Makes sense to me. I don't blow through the 575's rear travel unless I'm really aggressive when using my legs to pump the bike through a corner. Probably that's because I'm a spindly 145-150 lbs. But I agree it would be nice to have a firmer rear suspension action. I tend to leave ProPedal on during many climbs for that reason, and even have left it on during some descents for the same reason.

I love my Trance X-0 and have been racing it in xc races, 6 hour events, super D, etc... I have hard time thinking of what I would improve if I could only have one mountain bike. I would prefer having a dedicated xc bike and a little larger travel bike, but this does both of those quite well... surprisingly well. Mine weighs between 25.5 and 26 pounds with nothing real light on it.
