hahaha...racing no. Trail riding, sure. I know a few p2 riders for 'xc'. 4 to 6 hour rides, you just end up standing a bit more.

You COULD do it, but it will not be the most comfortable or efficient. Let's out it this way, it is no race bike, but you could do worse.

I use mine for XC and technical trail stuff.
Its sort of heavy and will jiggle the fillings out your teeth on long down hills
but who cares
The short, compact frame is what I wanted so Ive gotten used to it.I have Revell tall bars and a Da Bomb Dirt jump fork coming on monday to
round out the torturesome nature of it
