Yep, I built up my 140r/150f new modern geo 29 in response to my previous trail bike's shortcomings. Had I known how much more capable the geo makes the bike I would've went with less travel all around. Heck my modern geo HT doesn't flinch down stuff I'd walk my old 130/130 mm trail bike down.
In addition suspension has also been doing more with less. In the coming years the 100-130mm travel will be the next hot segment to get modern geo. And eventually more of it will trickle down to pure XC race bikes.
