It will be more about the overall geometry of the bike and efficiency of the suspension and how it performs under pedalling forces than the travel. Weight will play some role, as a lighter bike will climb with less effort if all other factors are equal.
The other question I would ask is...
Interesting. I'm at 5'11/6' and keep hearing that the M9 rides a bit roomier than earlier frames or other makes. I thought I would be a Medium. Now I'm rethinking. I'm pretty confident that I'd be in a Large in the V10c.
I found the Revolt to have a light, lively, and poppy feel compared to some of the other DH rigs I've been on. How would you compare the M9 in terms of manueverability in general, feel, and agility at lower speeds. I've heard nothing but glowing reviews of it's confidence at speed.
I...
For those of you currently on the M9, how is the sizing working out? Trying to decide between the Medium and Large at 6' 160lbs. Also looking closely at the V10c. Coming off of a Revolt. Any thoughts or feedback? Who's ridden all three?

I have a large Rampage and was curious about comparing it's weight with some of the lighter helmets out there. I remember looking it up somewhere, but I can't remember where I found it. I believe it was around 1250-1300g, which would put it close to the 2.5 pound mark (a litlle closer to...
I am 6' and ride a large frame in my 5" FS xc/trail rig. I typically prefer a more stretched out feel having come from more of a cross country background. I have owned both medium and large DH frames, and felt comfortable on both. At the end of the day I thought I would have liked the feel of...
I've been running a TALAS qr15 for a year now with no issues at all, and my front wheel comes off everytime I throw it in the rack to go for a ride. About 1,000 miles this summer riding three to five days a week and no problems with the qr15 axle.
Just curious what lead you to your conclusion, and if you had used either brace for DH/FR. What do you like better about the Bionic? Is it a fit/comfort thing, or level of protection? Have you had similar crashes with differing results using both braces? I'm always curious how people come to a...
Check out the Smith snow goggles more closely. Many of their "snow" and "mx" frames share lenses, so if there is a frame you like that works with the rx insert, there is probably an mx lens range for it.
To the OP:
The basic idea of your thinking is reasonable, but when it comes to real world functionality it just won't work for most. First you would have to eliminate all of the frames that have suspensions designed around a certain chainring size range to limit the efects of pedalling on...
Fair enough. In the end, you are the one that will be riding it, so you have to like the looks. Whether it looks like a "race" bike or not, it rides like one, but with more versatility.
I have heard nothing but good about the Morewood Makulu, particularly with the Bos suspension. From your...
