I have a propain Spindrift. I've tested thousands of bikes, i have never, ever, had anything that plush, versatile, playful all while climbing like a beast. Deserved number 1.
Propain in Europe has such a huge selection of comps, you really can build a bike almost any way you want. in USA (vancouver) their website selection is much smaller. i built a Hugene and Tyee from the frame up.. fun bikes!
Spindrift sort of makes sense as the winner. My current, long suffering, bikepark/freeride bike is getting a bit rough and will probably need replacing at some point over the next 12 months or so and it will likely be a Spindrift that replaces it. (Mostly because the various not worn components on the current bike will bolt on, even the EST Storia shock).
nice vid. just one thing, it's not "geega", it's "giga" or "jiga" as in Back to the Future. It means 10^9 in math/science. I've got a Banshee Rune, 27.5, 160 rear, 180 front, it's alot of fun at the park for this 67 yo. My dream big bike would be an Atherton AM170.
I've got a Banshee Rune v3, it comes full 27.5 and has a flip chip to go with a 26" at the back. I've personally stuck a 29er front 27.5 rear as I'm a taller guy.
