    Afternoon people,

    Are there any short travel carbon 650B’s out there? Looking for 120mm travel or less.

    Seems most 650’s are “enduro” style but i’m looking for something that would be capable on short xc races.

    Cheers

    That Giant ticks the box!

    I’ve heard mixed reviews on the Spark though. Something to do with the rear shock/linkage?!

    29er? There is not that much difference between my 26er (cannondale prophet) and my titus fireline 29er. But if I was doing an xc race(I did one in the summer that used part of a DH course) I would take the 29er. Small wheels for me are more fun but bigger are like a steam roller which is very useful when going full steam on an xc race.

    Was never a big fan of Giant, but bought an XTC advanced 3 last year, and if the Anthemn is as good as the XTC, you won’t be disappointed.
