Having read any number of threads on this general subject and as it relates to Indiana, I tend to think that opinions vary quite a bit as to what kind of bike is preferred for a given area. If your trails are anything like the trails in Indiana, FS has it's advantages, and I see plenty of them on our trails. Bike preference also depends on the rider, too, and not just the trails.
