Narrowed my search down to two steel hardtails, Cotic Solaris Max and RSD Middle Child. My local trails are in northern Colorado, a mix of alpine, high desert, big climbs and rocks (hence the name “Rocky Mountains”.

I know it’s fully capable for bike packing, and all-day rides, but was wondering just how much on the enduro hardtail does it lean? Thank you in advance.
