I was thinking about the Ghost AMR 7700 Lector...

I ride mainly trails but would like to maybe start getting into some more hardcore stuff... The only thing is will I need more travel then 120mm?

or is there any other light options that I can consider with around 140mm?

    Travel doesn't make a huge difference. It's all about the geometry. 20mm of extra travel makes less difference than a degree off the head angle and a lower bottom bracket.

    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.
