Depends on how much you wanna spend
From Kona, Scott, Giant make some good stuff.
Why XC do you like dressing up in lycra?? Why not Dual Slalom...now thats fun. Hucking jumps and racing real hard. Now you need a different frame. Like K2 flying monkey or Azonic...To bad all the tracks here are wet.

Yea for that LET GRAVITY DO THE JOB!!
But seriously
Hardtail.. if you have a jump bike or a dual slalom, you can use it as a xc bike.
Life is fun unless you are frightened by it.

lol you cannot ride an urban assault hard tail or dj bike in real xc. Head angle is wayyyyy too slack, they are heavy, usually with 24in rear wheels...it's just not very smart.
