For more moderate trails and messing around on the street...
130mm 27.5 bike like the SC 5010 vs Aggressive Hardtail
Fs all the way! As fun as ht’s are, I’ve been liking messing around on an fs bike more, and more.
Travel: 9in rear, 2in front Vs. 0in rear, 9in front
lol, I'd take the DH Hardtail, I feel like that could still pedal uphill if needed. 9in rear 2in front would be very odd and probably send me over the bars.
