I was riding local trails on my Cross Check. Moved to the Sierra Nevada foothills. Trails much steeper, looser. Brakes and traction felt kinda sketchy. Picked up an older Specilized Enduro Pro. Way over kill for my riding. But, as a concession to my 69 yrs and post covid condition, I'll happily take all the help I can get. Never had too much brakes or traction! Think I'll feel more in control with it.
