For too long, WC xc race courses were horribly boring. I watched a bunch of them live in quite a few different countries so I have a good idea. Xc on the shore is hard for people to comprehend unless they've ridden here. When writing for our audience we like to use the lens of being in the shore but appeal to a wider geographic audience. It's a tough balance. But nsmb has always been more focused on trail riding and up.
95% of the trails I ride on the shore would have already destroyed many parts of this bike even at 50% of my usual (unimpressive) speed. Or the tires would have landed me in hospital.
