I usually travel with an older model Decathlon Black & Fresh Arpenaz 3. It weighs about 3.5 kg and packs down into a fairly bulky bag, but I just carry it in one of my rear panniers. I also own a lightweight one-person tent pretty similar to yours, it’s only 900g, which is great, but I really don’t like that it’s single-walled and that I can’t sit up inside. What I love about the Black & Fresh is that, especially in summer, I’m not woken up at 5 a.m. by the sun lighting up the whole tent. It’s definitely heavier, but for me the comfort is totally worth it.

https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/4-person-camping-tent-arpenaz-4-1-fresh-and-black/177332/c98c335m8731616 I can't recommend this one enough, easy to set up, not too big, Plently of room for 2, stays dark in the mornings and cool in the heat. Edit: Just seen someone post the 3 man one, also a very good tent but might be a bit cramped with two of you.

The best bang for the buck is gear from Decathlon. I did the TET UK with one for 3 weeks 5 years ago and still using it today

We picked up the 3 person non-pop up tent today. Had a little more room than the pop up and will be used for scout trips with my wife and kid. Can't speak to it yet but I've heard generally good things about decathlon tents in general

The Decathlon Black and Fresh tents are really good if you don’t want to be woken up by the sun. I have the 3 person version and recently packed without issues on my rack, but definitely too big to fork mount. I’ve borrowed the Grand Canyon Richmond 1 from a friend and that was a easy fork mount.  With the things you’re looking for the MH100 checks all the boxes, but you’ll probably need to rethink the packing a bit.

I don't have that specific tent, but every single decathlon product I have owned has outperformed my expectations. I have the budget 3 person tent, for my family, and it's lasted 5 years with more life in it. I will be getting one of Decathlons more expensive tents once it breaks.
