It's a lightweight XC race bike. No big jumps, no big drops, going fast uphill and down. Longer rides. Out of saddle sprints, climbs.
Basically what 90% of riders ride. When I mean no big drops I'm talking drops less than 2'. Jumps would be the occasional whoop-de-do and small dirt mound where you get a little air.
Roots, Yeah, absolutely, that's what the 2" of travel helps with.
