One truth is though, that due to production numbers, a hardtail with a basic but rideable suspension fork and multi speed drivetrain with a clutch costs less than a rigid single speed with the same (good) geometry and rideable tires.
That could change if a big brand got on board.
Certainly hiking / walking would also be my transportation through the woods if I couldn’t afford my bare minimum mountain bicycle.
