Hardtails and Skills: Why You Need a Less Capable Bike! Underbiking vs Overbiking [RNL Quick Rip]

from Ride and Laugh MTB Podcast · host Dan & Sage

From hardtails to rigid single speeds, underbiking forces you to ride more dynamically, improve line choice, work different muscles and build serious MTB skills. Underbiking is a fun, budget-friendly way to turn familiar trails into fresh challenges.  The guys also debate 'overbiking,' ideal bike setups, argue about gravel bikes (spoiler: Dan is not a fan), and agree that mixing it up keeps things interesting. Bottom line? When you conquer difficult trails on a less capable bike, you realize it's not just the bike — it's the rider!  Let's go!  Links: Pivot Cycles - https://www.instagram.com/pivotcycles Carver Bikes - https://www.instagram.com/carverbikes The video version of this episode is also available on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/1LDWmuJPuEs The Ride and Laugh MTB podcast is hosted by Dan @the_ride_abides and Sage @TrailSage.  Join us as we discuss all things mountain biking!  Riding technique, MTB gear, bikes, nutrition, fitness, mindset and more!
