[Closed] Bikes to make mountain biking simple again

I don’t think either of my MTBs is simple - they both have lots of gears, hydraulic brakes, dropper posts and fancy forks. But I know I enjoy riding anything anywhere on them (up to the limit of my skills/bravery/fitness) so that makes riding simple. One is a super slack big forked hardtail, the other is an electric full-sus! Flat bridleway to DH track, they work. Road commutes too.

(Getting out early in the light would be nice but sadly the three children won’t look after themselves. But Exposure lights make night-riding simple).

Oh yeah there are no hard and fasts, but just making life easier makes riding easier.

Basically, avoid anything that stops you going out the door.
