#!markdown I run a sram x0 with 11-36 cassette and a 36 tooth front ring on my 160mm travel all mountain bike, I have no issue with climbs and find that it suits me well. If you need significantly lower than that you should work on cardio and leg strength. I think that no one will really need a much lower gear than 28-36.
