About as versatile as your knees

Edit: the conundrum of versatile hard tail mountain bikes is that the worse ones are more versatile. Above about a grand, they are mostly lacking provisions for accessories like racks, kid seats, and fenders. But below, they don’t get droppers, good forks, tubeless tires, tough hubs. There are a few that partly bridge the gap, the Trek X-caliber / Roscoe is a good example. So is the Karate Monkey. But in general if it’s got a thru axle it’s not going to have rack mounts.
