So I think I need a new MTB. Looking for 1x drivetrain and aluminum frame. Preferably light and cheapish. Anyone seen anything interesting?
Thanks!

There's no right answer. I was ambiguous in purpose. Open discussion.
So the Trek xcaliber 8 seems to fit the bill. $1400 MSRP.
Probably 40% dirt, 40% pavement and 20% off road. The current bike is just too heavy. A fork with alu steerer would help but the frame is also bullet proof. And the rider has issues with front deraiileur shifting. Hence the 1x shifting.
