After I bought my Fezzari La Sal Peak I thought I'd probably return it beacause it would be overkill for me. I don't race and I don' t ride really gnarly trails. But I was really really surprised at how good it is climbing, navigating techy terrain and fun on mellow smooth trails. Pedaling power transfer feels almost immediate, much better than my previous trail bike. The suspension platform works great. It tracks terrain really well and handles every kind of terrain well. It climbs better and is faster than my previous trail bike. It's just a lot of fun, so versatile and such good value. The Loam Wolf did a good review on this bike and they pretty much confirmed my feelings about the La Sal Peak. Here's a link to that review - ruclips.net/video/rPGU7pfVTVg/видео.html
If I was riding those trails I would prefer a delano, that bike looks too overkill

I would go for the la Sal , I can always ride my hardtail if the terrain is better suited.
