How gnarly trails do you think I can ride on this bike. It has 140mm travel. Can I put a bigger fork on it. Can I do light downhill? Can I do enduro on it. Will it take big hits. Advice will be much appreciated. BTW specs can be found here: http://www.norco.com/bikes/mountain/all-mountain/sight-alu/sight-a-71/

Call Norco and ask whats the biggest fork they recommend putting on that frame. It will change your geometry and will make the steering weird if you go to big. The front wheel will kinda flop side to side, I don't know how to really explain it. Yeah I rode my trailbike @ Snowshoe, It could do it but it was def more sketchy than a full on dh frame. I think that's an enduro bike isn't it. I really don't understand what an enduro bike is I always thought that they were AM bikes. I dont know the difference between AM and enduro or even if there is a difference. As far as drops Im hesitant to hit anything more than 6ft on my 150mm frame. I have a DH bike if I need to go bigger. I just don't wanna beat the hell out of it.
