Having spent the last 38 years (jeeze, has it really that long?) Hauling deer out of the hills on 2 wheelers (including deer in saleable condition) I can confidently confirm that there's no 2 wheeler MTBs out there (not even considering motive power) that come close to the frame strength, handlebar strength, braking power and suspension travel of an ICE powered dirt bike. I have hit hidden holes in the tussock so hard that I have 'stoppied' with an 80kg stag across the fuel tank/handlebars with me 100kgs on board. That's gonna do some damage to any light weight MTB's.
If you want to be quiet on a bike, just travel slowly.![]()
