Why don't you look at the sx. Not the trail version. It's a little bit smaller then what you're looking for but it looks really nice to me.
4x only, geo will be off for FR or DH, and its 4.2" of travel meant to work the best with 100mm at the front, 130mm max at the front, plus...it will be expensive if you want to make it work properly without making it a 4x bike

It's not 4x only, the geo has been modified, and it's beefier now, not to mention there were more riders on the SX than any other frame at Crankworx this year, AND it won the world Champs for 4X

the pros who ride them, have them built to the strength of the sxt, the sx frame is obviously lighter for 4x purposes,so frame is made out of the same if not stronger alu then the sxt's, thats the kinda changes, as well as change in geo
