What am I actually sitting on here? Is this an enduro bike suitable for freeriding or a freerider suitable for touring? A super enduro perhaps, or rather an all-mountain bike with drop reserves? I've lost my bearings in the jungle of ever new bike categories. Progress is one of those things. Every year, fork manufacturers bring new models onto the market that are more robust, longer travel, lighter and more variable than their predecessors. The bike manufacturers develop bikes that match the forks and, poof, a new category is born. Or is it the other way round? In any case, there is yet another new group of bikes that are supposed to be able to do everything. But nobody knows exactly what they are called. Freeriders perhaps?
