More trail causes a bike to be more difficult to ride with no hands. When you lean a bike with longer trail, the trail causes the front wheel to steer into the lean. There are plenty of scientific explanations of trail on the internet, so I won't attempt to explain it further.

My road bike with 60mm of trail is easy to ride with no hands. My MTB with close to 100mm of trail is near impossible to ride with no hands.
