<p>Geometry is set for contemporary 140mm travel forks. It will happily take 130&#8242;s or 150&#8242;s.</p>
<p>Updated:: Friday late afternoon.<br />
So &#8211; what&#8217;s different? Well, it&#8217;s a series of tweaks that I&#8217;ve not seen anyone combine in one place before. The 67.5deg head angle is pretty slack by most peoples experiences, but combined with a long top tube and a short stem gives a bike that handles incredibly well at speed, through the rough, yet retains a quickness when you need it. It&#8217;s great. We recommend at 50-60mm stem.<br />
Seat angle is steep and gets steeper the bigger the frame. This lets us use a short back end for good stood climbing, but also keeps your weight forward when you&#8217;re sat, going up. The steeper seat angle is to stop big lads sitting right back over the back wheel and looping out. It&#8217;s the reverse to what normally happens &#8211; the other option would be making the rear stays longer on bigger frames, which I didn&#8217;t fancy.</p>]]></content:encoded>
