Trailforks Update: Trail Condition Reporting & New Features
Yes it does, I'm down in Utah from BC Canada and using my old phone with no SIM card in (ie - no cellular service) and can use Trailforks while I'm out riding here. I just make sure to sync the data/download the maps/create ride routes on WIFI before heading out.
Hope this helps!

Field Test: 4 Hardtails & 5 Full Suspension Bikes vs. The Impossible Climb
I was down in that region about 2 weeks ago and it was 37C (99F). I don't mind the heat as much since I grew up doing long distance running in desert heat, that said, after I biked to the top of a trail my face looked like a tomato that was about to explode.

Giant Reign
$2450 USD2020 Giant Reign in size Medium, alloy frame.
27.5 wheels, so it's fairly nimble for an enduro bike.
The bike just had a tune up including rear brake bleed, new grips installed. 170mm travel Yari fork, 160mm travel Rockshox Deluxe Select+ rear shock.
GX derailleur, new shifting housing and cables. The bike is in fantastic condition and ready to ride.
Size medium should fit anyone from about 5'4"-5'11" ish depending on how big or small you like your bike to feel.

$950 USD2011 Stumpjumper Expert Evo 150mm Suspension in the front and 140mm rear
Specs for the bike can be found here:

Great bike if you're looking to get into mountain biking. It was quite high end and progressive at the time it was released and still rides quite well.
It's a size Large but fits on the smaller side of Large compared to new bikes. I would guess size is likely good for 5'8"-6'2".
This bike had a full tune up in the fall, mostly ridden by my girlfriend last season, I've had this bike about 5yrs and am the 2nd owner, used lightly during this time as it was mostly a back up bike.
$950

Video: $180 vs. $1900 Contact Points - Budget vs. Baller Episode 3
I love the video idea but I feel it's missing the mark a bit. Your audience isn't riding Walmart bikes on the trails.
Consumers are a lot smarter with their money than you're giving them credit for. No one out there is considering throwing a $9 stem (or any of the other garbage on Henry's bike) on their multi thousand dollar enduro bike. I think I'd personally find a lot more value in these videos if it was comparing decent budget kit that people actually buy vs higher end parts and then giving your informed opinion on where you feel it's worth high end upgrades. Fun videos regardless and I'll keep watching just for entertainment.

Video: Buying 2 Used Mountain Bikes & Testing Them - Budget vs. Baller Episode 1
if this reign has poor shifting like the 2nd hand one I bought, upgrading the derailleur and adding a new shifting cable/ housing was easily the best upgrade. For one of those bikes on video, front fork is the obvious upgrade though.
