Amazon [amazon.com] has the Canyon Exceed CF 5 Hardtail MTB in Silver for sizes XS $1175
& Small $1283.
Features:
Carbon Fiber frame
SRAM SX Eagle Rear Derailleur/Shift Lever .
Rear Cassette SRAM PG-1230 Eagle 11-50 12s
RockShox Recon RL Remote Fork with 100 mm travel
Tubeless Ready
DT Swiss 370 Hub
Notes: The SX shifter, chain, and derailleur are entry-level, but moving up to GX is only about $200 total parts before labor. Also, Canyon sizing tends to run large. If you're 5'5", you'd normally ride a Small in other brands, but with Canyon you'll barely fit an XS. See the size chart.
Edit: Bought and received, was really easy to put together and unboxing includes all tools. Just need to attach the wheels, handlebars, attach the remote switch for front forks, add seat post, and pedals. Unlike my Specialized Chisel FS with a SX drivetrain, this Canyon Exceed had a perfectly tuned SX drivetrain out of the box. Most of the work will be removing the protective bubble wrap and breaking down the box. See
Canyon's unboxing vid [youtube.com].
Canyon Site [canyon.com] just for reference to check details and components.

SX/GX maybe not the best from SRAM, but probably okay until they wear out. The best upgrade would be getting nicer wheels and changing to a carbon seatpost.

You can upgrade:
- shifter
- derailleur
- chain
to GX without changing the freehub if you keep using the same NX/SX cassette. Swapping out SX for a GX shifter/derailleur should get a noticably crisper improvement. I did so on my entry-level Specialized Chisel FS.You can upgrade:
