Hi dear internet... I'm after a new bike. Can you provide experiences with my shortlisted bikes, please? :D

I have always advocated the testing of bikes rather than going on reviews. To this end, I've tested a Whyte S-150 & G-170 (I have a G-150), a YT Capra (27.5 & 29) and Jeffsy, Bird Aeris, Rocky Mountain Altitude, Orange Stage 6 and the Intense Tracer & Carbine. (I was going to test the GT Force at Malverns, but we know what happened there. :cry: However, they're taking the demo fleet to Swinduro, so if I don't buy beforehand, I'll demo the Force there.)

The Altitude was amazing as was the Tracer, so I can't choose between them. Can you help with this choice? Pros & Cons of RM/Intense or is the Force worth waiting for?

TIA! :D
