I haven't had to even wear a fanny pack since May when I got my new bike rolling. It can fit 2 bottles and a frame bag. I wouldn't even bother looking at a bike that can't fit a water bottle and now that I have a bike that can haul this much I'm not likely to spend money on one that can only carry a single bottle.
If you don't mind a pack that's great. There seems to be lots of designs that can't fit any bottles. Bikes don't need to be clones.
From what I can see on the trail bikes that fit bottles do not seem hamstrung in terms of suspension performance in order to achieve that goal.
