First Ride: Forbidden Dreadnought V2 - More Travel & Longer Chainstays
@winstonstruye: I tend to look at wheelbase as much as reach - if you think that reach is a measurement that affects the 'length felt' only when sitting down, it's not actually particularly relevant, except at the extremes. There's about a 25mm window of reach that feels good to me, but as I like to stand up on downhills (and going down is the important part), wheelbase and front/rear centre balance determines my confidence in a bike.
Work out roughly what wheelbase you like, and go from there. (And bear in mind the wheelbase on this will grow up to the 130mm travel mark too)
