oh - also interesting is the corsair marque that came out a year or so later. 130mm travel trailbike iteration of this platform (the maelstrom was firmly in freeride territory).
re: early, somewhat effective non-dh rigs - know a couple guys that were on blur 4x's that were pretty happy with them for hard trail use. came out 2004-ish; granddaddy of the aggressive trailbike?
i had a nicolai ufo ds 2006-ish that was a stout single crown 115mm travel thing with enough adjustability to get decently slack & aggro (for the time). was great at the \#cypressbikepark
