Sick! I love the raw aluminum tubes. Strong, durable, and relatively light. I'll always buy bikes constructed like this if I can help it.

I'm surprised the x2 lasted the 2 weeks of the test. Reinforces my choice of ohlins coil though.

If you're only after an improvement to the air spring the Luftkappe is an excellent option. It may be more expensive than just retrofitting a new SRAM airspring though.
The Range looks like the pivot is at least 10mm higher above the BB than the Devinci Spartan and Kavenz. I think the slightly lower pivot/idler may help mitigate some of the unusual handling characteristics of high pivot bikes while retaining most of the desirable traits.
I have a Kavenz VHP16 with an EXT Storia and can share my thoughts on the bike and high pivot enduro trail bikes in general. I rarely see chainline discussed with high pivot idler bikes. The bike's chainline is going to have an impact on how draggy and loud the idler is. On the Kavenz I'm running a 50.5mm chainline...

I'm running an Ohlins coil with a cascade link and the bike rides extremely well. If you want a more poppy feel it's fairly easy to adjust the shock to suit your style. I like a poppy bike and run a bit more compression damping and faster rebound to suit my riding. The bike boosts off jumps as well as any of the air shocks I've used on this bike while performing better everywhere else.
