What is a Downcountry Mountain Bike?

Response:
Downcountry mountain bikes first came onto the scene around 2020 as an intersection between hard tail XC bikes and longer travel downhill/enduro bikes. They are usually full suspension with front and rear shocks. However, shorter travel than an enduro bike but much more efficient at climbing. They appeal to the rider who likes to get out and explore on their bike whilst also enjoying trail riding. Expect to see suspension travel in the range 120-130mm.
