Review: Knolly Chilcotin 151
@Muscovir: You don't need a long front end if you're already balanced on the bike. The taller stack height also opens up the cockpit when descending. It's part of a balanced package, not just "it's 2022 so lets make it long, slack, and unbalanced, no one will care".
I run a 180mm dropper in my Titan, size large. That's plenty of dropper.
The great thing is that there are so many awesome options on the market, we can all have an opinion and find the bike we love. That said, super long reach paired with super slack head angles and super steep seat angles is a creation of "this would look cool to our customers" vs. creating a well rounded package that actually works. That's just my opinion, of course, I'm not an engineer by any means.

IMO, Banshee has geometry figured out. Keep the reach manageable and lengthen the chain stays in order to keep to centered on the bike and your weight where you need it.
