Agreed! And that happy medium, at least according to the industry, is in the 120mm to 140mm "trail bike" range.

A relatively boutique brand with an angleset. I've looked around, I can't find a modern trail bike with under 120mm of travel, I'm happy to be proven wrong. Heck it doesn't even look like Norco makes any bike with 100mm of travel any more. The new Stumpjumper FSR, arguably the go to "mountain bike" for the last 25 years, is 150mm next year with stems in the 60mm and 70mm range! The times they are a changing - and it's great!
