Owns a 2026 Switchblade with mechanical shifting and rides it for XC and local downhill bike parks. Absolutely loves it and would keep it as their only bike; it doesn't eat rocks like a downhill bike but is good in technical terrain and climbs well.
“Absolutely love it, if I had to only have one bike this would be it. It doesn’t eat rocks like a full downhill bike, but it’s been good in technical stuff and it climbs well.”
