LHT is perfectly functional bike, very well balanced, but not the lugged goodness of the Hunq. I dont think the Bombadil was ever intended as a DH or all terrain bike especialy since its a fully rigid frame and all but more of a "rough stuff" bike. It is strange that the clearances werent at least in the high 50s but for my usage its great. I do still have my MB2 however if I ever want to go all MTBing, which the older I get is less appealing.
