Sorry if this is the wrong forum but im trying to decide what type of bike I should be looking at, an XC or more of a trail/AM bike. This video is a trail nearby that I usually ride in this area a couple times of week. Is this more trail or xc or what? I just call it all mountain biking but id like to get a bike that suits this area.
There is a massive climb to get to this downhill btw but its 70% pavement. It seems meatier tires and rear suspension would really help me on my current hard tail, these XC tires make me ride fairly slow as im afraid to go off hill (I have). I think a 29" wheel would not be nimble enough but who knows. It doesn't look very steep but there is a bit of a grade.
Thanks for any tips.
