Im glad to know the bike is plenty capable. And if you made a poor decision (or total mistake). And found yourself in that terrain, you could ride the bike through it.

But doesnt seem like much fun to do that on purpose to yourself. Id imagine the risk of hurting yourself when crashing has to go up quite a bit too

Yeah, I feel the same way. 500enduro is about as big as I would want on that stuff. That is some legit ST and some tough sections. T7 is tall too! What gets me is riding a big bike like that in super technical stuff with a manual clutch-BRUTAL! And 450 lbs is still 450 lbs no matter how good the bike is.
