I've been combing around to see what's out there, but the 821 seems to be the only one with even close to a trail spec as far as suspension goes. I'd really like to find something in the 130mm to 140mm travel of possible before I just completely destroy my MB01. Granted it's held up great, but I'm pushing it at it's limits now since I live where there are hills and mountains. I need something beyond XC class.
Suggestions?

Did you check the ICAN P8 and P9?

Nope, but I'll make a switchback over to another browser tab and start looking :-)

There are also many posts on the forum about those 2 frames and shock options to increase/decrease rear travel. You can also rum them with 29er wheels.

Yes, this is more of what I am looking for. Also, it seems Peter has a CS-S065 that also falls into the trail category. These 3 give me some things to ponder. In a perfect world, I'd build the P9 full enduro class and probably the S065 for trail. But once I get my finances straight, I may have to step into this differently.
Good thing is, Trail/AM/Enduro frames are finally starting to show up.

The CS-S065 has a steep 69 degree head angle, a long chainstay and a short reach. It's like a longuer travel version of the 036 with a vertical shock.
