^^^ so when is one of these bikes actually better than a regular HT with 2.3 tyres ? Genuine question.
Sometimes better, sometimes slower, but always more fun. always more forgiving, and much more comfortable.

If you go front suspension then the options open up enormously.you can then always add some rigids later if you feel like it.

Loads of b+ info on this thread

For me, I don't seem to be any slower on b+ even on non-technical trails or climbs and it's really good fun rigid on pretty much everything.
Logically it must be a bit slower but I think I'd only worry about it if I was xc racing and given I don't do that...
Add from suspension and it's just scary...
