You can clean everything there on a hard tail, BUT, you'll only do it faster if you're a great rider. I'd say it depends more on your riding ability. If you're confident and comfortable on the Reign, I'd use it.

Probably the Reign. I say bring 'em both and see for yourself.

you may come across a section or two worthy of a dh bike. Mostly it's about keeping your momentum and flow. If you need the condfidence of 8" (like most of us) then go with it. If your butter smooth and skip like a fairy then go small bike and pedal like a bat out of hell for the win.

FYI, mos,t not all, of the top guys run smaller travel bikes.
