Testing Out The 2022 Giant Stance E+ 1 @ El Prieto With OEM Suspension

I am testing out my Giant Stance E+1 on the same trails I take my enduro mountain bike with the OEM suspension. The current OEM setup are the Rockshox Recon 130mm and Rockshox Monarch. I will be switching to a Fox 38 150mm Grip 2 and a Cane Creek DBAirIL but, in the mean time I want to put these Rockshox to work. The Rockshox Monarch started to leak grease after this ride BTW. El Prieto is definitely one of the best single track experiences in Southern California. Extreme exposure, tight switch backs, fun turns, stream crossings, and rock gardens all within a ~2 mile descent through a oak lined canyon. This is classic mountain biking with a challenge for everyone. Beginning riders may walk many of the technical sections but the trail is definitely rideable from beginning to end by experienced riders. Beware of poison oak along this trail as its pretty much around all year.
