For me my idea of ALL MOUNTAIN is a 6inch PLUS travel bike front and rear...........let see yours ! (only 6 inch plus need apply :)
Funny. So just under 6" is not AM? Last time I checked that is about 152mm, and if I'm not mistaken, neither end of your bike has that much travel

Close thread. The same bikes will just show up in the AM thread. A mini DH bike thread I could dig, but this is silly. Most people look at AM as over 5" to me it's just a built tough bike, with fast confidence inspiring geo.

Ouch poor OP ;P

Here is mine,



Sorry only 150mm on the front :( but 160mm rear :)

I am still struggling to work out where AM stops and Trail starts. I think I ride trail, but that involves riding the local DH tracks etc after pedalling to the top of the hill.

Chains of the bottom roller on the guide. Nice bike.
What's the difference between "All MTN" and "Trail"? I like the term "Trail" better, but then people think your talking moto when you say trail bike. "Enduro"s a good name, but only OS as we seem to call epic XC Enduro here. Maybe it should be called "Just Ride".
Is it determined more by tire diameter than bikes travel?

The Enduro thing is quite annoying. Having to call our events Gravity Enduro's. Tyre size may not work either now with the latest bunch of big bag light weight tyres making the bike good at DH but fine to climb as well.
