i say that because my demo 9, not that i know what it is is alot shorter than my 303 and its easier to manual over bumps and the dirt jumper is shorter than that and it is easier too
all other things being equal makes it worse. when you change a chainstay length, changes need to be made to other aspects of the geometry to keep the bike neutral. that being said, something around 17.5 allows for plenty of tire clearance, and usually keeps the tire clear of the seat tube, is long enough to maintain stability, and still short enough, to make the bike "flickable"
