Bike of the year in 2023 is sort of like the Time Magazine cover that was a mirror. The real winner in 2023 was the consumer, with prices falling across the entire range of mountain bikes and performance (actually) plateauing the last few years. While this may be bad for companies, its incredibly good for the consumer who was often able to purchase at dang near shop-employee pricing from a myriad of companies.
There really aren't many "bad" bikes out there these days, but there are better bikes than others depending on what you are trying to do, and there are clearly bikes that are better priced than others.
