I'm wondering about what my next frame will be as my 2005 Huster is getting a bit long in the tooth.

I absolutely love the hustler but for it's burliness 4.3" of travel doesn't quite cut in on alpine decents. So I want something that rides like the hustler but weighs less and has and inch or 2 more travel. Holy Grail ?

My current ST4 rides better than my Hustler ever did, with less travel. But not really the type of bike you're after, so of no use to you whatsoever 😉

I loved my hustler but am now riding a nicolai helius FR which gives 6.5 inch rear travel, weight is a tad more. The current offer would be Helius AM which has similar travel.
You could of course get a current Hustler which ups the travel to 5.5.

Like Kit i went from a Hustler(had 3)to an St4 and really liked the St4,
unfortunately i broke the St4 and after speaking to Orange got a new Five
as a replacement,this took a bit of thinking as i tested a Five 4 years ago and wasn't that impressed however the new one is fantastic!doesn't climb as well as the St4 did but better than the Hustler and for descending/blasting about its better than both.
