10/11/2017 5:09am Thanks! Comparing bikes overall is very difficult without real testing, so I only can answer about kinematics. In my opinion, there are three major differences between them: Anti-rise (or brake squat), Pedal Kickback, and Leverage Rate. AR on the Supreme is a bit excessive due to the high main pivot, causing probably losses of traction and a higher compression than...

10/11/2017 4:17am I think the Commençal pedals quite good but considering whole bike and not only kinematics, weight and geometry reduce their climbing abilities. For this reason the approach of the bike is more focused in gravity than "all mountain". Maybe this article can help you with anti-squat: https://mrblackmorescorner.blogspot.com.es/2017/09/conceptos-basicos-pa… Cheers!

9/27/2017 6:04am Thanks! Well, it has highs and lows. Overall I think is a great machine for bikeparks, freeride or this kind of trails and riding style. About kinematics is remarkably the low PK values with small rear cogs, the flat and high AS curve which ensures great stability and composure under hard pedalling, and the rearward axle path for better absorption...

9/22/2017 1:30pm
The Giant Reign is one of the world’s best selling enduro bikes, and it’s been around in one version or the other for almost 13 years by now. Whilst the basic design concepts behind the bike have not really changed over the years, of course everything else has. Materials, geo, suspension, standards, components…mountain biking never stands still! So in the name of keeping up, we headed over to Italy last week to discover the 6th generation of the Reign. Lower, longer, and slacker seems almost like a foregone conclusion here, but if you want to know everything else there is...

7/24/2017 12:51pm Haha for sure #26aintdead, but any brand launches a new fs 26 bike. I analyse the latest bikes so for this reason I don't include it in the poll.
