Great review of a good looking bike (except for the orange fork) that has on point geo and good prices. However, there is some tough competition at that price point, with 2022 and 2023 models from the major brands still available locally at steeply discounted prices.
Without fully slamming the saddle I was able to get my setup on point. Naturally, running the head angle steeper does also steepen the seat tube. - Myles
I merely commented on the stats provided… Other modern XC bikes are getting steeper on the seat tubes. Not Trail or even Enduro steeper, but more on the 75 mark. Interesting geometry choice. 😎

What’s with the very slack seat tube angle? Less than 74? On a modern bike? Curious…
Maybe If we mesure as a straight line from the bb to the saddle, its not that Slack.
