Still in process of reading reviews, heavily hooked on emtb, thinking about Turbo Levo Comp and Giant Trance as those are only brands with good support where I live.
Welcome to to emtb.
Personally, and my slightly biased, opinion would be that you should get the Giant trance.
I really love Giant. Both from a quality standpoint, as well as from a price point.
I got the Giant fathom e+3 2019, and can recommend that over anything else, if your looking for hardtail bikes.
