If you're allowed to have only ONE bike? which one would you choose and why In the kind of riding that I do in Pinas and allowed only to have one bike, I will choose an XC Full Suspension bike with a maximum of 4-inch Front and Rear travel only. I ride road, fire road and trail. The XC FS design is still light enough for climbing and pedalling but is still plush enough for light All-Mountain/Aggressive XC. The XC FS design is like the cross between the hardtail and the 5-6 inch trail bike.

If I'm going to leave one bike for me, I will choose my Yeti 575... With this bike, considering the travel of 5.75inches of travel, it's lighter compare with other brand of AM bike... and I already have all the style of riding...

i have an aluminum rigid, a hardtail and an am fs. im willing to give up the rigid and the ht because i ride xc most of the time anyway.
i sold my steel rigid 2 years ago, which i regretted ever since

i would also love to have an FS XC/AM bike - 5" travel as my all around bike lately - i'm getting really all sorts of body and butt pains with my reliable HT bike - but i guess - it has something to do with my age also ;D ;D hopefully this year - an FS bike for me ;D

The same... that's why i'm keeping and setup my anthem for xc-aggressive since i'm very lightweight also (physically). I already let go of my HT and just keeping 1 bike.

I change my Mind, Since everyone is talking about hard tail bike...
I will choose my hummer bike as my one and only bike instead of 575. When the trails is getting tough, Just stand and deliver .... ;D ;D ;D
