Sorry, but with a spread between bikes of 5lbs, $4000, 40mm travel, Recons vs Minions, & piggyback vs straight shocks, this isn't even a remotely cohesive test field. If this hodgepodge is all you could swing in this supply-chain-challenged time, fine, but please don't pretend you're testing a single class of bike. Weights, costs, & travel need to be far more focused, & all bikes shod in identical test tires to properly level the playing field.
