Hey, i have recently got back into mountainbiking and i was wondering what style of riding is most suitable for my bike. More specifically, would a hardtail with a 120mm travel front fork, sram x4/x3 hardware and knobby tyres be suitable for all-mountain riding? I am curious as i have some experience trail riding and i am interested in riding more on the all-mountain side of things. Any advice is much appreciated.

you should do whatever you find fun IMO. No-one is seriously going to say you cant - it's not all about the bike. Give it a go, it sounds ok for a start up bike - much the same as my previous bike which I did all mountain/xc stuff on
Just ride what you want to ride. It's only the wrong bike if it breaks.
Go for it.
I think I'm behind on the marketingspeak, aren't AM and 'trail' the same thing?
^^ yes
In which case OP, as they say above, you're good, just go ride your bike.

Apologies if you're serious. 🙂
What do you mean by all-mountain? Your bike will be fine for almost any riding apart from really silly stuff.

I think the marketing execs and mag writers would say no. Who cares tho.
