There are generally easy trails in my area, with exception of few technical sections every once a while..with rails I feel more comfortable out there, less vulnerable.

They are Rocky Road Rockrails, I had them LineX coated for protection from rocks being thrown up from the tires and give them some grip as steps.

Really stout built, I had to tweak one of the mounting legs with a mallet but other than that, get help or use jack stands to help hold them in place while you put the bolts on. Less than an hour job.
