My FS bike comes from 2004, it has 85mm of rear travel & an adjustable 100-130mm on the front, it seems that what goes around comes around, things are only outdated as long as the market has moved on, sometimes less is more and the market realises that & goes back to what was once outdated.
At this point I want an Ipad as it seems it will do as I require of it, sure it will do less than my hypothetical 150mm FS, but as I’m happy with 85mm for 99% of the time I reckon it will see me through most of my usage.
It’s a bit like the HT V FS arguments on here, & I’m sure you don’t need reminding of those 😉
