We get a tonne of questions about how hard you can push a slopestyle bike. They're built for smoother trails and big jumps; basically, they're not necessarily ideal for rocky, rooty downhill trails.
What do you think? Would you ride a slopestyle bike on a downhill trail? Let us know your thoughts in the comments and don't forget to LIKE and SHARE this one, too.
