Any advice on the best hardtail MTB for around £1000.

You'll need to give us a lot more to go on than that. What would you use it for? what have you owned before for comparison.. likes / dislikes??

Very happy with my Marin Palisades trail 2010(minor mods), Handles all I throw at it, great at XC and trail centres, not too shabby downhill either, what are you after?
