Dude that article is 4 years out of date

The difference is far more blurred these days with plenty 140/150mm travel "trail" bikes slack, long and capable enough to be raced at EWS level.

Generally the main difference now is weight/travel. but even then you'll find shorter travel trail bikes with dual ply tyres, big discs and components more suited to the descents and the odd long travel enduro bike built with lighter components.

TBH why categorise anyway?

ride what ya got. well ;)
