I'm after a 130mm front travel max full susser. Ideally 650b but not sure what's out there, as there seems to be millions, can anyone recommend the likes ??

Why 130mm max? Geometry is more important than travel for how a bike rides.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

I'm aware of that, it's just most 140/150 bikes tend to be a bit too slack for my type of riding, but if there are 140/150 bikes with not a very slack head then by all means throw me a suggestion or two, as per request.0

I've not ridden it, but the new trance looks nice

Should be a perfect all round trail bike. Im getting one after Christmas.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350 -
Hmmm...only one suggestion so far, don't know why, but I expected more. :roll:0

Its the one obvious answer.
It may be worth looking at the Trek Fuel but I wouldn't buy a 29er now.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350 -

Because they are all new to market. You'll be very lucky to get an owners review, most will be what we've read in the mags etc. and as you are in the market you've probably done more research than most.0 -

Not ridden one either, but I have seen that model in the flesh at my LBS - nice looking bike.0
