Boardman's MHT 8.9 offers a lot of bike for the money in a good looking package that'll appeal to cross-country riders and others who value speed and efficiency over getting rad. More play-focused riders are likely to find the tyres a touch sketchy and the shape a bit short and steep, however.

Blisteringly fast, efficiently light and practical ride that can still rip up the trails. Buy if you've £1,000 to spend and want an excellent hardtail for your budget
Practical yet high-performance frame
Really well chosen fast-trail build kit at a crazily good price
Bar shape won’t suit everyone
Reach could be slightly longer
