HOW TO CHOOSE A TRAIL CATEGORY MOUNTAIN BIKE – ANALYSIS FOR INTERMEDIATES

We spent 2 1/2 years researching and riding demo bikes after we attended the 2013 Fruita Fat Tire Festival in Colorado. We had no idea what a bike festival was about but soon discovered that we were riding waaaay better bikes than our decade old Cannondale cross-country (XC) bikes. We were able to ride farther and at a higher skill level than we ever imagined. But why?

This video shares my research and experience with trail mountain bikes, a category of bike between cross-country and all mountain. I hope it saves you a lot of time and expense. I get into some details but try to focus only on what really matters for intermediates.

See my blog at https://jimprestonmtb.com for information on specific bikes and my trail analysis for intermediates videos.
