With most bikes being full suspension bikes, where are the trail hardtails now? Were they just a fad?

I'm going to open another can of worms. Bikes didn't get that much heavier, most of them are just their "final form". It's funny that Henry and Kaz label the Canyon Neuron as a downcountry bike, as it is a "light" or short travel trail bike. A couple years ago, it would've been considered a trail or all-mountain bike (still mad that this term is lost in history). An all-mountain bike wasn't that much heavier, if you consider the usage of a dropper and wider tires. The current all-mountain bikes, which are now known as heavy duty trail bikes, or short enduro bikes, around 160mm, are heavier than the predecessors, but they are currently used as earlier enduro bikes. This trend follows the time and all bikes except downhill bikes, are currently at least "one degree more capable", and 20mm more travel. I still have an 2017 scott spark which had 120mm of travel, then marketed as a trail bike, but it would now be considered as a cross country bike with 130mm forks. To put it into a "graph" Earlier (Usually front travel, lower end can be seen as rear, except XC hardtails) XC ; Marathon ; Trail ; All-mountain ; Enduro ; Park/Freeride ; Downhill 80-100 ; 100-120 ; 120-140 ; 140-160 ; 150-170 ; 170-180 ; 200+ Now: XC ; Downcountry ; Trail ; Enduro ; Super-Enduro/Park ; Downhill 100-120 ; 120-140 ; 130/140-160 ; 150-170 ; 180-190 ; 200+

I forgot to mention, your glutes, which straighten your hip, opening it up, are stretched when hunched over, so they produce less power as well.

Can anyone tell me the name of the song/beat at the beginning and end of the interview? Around 1:21:24. NOT the Italian Mafia song.

I created an account, just for commenting on the ALL-MIGHTY SEMICOLON! It's used correctly. Another fun-fact about Dario's semicolon tattoo, or semicolon tattoos in general, they are often signs of post-depression or post-suicidal tendencies. It's used as "I wanted and could've ended the sentence/my story; I decided to keep going". Not to dig too deep into the past, but I consider it quite important to know about this possible meaning.
