Nope, you’d love it!
But I don’t think you need something quite so slack and with such travel.
Really think your best options are a Stanton Sherpa or a Cotic Soul Max.
Both a step up from out and out XC so more fun on the downs but not too sluggish on the ups, steel, 120-130mm fork, pedal well and as far as I’m aware can take a rigid fork for your looong events.Oops this should have been for @hippy

Yeah, Stanton has been sat in its Shopping Cart for a while now. Thought I'd give this XC thing a go before committing to anything. To be fair, the XC bike is probably more bike for my skill but I think I'm set on steel anyway so I probably should just pull the trigger on the Stanton. But which colour... they don't do black :S

Dumb generalisation. 30%+ or my ride is to and from the trails on roads. But no way I want to ride the trails I’m on with a 100 mm xc bike.
Partly because I suck, but also that would suck.
