VIDEO: Downcountry vs Enduro Bike

For Happy Face Project Laps 14 & 15, I tried something a little different. I rode the trail back to back on my 2016 Transition Smuggler which, at 115/130 suspension, is more of a downcountry bike, then rode it on my Ibis Ripmo (160/147) and compared the two.

Happy Face is a pretty mellow smooth trail that doesn't NEED that much suspension, so which did I prefer?
