I find that most bikes I see are over-engineered for the trails/roads they're used on. Bibili ng mga long travel AM/Enduro bike tapos Timberland or La Mesa lang naman ang rides. Or worse, ikot ikot lang sa UP or MoA.
Yung iba parang pang status symbol lang. They get the most expensive bike that they can afford but rarely do they get to make the most out of their bikes. But they do seem to have a lot of fb posts about their rides.
I guess it's the same deal with people buying SUV's to look rich/pogi.
