+1 the kidney or teste, although you can only do them once (unless you're 100% sure you don't want children). Its also possible to recover from donating up to 50% of your liver, which then grows back over several years, allowing you to donate it again (which gets you a new bike every few years).

The differences between an XC and Downhill are very clear. But could you do a comparison between a trail and an enduro bike? When go for a trail and when enduro? What is really the most suited allrounder from weekend riding to a Transalp tour of a week?

I don't know those trails, but it comes down to agility vs bashing. Any modern Trail or Enduro bike is more capable than most riders on their best days (self included) and can handle even the gnarliest of descents or the steepest climbs. Having said that, NONE of the big burly rigs are as quick and agile as the lighter trail bikes and they don't climb as efficiently, no matter what the media says. If you prioritize climbing, like picking good lines, and don't mind letting your body do more of the suspension's job, go trail. If you like to smash through anything, and don't mind slogging up hills to destroy descents, bigger bike.

Only a year in owning an xc hardtail, and managing some blue grade trails. Hired an enduro bike recently on blue/red trails and its like night and day compared to my xc bike. The enduro gives me so much more confidence in berms, steeper descents, drops, and rocks. Much more forgiving than my xc hardtail. There's nothing like trying out different bikes to learn as you go.

I have a cross country hard tail bastardized with downhill tires, DH pedals and shortest and steepest stem I could find. Interesting option if you mostly want to go cross country all year (including winter), but you have sometimes crazy ideas like going downhill on the mud just for the fun of it. It's not the fastest bike on trails and not the most comfortable one, but it can handle more than you think. Tiresome, slightly painful, but fun!

I have ridden my gt xc hardtail bike at downhill parks and local trails it works great but you have to muscle it and don't recommend anything higher than a blue trail. I have rented enduros at parks and am comfortable doing advanced trails. I think if you are casually riding local and occasionally going to bike parks a trail bike would be perfect but if you do go to bike parks multiple times a year I would get an Enduro.

Trail bike all the way...easily the most versatile...smash on some DH tires, a short stem, and wider bars with more rise and your good to hit the rough techie stuff, but also not going to be hating the accents... For those hitting huge drops and jumps, you'll need the extra travel, but I reckon for most people in most trails, a trail bike has got you covered...too much emphasis on travel now a days...tire choice for me is a better upgrade. Nice vid by the way 👍

Question. I did bmx dirt jumping as a kid and just got into mountain biking. Unaware of the MTB universe I’ve fallen in love with the “free rider” style. Basically I wanna go fast and fly high haha. Anyway It’ll probably be about a year before I purchase my next bike, but I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on what type of bike to start looking at for this style? Thanks, I’ve been appreciating all the info from this channel.

Is the Enduro bike carbon too or only alloy? What should be your criteria that separates Trail and Enduro when you choose ? Can you go say 10 - 20 miles on an Enduro or would you regret not buying a Trail bike? I would buy ANY bike based 50 % health and 50% FUN- meaning I don't mind sweating, I don't do timing and I need to feel safe when I have fun.

I hate climbing and prefer to ride bikeparks so I got a singlespeed Downhillbike, but because I wanted to know how bad it is at climbing I did it once and well, it was a real pain in the ass. Even if you only ride it on a flat road you´re done after a few minutes.

I'm surprised that nobody points out XC tires need higher pressure for demanding trails (hence the flat). Vittoria's XC models (barzzo and mezzcal) are pretty soft without sidewall reinforcement, so they need extra 8-10 psi to withstand high speed rocky trails. Since it's a "time test" and this is not the first GMBN video with that theme, I'd expect a better preparation.

So if you threw lighter components on a DH bike, (ie. lighter wheel set, shorter travel front air suspension, carbon cranks) would that make it an enduro bike ? 🤔 or somewhat of a trail bike hybrid?

In regards to the downhill bike, I'm surprised to hear him saying you want your weight tipped back on the rear of the bike. I thought that that was a classic riding style - whereas the modern riding style is to sit either center or forward. Then again, maybe the geometry and seat position of the downhill bike say otherwise...?

I might ask a question about which bike is more fun to ride. Not comparing how fast and how capable are, but how much fun you can get from it. I have 14 yrs old hardtail and it's just fine and fun. A bit too heavy, because I tried some nice HT, also full sus like tuned 900 scott spark and genius and sure they are way better. But at the end I figured out, if you have at least mtb bike, just ride it and enjoy. No need to buy a 2, 3 or 4k bike to have fun at all. I bought mine for 250€. It has 26 inch wheels, crapy sr suntour forks and v brakes. Full dose of adrenalin going down the hill with this rig tho. :P
