@spencer_mtb ah yes, shimanos lightest drivetrain components , srams lightest 4 piston brakes, a build under 26 pounds, a shock without a piggyback, and less than 140mm travel front and rear are for "trail or enduro"
@musty I wouldn’t recommend upgrading from a cheap mtb like a carreara strait to a full 160 mil santa cruz id just recommend upgrading to a nice hardtale to learn proper technique then upgrade to a nicer full sus than just hide riding mistakes with suspension
