[Closed] Looking for recommendations for XC full sus 650b

I'm looking to change my Hardtail frame to a full sus frame, but, only looking for something low priced, and short travel.
I mostly ride this bike on longer rides on roads/easy going bridleways/ Singletrack occasionally when big bikes down. More like old fashioned XC rides.

Most frames out there today appear to be longer travel "Trail" frames, has the XC type full sus gone completely ?

Can anyone recommend a 650b frame in 100mm, 120mm travel ?

So far I'm only seeing the Saracen Kiliflyer in this sort of area.

Many thanks.

Set on 650b? My rocky Mountain element fits the bill in a 29

Scott spark. Very racey.
Pyga do a 650b 120mm as well.
Pivot mach 4 (I think its the mach 4, I know they do one).

The hardtail is already 650b, so easier to move all that stuff over really.

Thanks for recommendations, will take a look.

Spark +1.
Not just racey.. its good at almost everything considering its a 120mm bike.
Frame only might be tough though. For 2015 framesets are frame and fork... and available in full carbon only.
For alloy, you'd need to be buying full bike.
