Looked all over. I can't find it. But I'm trying to get my hands on an actual paper issue. If I do I'll post it and PM you.

The ZINO link worked a treat. Thanks!

Cost $5.55 to buy that months digital access. Nice article seems to echo the ride reports on this forum closely. Nothing earth shattering.

Here are some snippets from the KTM Talk ?ADB Shootout? article:

Re: Gasgas EC300 wins ADB Shootout
2018 models.
"I liked: Best overall suspension package of the bunch, with a firm and positive setup. Great for racers and even serious trail riders.
I didn't like: I found the jetting was too lean, but this can be easily fixed."

I liked: "I felt comfortable and confident on the Gas Gas straight away, I could push hard from the first corner. Strong engine, accurate handling and comfortable ergos.
I didn't like: Cockpit and some aspects of the engine are dated, choke on handlebar, starter motor bolted on the side, cheap grips."

I liked: Gas Gas felt like a motocross bike. It had firm suspension and very snappy power which made it a weapon to ride.
I didn't like: While I liked the race bike feel of the Gas Gas carving up the single track, I think it might be a bit of a handful on a all day trail ride.

Thanks to a strong motor, a competitive price and a super-solid, confidence inspiring suspension package, the EC300 walks away with the crown.

I heard two of the testers asked to lean off the air screw during the day and then the ex-pro needed it richened back up.
