I assumed that it was two different bikes, but it seems it was two tests of the same bike. That makes it very interesting, because the numbers are different. So what had changed? The wheel diameters (Durchmesser) are different. Going by the dates on the report, I could imagine that the bike had got a new front tyre, but was still on the same rear. That would explain the front being a couple of mm bigger, but the rear a few smaller. The trail in the second report is marginally shorter, the wheelbase about 5 mm shorter. Maybe the forks got pushed a bit higher through the triple-clamps? I can't really imagine what might have caused the changes in the numbers in the last section, unless through pushing the forks up a bit they got a little out of line (one slightly higher than the other...), causing a bit of a twist between the front and rear wheel. And an interesting question is why the bike was tested twice within less than a year? That sort of test generally is not for free, and would not normally be made without a reason.
