![]() It wasn't super exciting but it wasn't boring either. The Cumberland trail network has quite a few relatively flat, meandering trails that I would qualify as cross country and the Fluid did OK on them. To be honest, the only situations where I was annoyed by the Fluid's heft were lifting the bike on my car's roof rack and carrying it up the stairs of my apartment building. Gravity's pull on the Fluid's 15.5 kg (34 lbs) weight was noticeable but not a real problem in practice. The initial weight balancing issue I had in some climbing situations was solved by the adjustments in fork setup and bar roll, as mentioned above. I never felt the need to firm up the rear shock using the climb switch. There is just enough anti-squat to give that encouraging feeling while pedalling but at the same time lots of traction is available and the Fluid motors up technical climbs.
