I like hardtails.
Donèt get me wrong, I would love a nice full suspension trail bike but they are pricey.
I had the chance to buy said trail bike when I got a small inheritance but chose a ti 29er Ht for a number of reasons really.
Maybe because I grewup with mtbing in the 90s when HT was all there was,I don't see them as being incapable,rrather I see them as being the ultimtae mtb because mtbing back then was not about specialzed types of riding we have now but a bike that really did everything and that is how I still see mtbing and that is where I see hardtails being the best.
Granted, my bike will never be the best at any one thing but its damn goos at many which appeals to me. It is a one bike solution for many who simply cannot afford the much praised quiver.
My bike is ridden most often on streets simply because I live in an urban area with no car and must ride to my destination such as the enarest trails an hours ride away where a full suspension would not be great.
I can also easily slap on some slicks for non trail rides or, should I want to, perhaps a tour which I can do either with my BOB Yak or bike bags should I purchase them. With many of todays bikes the Yak may not fit.
I like to have my camp gear in my Yak and ride a local Rail Trail into the woods ,camp and remove the trailer for trail riding.
Finally, I can use my bike for actual mtbing. Maybe I am old but IMO real MTBing means going both up and down and its nice going up with relative ease on a lighter weight HT. I may not be able to ride the same terrain as a FS but most of it I will and bottom line is I will have just as much fun. -
hey scott, whats your opinion of the gt xcr 5 ??

She raced this season in the USA ! She was bad ass until a run-in with the law then she was kind of state ridden had to stay within the state wasn't loud to leave so she can travel and do awesome mountain biking stuff and so now she's times up so she's allowed to do her own thing again so she's like getting back into the circuit it's pretty badass
