Has anyone had or at least put in some time on both of the 2022 model altitude C70 and the 2024 or newer style C70? I currently have a 2022 and really like it but debating on getting the newer bike. I would love to hear the good and the bad on both if you can help a guy out.

I recall the 2024 had some issue with those big pivot bearings coming loose. Not sure if they ever adressed that.
Have the 2024. Wife has a 2021. Mine is a proper Enduro bike, hers is a long legged trail bike. If that slight but important distinction isn’t a big deal, no real need to change it up. If it is, and you have the terrain for it, you’ll be in good company with the 2024+.
Also the lower pivot issue is readily solved with some blue loctite. The biggest PITA is the lower shock bolt but in theory that’s not super common and is just a 10 min job instead of a 2 min job.
And worth noting that kinematics change quite a bit from 29er to mullet, and between the flip chip positions.
