I ride an '06 Enduro S-Works (150mm travel) with 160mm forks.
I had a ride on a mates Alpine 160 a few days ago, similar set up to my Enduro with 160mm forks, and it had so much front wheel grip compared to my Enduro. It just stuck in corners.
The bikes have the same front tyre and similar bar/stem length/height, so I'm guessing it's down to the frame geometry?
The Alpine is about 2 deg slacker head angle and felt slightly shorter than my Enduro. Is it just the slack head angle that gives better grip, or is it a combination of all frame angles taken together?
