    I agree with Michel. Trekking pole tents are great for hiking, if you already have your hiking poles. A free standing or semi free standing is better for biking.

    That being said, I use my Durston xmid for both bikepacking and hiking. I have had issues with pitching in spots with very little top soil, but I made it work by gathering some rocks to hold the guy lines.

    Any kind of tent will work, but free standing is just easier.
