I currently have a full suspension mountain bike and am looking as getting a hard tail. My question is which frame would best be suited for my riding style. I live in the Denver area and frequent the trails up in the mountains. The riding is mostly real rocky with some smooth sections. I want a lighter bike for climbing but also want the suppleness of a Ti frame for down hill sections which I love to blast down.

I also want a bike that is more tossable than my full suspension. I love the fs but want a bike that I can maneuver/direct a more than my fs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
