@bmxdougherty: If it was 180mm the bike industry wouldn't call it an xc bike. it would be called an Enduro bike lol

Aaron Gwin Meets the YT Jeffsy 27 - Video
I would like to ask Gwin how the YT compares to a Stumpjumper.
By the way, on the size doesn't matter thing, it SO matters. 29ers for XC guys and trail guys who ride hardtails or want optimum efficiency. 27.5 for the Enduro/DH/trail speed freaks. I would be in the latter category. And I'm 6'4 ft tall. 27.5 forever!

Richie Rude KOM Challenge in Squamish - Video
Watching him ride that trail is like watching a painter, or a ballerina, or a poet. Just pure "energy in motion".
I would love to follow this guy down a trail.

2016 Pinkbike Awards - Mountain Bike of the Year Winner
oh, and suspension adjustments make a huge difference on how the bike rides. Again, a professional will be able to correctly set the suspension for the section/course/whatever. Your buddy's suspension may not be dialed in right, which would definitely make the bike's performance suffer.

@Cefn: So basically you're saying your skill level with rock gardens is higher than your friends? You can never find a bike's true performance level[how much it can take, how well it can descend,etc] by 1.basing it off of someone else's experience 2. unless that person is a pro. There's a reason bike companies show off their bikes with videos with pro riders. its because a pro will be able to access the bicycle's full performance level, and than make a qualified decision based on his/her riding experience compared to other bikes. You and me are not pros, and therefore we are not really able to make a decision on a bike's handling characteristics. if you are a pro, awesome, and I'll shut up.
