@Lynx, I have the 190mm shock, a Manitou McLeod, and the Phantom absolutely rips in this mode. I went a step further and turned it into a mini Spitfire by running 27.5 wheels front and rear. I also went crazy and swapped the 29er Fox34 for a 27.5 Fox 36 (travel at 170mm!) and the geo is basically the same as a stock Phantom 29er. Such a fun bike!
