GMBN Does XC on Trail Bikes! | Can you race Cross-Country on a Trail Bike?

The trail bike is known as being the ultimate all-round mountain bike - happy to go up, down, and across any trail you might find. Its well-rounded skillset mean that it's a popular choice for many riders who have to choose one bike for all their needs. Anna and Isaac wanted to see just how capable a trail bike can be, so signed up for a Stroud Summer Series XC race to see how they'd handle it!
