The bike industry creates riding niches to create more bikes to convince us that we must ride a particular bike on a type of trail. It is getting silly. Five inch travel fullys with slightly different builds are meant for totally different riding? Sure. I also find a good proportion of MTB riders can be quite superficial and get totally hung up on parts and bikes. This is nothing new and I was one of those riders a decade or so ago, but the fragmentation of the industry is driving this to ridiculous levels. Being in the industry and dealing with this, when I am drifting further and further from it is difficult. I am weary of spending evenings talking to someone about which stem is better when all I want to do is scream "it makes no difference, you'll still ride the same trails in the same way with the same enjoyment with either of them, stop making it such a big thing".
