How are the peddling characteristics on the G13?

I'm sure an enduro rider will say it pedals like a HT when in actual fact it's a 130mm trail rig as per its intent...
Add in 250g per end of high density pool noodle creating a secondary buffer to the bump transfer into the shocks and I'm sure it's a whippet

Haha, it wasn't supposed to be a tongue in cheek dig. I just know you've been on a lot of bikes over the last few years, including Yeti and Specialized and wondered how it might compare. I know a lot of those bikes also started out relativity light weight and slowly progressed to bigger tyres, inserts, coils etc. It looks like this bike you've gone straight to something you know works for your riding style and terrain.

I've been doing the same thing, but in reverse. I'd been buying bigger bikes and running wide sticky rubber and being the "I don't give a shit what it weighs" guy. But I've realised over the last 18 months that I really enjoy a light weight, active and twitchier bike, eg. XC bikes. To the point where my 130/140mm modern trail bike has sat dormant for the last 6 months while I rode the crap out of my second hand, 5 year old geometry XC whippet.
It certainly pays to ride different bikes because everyone's got different tastes. I'd love to try that G15 of yours out somewhere like Falls Creek or Bright to see what a big plow machine can really do with some big grade descents

Coming off a 160mm Reign my 140/120 travel trail bike DOES feel like a whippet.I've been doing the same thing, but in reverse.

Sorry to hear about the breakup mate.
