The new Evil Wreckoning would be near the top of my list right now.

They should have made the ST steeper IMO.

I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

I know I said the Ranger was making me horny but I just noticed it has 10 fucking pivots in the linkage, makes an Evil look like a hardtail

Has anyone ridden the Forbidden Druid or Deviate Highlander? I'm super curious about both of them...

Have you tried a mullet set up? Might be worth a try. I find it jas the best of both worlds. Still quick in the turns but the front wheel doesnt get hung up as ez. Especially on steep tranditions, it just rolls through. If the chainstay length is exceptable its much cheaper to convert a 9er to mullet than buying a fork and wheel for a 27.5. I cant think of any drawbacks off hand but maybe im missing something
I still wouldnt mind a 27.5 set up but thatd probably be a bike with shorter travel that id drop down a size as kind of a slower speed play bike

Anyone know if/when the Honzo ESD will be available? Seen any in the wild? Haven't heard back from dealers yet.

I didn't want to start a new thread, and thought this one is most appropriate for my question. What would be your preference between the 2021 Trance X (alum) mentioned earlier in this thread vs a nearly new 2019 Smuggler carbon NX build? Sort of apples to oranges. The Trance would get a number of parts swapped/upgraded to either full SLX 7120 or GX/Code. Price comes out to about ~$3,200 for either. The Smuggler could get an angle set or 150mm fork to get a slightly slacker HA. Both would be a little over 30 lbs.
Resale is usually something I take into consideration. The limited rear tire clearance on the Smuggler is a concern. I do prefer the threaded BB and external rear brake line on the Smuggler. No warranty on the Smuggler. I've thought about the Ripmo AF, but seems to be a bit on the heavy side. YT Jeffsy Comp was considered, but all sold out. Anything else I should consider in the $3k range?

I would take a smuggler over any bike in giant's lineup.

Thanks. I would be building something frame up as I’ve done in the past, but good used parts are getting hard to find this year.

I don't know if these would be considered 2021...or really any year, but there's some pretty cool stuff in here:

As a road nerd, I think I like the Bastion best:
...f/b the Pursuit:

2021 Polygon Siskiu T looks promising. Current geometry, SLX 12-spd, and Fox for $2,300. I haven't been able to find info on weight.
