That's such a weird build, triple ring, long stem and air shock, that's all good but why put a dual crown on? It doesn't make sense.
Well it's got a full Saint M800 build, so it's probably some company's [lame] attempt at building a "freeride" bike.
Actually, I'm thinking it's more of a All Mountain build...that looks like a Sherman Slider with 170mm of travel so technically it's has reached the peak of an All Mountain build.
All mountain rarely utilizes a dual crown fork though, and 170mm is too much travel for a true all mountain ride. I'd say 150mm of travel at most. I don't know if you're old enough to remember, but a lot of companies (read: Diamondback, Haro) tried releasing "freeride" bikes by adding dual crown forks and enormous rotors to scaled-down DH frames in an effort to grab a piece of a budding market.
Ehh...whatever lol, look at Iggz's Nomad...AM bike turned into DH, and plenty 06-07 Enduro's out there with a dual crown fork.
Not a lot of Enduros with dual crown forks. SX Trails, yes. I pretty much sum up the different disciplines/travel amounts like this: 3-4" = XC (or 4X), 4.5-6" = enduro/all mountain, 6.5-7" = freeride, 7.5-10" = DH, 10.5-14" = stupid.
I mean people will do whatever kind of riding they want on whatever kind of bike they have if they so choose, these are just my generalizations about amount of travel and intended use.
