Must admit I’ve been in the camp for a do it aller. Currently have two bikes in the fold, my YT Tues and my Cotic BFe. The Tues handles DH days and the BFe does anything else.
I’ve been thinking of getting an Enduro 29 for the everything factor, but then I think about how monster trucky and floaty the DH bike is. With 29er wheels and 160mm travel I don’t believe it’ll feel any less plush…
Essentially all I can think of is get yourself a demo day at a local spot and see how it goes on a few different bikes. I want something more capable than my BFe but the lesser travel bikes they’re churning out at the moment look way too flimsy for what I want it for!
