still corners great.

[BigBeanBen]

For value for money the on one scandal is amazing. It has an air suspension 29ers, a dropper post and is still nearly as light as the carbon cc Santa Cruz I’m on now, it’s a brilliant bike.

I'm currently riding a 2022 trek roscoe 8, absolutely awesome bike

[hansonwang]

Depends if you want a hardtail to focus on trail riding or trials type of riding. For trials, I can't think of anything better than the Chameleon. There is a whole world of bikes out there for trail riding, the new 2022 Chameleon is a great trail bike, but there are so many good bikes out there.

[jonahtillman]

I swear by my yeti arc. Expensive, definitely not for trials, but it is gnarly and pared with my fox 38 it’s what my buddies call the portable sender. It’s an awesome ride

[theamericanski]

My buddy has a totally reimagined roscoe. Zeb, mullet, hope brakes, I9 hydra and he stripped the frame so it looks insane.

[a.s.]

The ragley mmmhop is sick. Built it up as a mullet and it rocks🤘

[mikekelly]

Depends on what you're doing. XC race, AM, smooth single track, dirt jump, 24hr single speed racing...
