I would also like to ask if 4.75 inches of travel is too much for XC riding. I have ridden the Slayer and if the rear shock is set correctly(preload and rebound), it is very efficient and does not bob at all. At almost 5 inches of travel, I was amazed. What level of travel becomes to excessive for xc and agressive xc riding? Im sorry for bother you guys, i promise it will end soon.
