GO RIDE - X.C. (CROSS COUNTRY)

X.C. - CROSS COUNTRY riding is the traditional brand of mountain biking. A typical ride would involve some good honest climbs of medium technicality but probably over sustained periods. The more undulating terrain should include some snaking singletrack sections and the downhills will be of medium to high technicality and ridden with both wheels staying pretty much on the ground.

Hard tail mountain bikes are perfect for this style of riding but you will find full suspension X.C. bikes with up to 4" of travel. Enduro bikes currently provide up to 6" of travel and are marketed as 'All Mountain' bikes. Enduro bikes are therefore suitable for X.C. riding although they will be heavier than specific X.C. bikes as they are designed to handle more demanding downhill sections.
