Original Phantom with a couple geo updates and the shock mounted to the top tube or through the down tube (like an Orange DH bike) so I can have a bottle? I’m there! Love that adjustable dropout system.
I think the geo really comes down to terrain. I don’t do much “dropping” on my rigid bike but do feel the aggressive geo (long wheelbase, balanced front/rear, slack HTA) gets me down trails where I’d otherwise like a bunch of suspension.
For better or worse (personally in the better camp) I suspect we’ll see more companies adopting geo packages through their trail lineup where the Titan, Prime, and Phantom would all have ~ the same HTA and Reach and STA and the real difference will be travel.
