Trek ex9 650b is also an option. 68 degree head. 120mm travel.

Longish toptube for use with shorter stems. Think the bars are 720 on a medium.

That rear floating pivot system is also sprinkled with pixie dust.

 

Its just an option. Personally I would go for the Rune. Sorry, the other banshee you mentioned.

Seems the choice of someone with good taste in bikes.

The Vitalmtb review of the Banshee Phantom:

" It's a winning combination for the rider that likes to get rowdy on the descents while still enjoying a sense of efficiency everywhere else. Ultimately it made us re-think our desire for increasingly bigger and burlier bikes. A skilled rider can get away with less travel, have just as good a time on the descents, and be faster on all the sections in-between while aboard the Phantom."

Pix or it's not real. I'm actually keeping an eye on a Phantom that might be a good deal and if it is then I'm going to have decisions to make!
