Like this la ....
Whats your budget?
For XT and Blut LT (non Kak Shima shock) ...it ll probably cost you RM6.8K
Shimano or SRAM? If budget is not an issue ....
Then try SRAM....honestly I think both have its strength and weaknesses ...just a matter of preference
*
how about Santa Cruz Superlight?
my current Fuji bike is using XT group set and Fox shock..
thinking of upgrading my body to full sus..
Maybe Blur or Superlight from santa cruz...
doing my budget list ...

short bar easier to climb but too sensitive so may cause handling issue.
Long bar stable but harder to climb.

The optimize bar climb length is 5-10% of the rider's shoulder wide.
It get more stable if you increase the length until the too wide for comfort length.

For stem, shorter for more responsive and more upright position thus more dif to climb.
Longer stem is better for climb but less responsive.

thanks for the info... appreciated it...
