The one thing I’d say is that the newer-geo short travel bikes can haul such that they can get you into a lot of travel but lack the tires/brakes/suspension that a lot of us rely on to boost our skills when it comes to getting out. Admittedly I generally do pedal-and-plunge riding with this sort of bike too.
