A bike that gives its best on pedaling, whether it is dirt or, why not, transitions on asphalt. Its geometry is a true thoroughbred, even if it does not excel in the more technical downhill sections, where more relaxed geometries would allow an easier and more immediate ride (but then it would be lost in terms of performance on the pedal). A no-frills bike for those who love to ride long hikes or compete without too much ambition for ranking. For higher competitive performance, however, it would be sufficient to focus on lighter, obviously more expensive, but still quite competitive in terms of price compared to the main competitors.
