in what way does a WRR (or DRZ or whatever) work better than an EXC at slow to moderate pace?
honestly, i don't get what anyone means when they say that. having ridden all these bikes at various paces in various types of terrain, i just don't understand how anyone can say that a heavier, less well balanced, worse suspended bike can work better anywhere.

Maybe they mean that a DS bike going slow works better than a DS bike going (trying to go) fast, and a race bike going fast works better than a race bike going (reluctantly) slow
Or that a race bike blows a DS out of the water less at slow speeds than it does at high speeds?
I mean, there has to be something other than price that justifies a heavier bike with worse suspension, right?
