    My buddy had one of those. You don't need much more than that I'd you're just trail riding. The problem with mine is that it's 48lbs since it's built for downhill

    My bike weighs less than 20 lb since I chopped it up a bit. The new technology in mt bikes makes that bike a POS.... brakes, gears,,,, etc now adays are so much better. The only thing that they cant do is make the bike as light as the old school bikes since all those components weight much more than the old stuff.

    Haha no. Not downhill. Santos in Ocala has a ton of drop offs ranging from 3 to 20ft along with a freeride park and pump track. I usually roll to new Hampshire or Maine for dh since I have family there
