"A balanced bike that absolutely rips on tighter, medium-paced trails."
Well balanced on tighter, medium gradient trails
Great suspension feel at low-medium speed
Well executed single pivot
Some neat frame features
Geometry and suspension begins to feel overwhelmed at higher speeds
Slack seattube will punish taller riders
Underpowered brakes

The Supreme Council might have a tough time putting a stamp on the Gen. 3 Process 153. In some ways it handles like an enduro bike, stomping big lines and landing softly, but it's not too much for lower angle trails or janky business thanks to its modest length and sensible geometry. Based on my experience on really rough and fast stuff, it may not be suited to everyone looking for an enduro beast, but that's the only situation where it wasn't up to the task. It's great in the air, beastly in corners and it devours flow trails, even technical ones with quick left to right switches and surprises to keep you on your toes.
