New XC/AM full sus bike

[markII]

Hi !
I`m starting to look towards full suspension bike, for all mountain/XC use.. At the moment I`m consider Canyon Nerve AL 29 7.9 bike (2014 model) (https://www.canyon.com/_en/mountainbikes/bike.html?b=3182.
Decent specs (imo), read all reviews, bike is even 200gr  lighter then my hardtail Cube 13kg 
Giant asking too much $$$, Lapierre...spec too low?
Anyway, will listen to all tips.

Thx,
Mark

Canyon always had good spec and price.... pity you cant try before you buy.!

Very popular bikes with MAD. Only problem is if you have an issue you have to send it back to germany.

i like the lapierre at the moment, climbs well
