We’ve tested a couple of different travels. It’s less [travel] than an enduro bike, and more than zero,” Johnson teased.“It’s not cross-country travel, but it doesn’t need to be. The geometry still needs to stay functional for what it is. It’s a ’cross bike, and it needs to turn. You get stability with the suspension. You don’t need the bike to be splayed out.
So the suspension is limited, I think the same effect could be got just from larger tires, although if you want to spend $$, there's no end of ways to do it!
