First Look: Giant's Aluminum Stance E+ Uses Flex-Stays
@DaveRobinson81 I was simply pointing out the design. The previous generation Stance E+ also used them.

DH Bike Review: Orange 279 - A Staple of British Downhill Racing
@fwp39: I had to dig to fact check, but the Earthed video series still play on repeat in my head. Thanks! All of our editors bring their own bits of clout to the table.

DH Bike Review: Orange 279 - A Staple of British Downhill Racing
@fwp39: I think that would have been Tracey Hannah on an Orange 223 at the 2007 Schladming World Cup and Matti Lehikonen on the Honda RN01 at the 2006 Balneário Camboriú World Cup.

Review: Prime Thunderflash - A Standout Enduro Bike
@norcorider-13 Thank you!
Seb Stott got first dibs on the Hope HB916 but it's a bike that ticks all the boxes for me.

Review: Prime Thunderflash - A Standout Enduro Bike
Both of those numbers weren't an issue for me. I just wanted to push the boundaries of the bike with the -1 angle set.
I haven't ridden either of those so I can't say sorry.

Review: Prime Thunderflash - A Standout Enduro Bike
@justanotherusername: All I can say is that it felt shorter. I used this website to estimate the reach by plugging in the headset stack heights and stock geometry: https://www.bike-stats.de/en/geometrie_rechner

@mick06: I'd love to try them all, but with all group tests, it's impossible to try them all. We've already tested most of the bikes that you mentioned and you can bet there will be more to come.
