....YT Capra,I've got the MK1 and I absolutely love it-it's an easy pedalling mile muncher with a fun dark side. I can only imagine the newer one is even better - definitely looks like they learn't from the first one,looks burlier .

My old Reigns were good bikes too mind as I'm sure the newer ones are.

Ibis Mojo Hd4. Best bike I have ever owned! Pedals amazingly, wonderfully compliant rear end. Screw in BB! No need to look anywhere else

Orange Alpine 6. And no I haven't got one (Five suits me better), but they are mint. A long-term Dirt magazine favourite, and after demoing one I can see why.

Radon Jab?

Recently spotted their Slide Trail model for myself. The only negative seems to be PF BB (I still prefer threaded).

10mm short on travel, but, the Specialized Stumpjumper EVO 27.5 is pretty bonkers in my book.

I was thinking the other day, as modern enduro bikes have got similar in geometry the main thing to choose on for a lot of people now is chainstay length.

Short and playful, long and stable or somewhere in the middle?

I know you like your bikes quite short in reach, how about a Hope HB160?
Nirvana stock them, maybe Simon could have a word with Hope... ;0)

All 10mm shy on travel but...
Evil Insurgent
Santa Cruz Bronson
Mach 6 Alloy not an option?

"I was thinking the other day, as modern enduro bikes have got similar in geometry the main thing to choose on for a lot of people now is chainstay length."

I think this is a good point. I'm guessing Tony errs towards shorter chainstays being more about style, flow and jumps than enduro racing.
