Contrasting this with 10 to 15 years prior is so stark. Not to complain too much, but the influence that xc racing had on the design of MTBs was overall very negative IMO. The narrow bars and pitched forward position especially. I started riding MTBs as a kid, around 1992, and loved it, but once I was fully grown to quite tall, the riding position was just horrible and the rear axle to saddle horizontal distance so short that I wheelied up every steepish incline.
