![These bicycles are a development from cross country and are generally used by recreational cyclists. They typically have 120–140 mm (5) of travel, weigh 11 to 15 kilograms (24 to 33 lb), with geometry situated somewhere between cross country and All-Mountain designs. Having a slacker head angle (66-68°) provides greater stability while descending. With less of an emphasis on weight, typically they are designed to handle rougher terrain.]()
