As the title really.

Like the idea of the shorter travel and steeper geo for my local, tamer trails, is the XC mode nicely useable?

I've had my Strive for a month. I haven't used it on any pure long distance XC rides, but have used it in XC mode to pedal between trails and yes it does seem to make the bike a bit more pedal friendly, particularly on steeper climbs where the front end is less prone to wander than when climbing in downhill mode. On my standard loop I have managed to get up all the steep technical climbs that I can on my shorter travel more XC bike.
