Hi Cari,

I'm the same height as you with a similar inseam and I have an XS Titus Moto-Lite (the replacement for the LocoMoto). I run 5" travel on the rear and have a 90 - 130mm TALAS on the front, but the Moto-Lite can be adjusted to suit 4" on the rear as has already been said above. The Moto-Lite is an "all mountain" bike, whatever that means. It's awesome, in most things. Its not particularly heavy, I have never weighed mine, although I do know it is heavier than the hardtail it replaced (though that was fairly light). I did spend quite a bit of money puting a lightish build on it, but not stupidly light. It climbs pretty well,only slightly worse than my hardtail, I don't think it bobs too much at all. I have a Fox RP3 shock on it and there is a definite difference in the three settings. It descends like an absolute demon and I think it is a very stable bike.

My Avatar has me riding it though I don't think you'll see much !

I had similar problems last year when looking for a small suss and the Titus was the only one that I demoed and liked. A friend of mine is looking at the moment and her shortlist is Santa Cruz Juliana/Blur XC, Yeti ASR (not the 575 as the standover on that is really high even on the smaller sizes), and a Moto-Lite. There is also the Ventana X5 which goes down to really small frame sizes.
