Just to clarify, this bike isn't mine but I do have the switchblade. Lowering the fork and mullet would give you quite a low BB, which you may or may not like. I found that going to mullet dropped the bb 6cm putting it at 340 and HA at 65.5, even in the high setting. If you wanted to mullet I would recommend slamming the seat forward to reduce the wandering. I didn't drop the bar stack as I like where mine is at but that could help too. I have been curious to see how a -1 angleset would work with the bike as well. That combined with a mullet be interesting as you still get a bit of STA steeping with an angleset. Although I'll likely leave it as is it since I think the Switchblade works great for the trails we have around here. I found with a mullet climbing I was getting hung up on chunking climbs in the rear more.
It has 10mm more travel but is steeper head angle (+1.5), shorter wheelbase (-1") than its "trail" bike. I don't really see why anyone would pick this over the Spectral next year.
