Salsa makes full squish MTB's specifically mindful of frame bag and water bottle clearance, with a long extension front of the BB shell and a transverse shock. If you don't care to spend Sworks money, they also offer affordable builds on alloy frames, which this or the Supercaliber will never ever be.
