hard to say, as the industry likes to follow the trends, and the longer/lower/slacker buzzwords are hot currently. bleeding edge enduro race geometry certainly isn't appropriate for everyone, but i haven't seen any companies promoting tighter, more lively handling platforms as of late. i wouldn't be surprised if we see "playbike" geometry emerge as a category down the road as a counterpoint to stretched speed machines, however.
