This is much the same with my Nomad and the 5010.
When I ride the 5010 at trails that don’t really warrant a 170 travel bike, it just never feels quite right. There’s always a feeling that it could somehow be riding better.
I’m more relaxed and ride better on the Nomad and pretty much always choose it over anything else.

My trail bike is in Singapore at the moment so I'm riding the Enduro bike - this morning around Peaslake. I don't know why but something about the Raaw Madonna feels very "right", I feel more comfortable on it than I do the Jibb, that I can recover situations that I think would be challenging to gather back up, and that it's easier to make the Madonna do what I want it to do.
The Jibb is definitely (on paper) the better bike for Peaslake/HstM, and it'd definitely go up the hills faster, but of the two bikes I have to say I prefer the Madonna.
