I know this isn’t fair but I can’t help feeling that without the Spur these new-school short travel comparisons are incomplete.

I agree, the Spur should be included in any DownCountry (there, I said it- lol!) review. It's the benchmark! I gotta say that Vital and Jason have been killin' it with the reviews. Just so good. Both the overview, and the full bike reviews. Really full of details and cover the bikes well. With some website reviews where the majority of the focus is on bike fit, and other sites that have weird mechanical issues and strange component set-up details that take away from the review. Please- keep up the great work here!

I agree that there are weight, cost, travel, and component differences between the four bikes. And that is part of the reason we tested the bikes we did - they are all short-travel bikes that due to their subtle nuances provide differences in performance. I'll reiterate that the goal here was not to pick a 'winner' or 'the best bike.' Our goal was to test bikes within certain parameters (100 and 130mm of travel, rolled on 29-inch wheels, and shared similar components) and find out where each really shined to help riders understand which bike would be best for them...
