Hey Rotorburn,
I have been planning on buying an XC/all mountain bike, however I am finding it hard to balance on the fine line between trail riding, climbing, and of course decent In the past I have done quite a bit of ameture DH, so my riding style is pretty rough which is not suited to many XC bikes. Thus I am also leaning towards the heavier bikes, but is this just force of habit?
Some pointing in the right direction would be most appreciated, these are a couple of the bikes I have been considering on the forums.
Thanks in advance.

Would it be able to climb very well?

I have read good reviews about this specialised, and it is in the ACT which is easy.
