Hi guys, i want to buy my first full sus bike for mountain biking. I'm considering the Canyon Strive ( 4.0 Race, since it's the cheapest of them, still costs 2600 €). I want to ride it on the trails and offroad it at random locations in my country, so not just the well maintained trails, but maybe do some sort of mountain exploring like thingy, it's my hobby to just ride in the wilderness with my friends and just go around there, 'till we find our way back.

Question is, is the Strive a good choice for me? I've also considered Merida products, like the One-Twenty/Forty/Sixty series, but found the Strive a better option.

Also, are there any more considerable full suspension, Entry-enduro bikes for/under 2600 €i should consider?
