I've been a hardtail rider forever.
I love their razor sharp handling, light weight, and simplicity.
However, lately I've been thinking about getting something a little more comfy and faster on the downhills.
Enter, full suspension.
However, I really don't want the "lounge chair" feeling.
Maybe I want a softtail.
I don't want a heavy, complex, noodly rear end full suspension bike.
Are there any FS/soft tail designs that handle great, don't have tremendous maintenance requirements, are light weight, that will make me happy?
Be gentle as I've been resisting the dark side as long as possible.
But I guess it was inevitible.
