 Dry, but any ounce of water would make the technical climbing really tough (read tougher).

        This should be a double black, it can be difficult to even HIKE ur bike in most spots..forget riding it. And I haven't ridden it downhill but I can just imagine how terrifying that would be.

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
