Yeah the stumpy is a better climber, but you said "do it all bike." I consider the Enduro a better all-around bike than the stumpy. The stumpy doesn’t have quite enough travel or aggressive components/geometry to really get into DH riding.
If you’re looking for more aggressive XC, then you should probably look at the "Trail" category of bikes, approx. 5 in. of travel.
True, true. I suppose the bike I’m looking for isn’t really a "do-it-all." I would love to go that route, but I’ll be doing around 90% XC. For the other 10% (DH), I guess I’ll demo a bike.
