It's not all about climbing speed and fitness though, the 120/130 bikes FEEL very different on the trail. You get a lot more direct feedback and much more "snappy" behavior, which can be very rewarding if you ride them on trails that suit them. Even a light build on a capable 150 bike doesn't get anywhere near that same feeling...

In this new episode of the “Let’s Ride” series with Ludo May, we head to the famous slabs of Narvik, Norway. Accompanied by Kilian Bron, we take advantage of the midnight sun to ride in truly unique conditions. Between searching for the perfect line on the slabs and the spectacular light, this outing promises to be unforgettable.

I rode a Smuggler for a year, and it definitely ticks the boxes for you it seems - I definitely enjoyed it as a bike that can handle pretty much everything short of full-on enduro quests. Another trail bike that I really enjoyed was the Nukeproof Reactor, although at 140/150 it may not be the step down in travel you...

Specialized just dropped a firmware update for the Levo 4, boosting power and introducing several other refinements. The S-Works version gets a bump from 720W to 850W (bye-bye regulatory 750W power limit), with the standard system increasing from 666W to 810W (bye-bye HEAVY METAL 666 lol). Torque stays at 111Nm on the S-Works, while it increases from 101Nm to 105Nm...

The measured with the same, constant lever force. It is likely that at different lever forces the brakes behave differently compared to each other. So the test results and your real life experiences (where the finger force constantly varies) can both be true. Even more so when you factor in different brake pads, rotors, bleeds, etc.

Kinda derailing this thread now, but a couple of counter arguments: -XTR, XT, and SLX aren't "wildly" different in the results, there's about 10% decrease in recorded power between each of them with stock pads (they didn't test XT and SLX with the Sinter pads). Since they used the average of 20 decelerations, I would say there is some underlying...
