I wonder what climbing is like with that.... My next bike will probably be a 6 inch travel bike. Looking at the Specialized Enduro and others in that category. I also just recently bought a GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition so I'm looking forward to making some sweet videos. I was able to mess around with it a little bit in the snow on the Jeep and it's impressive.

My wifes mukluk with 3.8" wide tires (a few posts up) climbs like an f'ing mountain goat. Granted I can definitely feel it on some of the longer climbs, with the added traction I hammer up some steep climbs faster than i could dream about on my other bike which is a nicely built sub 25lb 29er 1x9.
*I also only ride 10-15 miles at a time. Any longer than that and I can see the added friction/inertia starting to take it's toll. I've heard of guys racing these bikes solely for the purpose of staying away from Class I races and still being at the top of Class II.... slows them down juuuuust enough, and fun!
