Thing is, you could race the Divide on a whole load of different bikes and people do. A bike for riding US forestry and county roads and some basic byway type terrain at a good pace is easy to get mostly right. A bike that also handles tech stuff well in a way that makes it fun and involving like a good (even rigid) MTB should be, not so easy.

Good luck finding two people who agree on what 'tech stuff' is though ;-)
My own opinion of tech would probably alter, depending on what bike I had to use

Easy or not, I've understood things like TD are what it's designed for, rather than the tech stuff? A lot like Cutthroat. But yeah not like it's the one bike to rule them all, to replace a mountainbike on the trails.

That funny little mudguard and the whole bike looks better with some gear on and it seems to do what it's meant to pretty well.
