[Closed] Forget Enduro, I want a lightweight XC bike

As I get *ahem* a bit older I've realised I'm not as bold a rider as I want to be or used to be, nor do I ride stuff that is as big or technical as my ego wants it to be. I also realise time is precious and it would be good to get more miles done, quicker.

So, I want to move quicker on terrain that isn't *that* technical. In the meantime XC courses (and hence bikes) are getting more technical. Ergo, shouldn't I be riding an XC bike?
