160mm or 180mm Travel, that is the question??

popstar

YT Wicked all mountain 150 -a la Zesty , experience/trips away YT Noton 170 or YT Tues full fat 180-200. Obviously Canyon look good value too. But for UK Fuel EX is a perfect bike really.

Lots of travel is nice but not so hot when the BB is +330mm off the ground and the geometry changes during squat/extension.

It's a pretty good trail bike that can carry off 160mm+ travel without compromise.
