Each to their own, but surely it's about getting out and enjoying a day's trailing ? Twin shocks etc compete in their own classes, as I'm sure you know,so whether their brakes / suspension / mapping is better or worse isn't a factor.

Plenty of young riders in the north east and Highland 2 day. And as an aside, can't be much of a weight difference between good twin shock and a 4RT.
