    Having both the D and the T, I used my same wheel and tire combo on both , and the T climbs equally well as the D but it was better everywhere else. The stock wheel and tire combo is heavy on the T. There is no place I consider the D a better option, regardless of where you ride. Again, owning both.😊

      Are you running equal lap times? I own both but I'm way faster on my down country but the weight difference is huge between the two and I have race tires on the down and grips on my trail.

    I have a d7 because it is the right bike for where I ride-Bonelli SoCal. I am 71 and most of the time I ride it locked out just to up the downhill challenge a bit, but make the climbs easier. I also added a smaller sprocket.

      @@danielwu7238 it's a joke about the ever increasing amount of categories of mountain bikes. It's a down country trail enduro xc bike, it does everything lol.

    Well, I bought the D7, apart from the fact that where I live, I will climb uphill more often on a daily basis, but also because of the color 😅

    I’ve got a d6 that I’m pretty happy with. Wish I had money to upgrade the fork.. and will soon change out the cassette or ring gear to help with climbs.

    Where I live, we do more xc.(Curacao, Caribbean) But there are some sketchy descents and some climbs. I don't know which to go for 😢

      Sketchy descents would probably be better managed by a Siskiu T, but everything else sounds like a Siskiu D would be just fine!

    I’m not sure it’s as simple as travel. Ibis Ripley has 120 travel and it is more trail oriented than xc.
