There are lots of things to consider when choosing a bike, the main one being geometry. Most MTBs will have discipline-specific geometry, a mountain bike that is long and slack won't be used in cross country and a bike which is steep and nimble won't be used in downhill. Blake Samson sets out to see if geometry is everything by racing his Hardcore Hardtail, an MTB with only front suspension but geometry that is similar to an Enduro bike against his XC race machine on a short downhill track.
