The best bike for all around freeriding is the STD. But I would chose something lighter for more realistic all round riding like the GSpot. Both bikes are from COVE and both bikes are excellent. The GSpot has been around since 1999 and is still going strong.
Actually, the std pedals better than the gspot and the difference in weight is minimal. How would I know, well I have both bikes sitting in my garage….
Rumor has it that 2 new cove bikes are also on the way, a 5" and 6" version of the STD…
