Yeah, I don't own a downhill bike, I live in North Vancouver and I like to take my bike to the park at least a couple times a year and my legs are not so springy anymore so I'm definitely in the category that these bikes (the SB165, Spec Enduro, Slayer etc.) are aimed at. I can totally see where these would be too much bike for a lot of terrain and a lot of peoples riding preferences but for my 'single, do it all bike' these check all the boxes, especially now that they don't actually peddle uphill that bad.
I'm still not a good enough rider that I ever end a downhill run on my local terrain wishing I had less bike.
