just have a look at the very first generation Silverback ..... actually, that is not nice to the Silverback ...

That Whistle if I go on the details you gave is a 27.5 with ancient geometry 70.5/71 head angle and 72 seat angle. Firstly 27.5 in a xc/marathon HT is a definite no and with those angles.

Scott has modern geometry they are much better on the trails and the frame is worth some upgrades later on.
