Modern Hardtails

[fourflys]

I finally sold my 26" Ibis Mojo SL a couple months back and have been thinking about a hardtail as I just like the simplicity of a hardtail I think..

I got an email from "Singletracks" with a list of new, long-travel, slack HT hardtails.. it got me wondering if there was a HT angle that would be too slack for what most hardtail folks, who aren't doing a bunch of dirt jumping, might want.. also, is 180mm of travel too much for a hardtail?

I know we have quite a few MTB riders in here, so.. I'll link the current article and the list they linked from 2018 for reference..
