Hi guys and girls.I've been riding MTB's for a couple of years,cross country style but last year got a bit bored with all so was about to give up but then bought a Cube action team enduro e bike.
Now before all the haters start i love this bike,it's awesome.I'm looking to do some e bike enduro events this year but the one part of my riding i'm still not 100% with is jumping.I think what's holding me back on my bike is that in my mind it's cost me alot of money and i don't want to wreck it trying to launch it across some doubles.
So i'm looking at buying a cheap 2nd hand bike to pratice on.The quandry i have is to i buy a downhill bike or an enduro bike ?
The downhill bike will be closer to the weight of my e bike and i'm not bothered that it will be a pig trying to do climbs and normal riding as i've got the e bike.I'm 6ft 2 so would need a large frame and they seem to be like gold dust,where as there's loads of enduro bikes.
What are people's views on what bike would be better ?

Get something with similar geo to your ebike.
