i've had lots of time on hp dh bikes (gearbox & jackshaft platforms), but haven't tried any of the current short(er) travel platforms. i'm pretty familiar with the potential benefits of a hp, but they've also not been without tradeoffs, and the trek pivot isn't \*that\* high, so a bit curious of the cost/benefit ratio in comparison to a standard configuration.
