First Ride: The 2024 Giant Trance X Advanced
Still getting rid of overstock. New altitude doesn't have it either. Like the podcast said, they were probably all built last year while more stock sold for another year

First Ride: Forbidden Dreadnought V2 - More Travel & Longer Chainstays
@Jordmackay: I'm 6'1" and rocking the V1 35mm stem, with MX wheels. Feels fine for me and my ape index of 6'3".
464mm chainstay at 0% travel, growing to around 480mm at sag and 495mm at bottom out.

Video: The Riders Overlooked By Modern Geometry
@jessemeyers: honestly the dreadnought isn't too bad anymore. I ride in multiple areas with flatter terrain. The fluid is way too fun on terrain where it's a slough on the dread.

Video: The Riders Overlooked By Modern Geometry
You say this and I used to agree but not all reaches are the same. I bought a dreadnought in XL at 509mm reach, MX'd it for a 501mm reach to make it shorter. I got a XL Norco fluid at 510mm reach and the front triangle feels smaller with a 50mm stem vs the 30mm on the dread.
The fluid feels great but the dreadnought is now for sale. Obviously there's a bunch of other things going on with the dreadnought which makes it feel larger. But reach to reach on bikes isn't proportional.
