Slightly slacker and less reach so I can go up a frame size (this could be a moot point now many current gen frames/bikes increased their reach sizing, almost a size.) I assume SC specs the N4 with 175mm cranks though... I likely could achieve similar by running a stubby stem a la Ranger V2 32mm. Might have to reference Norco's Reach+ measurements to figure this out. Haha. A dual crown seems very appropriate for this bike. SC site says 170-180mm fork. No mention of DC forks. :/
Ideally I'd want a more balanced front and rear travel than 200 up front. For myself this bike would likely blanket two of my bikes in ~98% of the riding I do on them. An all day all-trail epic or banging out non-stop Garbo tech laps would be the times I'd like something else. Currently I don't have illusions of hitting Crab Apple Hits either, but slapping backsides on FT, DM, and Aline is great with less travel bikes as well. The Delirium and Banshee Darkside really are smart bikes.
