My all around bike was a Crosstrail for a few years, and I loved it. It was the base model with hybrid tires - smooth in the middle and knobby on the outside. I eventually converted it into a 29er and got a Jamis Coda Comp for the road. Similar geometry but steel frame without a front suspension. The steel frame Coda absorbs shock better than the rigid aluminium frame Crosstrail, even without front suspension. We have some pretty rough streets here.
