This week Doddy is talking about the newest mountain bike trend, the "Down Country" XC bike and questions if the industry and consumers are confusing them with the Trail Bike category?
Here at GMBN Tech we think a Downcountry bike is simply a high-end Cross Country bike with a little more travel and not to be confused with a Trail Bike, the 'Trail Bike' category is designed for more aggressive riding and the bikes will be naturally a little heavier due to the intended purpose.

What do you think about "Downcountry" do you think it's confusing, or people will think it will fall into the 'Trail' category? 🤔 Let us know what you think 👇
