Hey everyone! I’m looking for a new all mountain/trail/ light enduro ride for around 3k. Have narrowed down options to the YT Jeffsy Core 2, Ibis Ripmo AF (slx build), and the Specialized stumpjumper evo (new, 2022).
Seems like the highest end build and most feature heavy is the stumpy, but that comes at the expense of it being a significantly older bike. Not sure how much to prioritize that, as well as how that affects the warranty/support.
I ride in northern CA, and a good mix of flow/jumps (up to about 15ft) and technical chunky stuff, with a day or two of bike park per year. Worth mentioning, I also have an aggressive hardtail that I love for more mellow trails. Just looking for some advice here, TIA!
