I go to a trial for the fun not to chase points or the admiration of others. I look at each section and if I feel it's beyond me I don't ride it. It's not a world championship it's a Sunday meet. Not everyone likes the same thing and what works for one may not work for another.
A Fantic may be a better bike than the Mar but so is a 2015 Gas Gas, it's all relevant. I like the Mar, for me it works and surely that's all that matters
