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

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!
