Been riding a Canyon stoic 2 for a while now. My first truly modern bike tho I’ve had older hybrids and an old full sus in the past. I liked the amount of bike and components I got for the price and the ability to upgrade is a huge plus but I’ve kept it completely stock for now since I’m still not totally sold on hard tail riding. I’m starting to feel the effects of riding while being not as young and bouncy and do end some rides feeling beat up in general. Should I explore different frames and or components on my bike first or am I hitting the hard limits here? I do like the simplicity of the bike and my riding is seasonal so I also want $$ for winter activities as well as saving on maintenance. I don’t want to upgrade my bike or get another Hardtail just to still be worn out some of the time.
