To feel comfortable I had to rise the bars quite a bit (to compensate for the fork sag as well) and with about 25mm of spacers and a 50mm rise bars (and 12° back sweep), it feels great, like driving a truck, with a very upward position (I don't like the hunched XC position). Reach (size L) is 490mm and +-505mm as sag.Ĭoming from a 2013 26", it felt really weird at first, the pelvis being more forward, close to vertical to the BB means that the upper body weight is much more spread between the saddle and bars (while with a 73° seat angle most of the weight is on the saddle, arms are just holding the bars with not much weight on them), and I'd get numbness in the hands. Of course you're not gonna beat an endurance record with such a geometry but it's pretty great for going up and down (and really not so bad to wander around). I have a Honzo ESD with a 77.5° seat tube, which turns to about 79° at sag, and I really like it. Similar to the "how much reach is too much reach ?" thread, how steep is too steep ? ![]()
