SCOTT claim to have created exactly this, lauding the SCOTT Contessa Spark Plus as able to excel at pedalling efficiency as well as sublime descending.

Scott’s remarkably sorted, trail happy but race-rapid Spark is the best of both worlds. Buy if you want a fast and fun bike for the trails
Superbly executed blend of super-confident and playful trail bike
Push-button race bike efficiency and speed
Occasionally clunky 34 Performance fork holds it back from full flat-out potential
