And we have now bigger tooth cassettes to haul these heavier bikes uphill, with the inherent gear ratios being overall lower, hence less speed up the hill !!
There is an interesting project doing the rounds of a guy on a Pivot 29 er DH made “enduro “ friendly, single crown, dropper etc, which bar the steeper seat angle on the Geometron, ends up probably not too dissimilar. Be an interesting comparison coming from the two starting points, DH frame v Enduro Frame.
