Sometimes a little too much confidence inspiring, you make my day Bernard 😅

I remember reading MBUk magazine years back and there was an article on DH bikes. Back then they reckoned that 4"/100mm travel was perfect for most UK DH tracks! Now we have 170+mm enduro bikes that would laugh in the face of a lot of the older DH tracks.

Hi Crux Academy, Do you have any recommendations for mtb coaching in whistler? Specifically downhill coaching on an enduro bike?

[@adrian_veidt]

I love old-school downhill bikes. 👌👌 We don't have bike parks here. Only natural trails so an old school DH bike is enough.

As a proud owner of a 2014 glory still rocking 26s realistically Unless your doing dark fest rampage or world cups hardline you really don’t need a DH bike anymore a 170 Front and rear Enduro bike will do the job

I mean when I race dh I rather have a dh bike

No doubt about it ... I'm in the US (Northeast) and ride Highland, Killington, Thunder and Creek pretty much every weekend. Not a single trail my enduro (2021 Pivot Mach 6) can't handle. Plus I prefer a lighter bike I can throw around a bit more, and there's really only a handful of trails (mostly pro lines or double black) where I'd benefit using a DH ... Plus I can throw on a coil shock and 40mm bars which makes a huge difference, and with bikes as expensive as they are, most people, myself included can't afford 2 bikes so if you can only choose one, enduro is definitely the way to go IMO.
