Trail Bikes
Trail riders have a more aggressive attitude to the trail than XC riders. They may do some of the same things as cross country riders but look for larger features and obstacles. A trail rider doesn‘t mind a long climb as long as the downhill is exciting with jumps, drops, rock gardens and berms.
Trail riders often ride a wide range of trail types but always keep an eye out for black run trails. They enjoy fast and flowing and more technically challenging riding. A group of trail riders are more likely to compare downhill times on Strava and who had the guts to go over a big drop. They aren‘t generally concerned with uphill speed. Getting to the top of the hill is merely payment for the fun of the down.
Trail bikes normally have slightly wider tyres than XC bikes with a more aggressive tread pattern and a slacker head angle allowing for more stability and less chance of going over the handle bars.
