MTB buying Advice needed

    After a 6 year hiatus due to a few injury's & getting lazy (mainly the latter :o) I've finally decided to get back in the saddle,


    Having been out of the game for so long I need some help choosing a new bike. Local bike shops have nothing that suits me so i'll properly be buying online.

    Budget is €1100ish
    Medium frame hardtail
    At least 130mm travel up front
    Reasonable weight

    I'm planning on being on road as well as off, so whatever bike I get will have to be tough enough to hit the local trails as well as comfortable enough to do 25-30km round trip to get there!

    So far the only bike I've come across almost within budget that seems to fit the bill is this but I'd like a few alternatives.

    Thanks

    If I were in your position I'd be considering something from Canyon.

    I had completely forgotten about On one, which is slightly embarrassing seeing as I built up an On One frame for dirt jumping a few years back :o

    The 456 Evo looks ideal though
