I've been thinking about going full-suspension for a while. Looking at a lot of bikes....Yeti ASR, Trek Fuel, Titus Racer-X, Ellsworth Truth, and so on.
Problem is, I climb a lot. Living on the front range of CO, there are two types of riding: Up and Down. There really aren't any X-country rides around here. Most rides are 1000-2500ft climbs followed by a loop at the top and then a big downhill. Which, by the way is very fun.
I'm currently on a 2000 Litespeed Tsali softtail. It's a nice combo of hardtail for climbing and suspension for XC and DH to help take the edge off. Recently though I've really been going hard and think it might be time to jump to a FS rig, but need one that climbs very well.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
