What the specifications mean
Electronic shifting removes the usual shift cable but adds a separate battery and controls, while the 360% cassette range describes how much gearing is available. The rims and tires are tubeless-ready, but that label does not confirm the bike is currently set up without tubes; tape, valves, sealant and tire condition still matter. The archived frame description does not map confidently to a material-specific inspection rule, so the frame and fork should be checked directly for structural damage, alignment problems, corrosion and evidence of repair.
Used-bike inspection
If you’re buying this bike used
Before any test ride: both brakes should stop the bike firmly and release cleanly; both wheels should run true and be securely attached; tires should have no casing damage; and the headset, handlebar, stem, cranks and pedals should have no looseness or play.
Follow the full used-bike inspection order →- FrameInspect the complete frame and fork in bright light for cracks, dents, distortion, corrosion, impact marks, suspicious paint differences or signs of repair. Check the head tube, bottom-bracket area, dropouts, joints and clamped surfaces especially closely.Inspect the frame and fork →
- BrakesTest each brake separately and confirm it stops firmly and releases cleanly. Inspect the pads and braking surfaces for wear or contamination, and check the cables or hoses for damage.Inspect the brakes →
- DrivetrainConfirm every shift-system battery charges, every shift control works and the derailleur moves cleanly across the cassette. Make sure the matching shift-system charger is included, then measure chain wear and inspect the cassette teeth.Check drivetrain wear →
- Wheels & tiresSpin both wheels and watch the rims for side-to-side or vertical movement. Check for dents, cracks, loose or uneven spokes and hub play, then inspect both tire casings for cuts, cracking or exposed threads. If it is set up tubeless, confirm both tires hold pressure and ask when the sealant was last refreshed.Check wheels and tires →

Geometry interpretation
What this geometry means
48 geometry
Riding position
The 494 mm stack is low relative to the 378 mm reach, giving the frame a performance-oriented, lower-front-end proportion with more potential for a stretched riding position. A 75° seat angle puts the rider relatively forward over the bottom bracket, shortening the effective seated reach compared with a more relaxed seat angle.
Handling tendencies
A 71° head angle combined with a 973 mm wheelbase points to more stability-oriented steering and chassis behavior. The longer the chassis and slacker the front end, the more the bike tends to favor composure over very quick direction changes. A 80 mm bottom-bracket drop places the rider relatively low between the wheels, which can add a settled cornering feel while reducing pedal clearance compared with a higher bottom bracket.
Archive context
Its bottom-bracket drop of 80 mm sits toward the deeper-drop end. Its wheelbase of 973 mm sits toward the shorter end. The seat angle of 75° sits toward the steeper end.
51 geometry
Riding position
The 515 mm stack is low relative to the 395 mm reach, giving the frame a performance-oriented, lower-front-end proportion with more potential for a stretched riding position. A 75° seat angle puts the rider relatively forward over the bottom bracket, shortening the effective seated reach compared with a more relaxed seat angle.
Handling tendencies
A 72.5° head angle combined with a 974 mm wheelbase points to moderate and balanced steering and chassis behavior. The longer the chassis and slacker the front end, the more the bike tends to favor composure over very quick direction changes. A 80 mm bottom-bracket drop places the rider relatively low between the wheels, which can add a settled cornering feel while reducing pedal clearance compared with a higher bottom bracket.
Archive context
Its reach of 395 mm sits toward the longer end. Its bottom-bracket drop of 80 mm sits toward the deeper-drop end. The head angle of 72.5° sits toward the steeper end.
54 geometry
Riding position
The 531 mm stack is low relative to the 409 mm reach, giving the frame a performance-oriented, lower-front-end proportion with more potential for a stretched riding position. A 75° seat angle puts the rider relatively forward over the bottom bracket, shortening the effective seated reach compared with a more relaxed seat angle.

56 geometry
Riding position
The 549 mm stack is low relative to the 422 mm reach, giving the frame a performance-oriented, lower-front-end proportion with more potential for a stretched riding position. A 75° seat angle puts the rider relatively forward over the bottom bracket, shortening the effective seated reach compared with a more relaxed seat angle.

A 72.5° head angle combined with a 1045 mm wheelbase points to moderate and balanced steering and chassis behavior. The longer the chassis and slacker the front end, the more the bike tends to favor composure over very quick direction changes. A 80 mm bottom-bracket drop places the rider relatively low between the wheels, which can add a settled cornering feel while reducing pedal clearance compared with a higher bottom bracket.
Archive context
The seat angle of 75° sits toward the steeper end. Its bottom-bracket drop of 80 mm sits toward the deeper-drop end. The chainstay of 405 mm sits toward the shorter rear-center end.
Across the size range
From 48 to 61, reach grows by 65 mm and stack by 93 mm, showing how the frame becomes both longer and taller through the published size range. The rear center stays essentially constant at about 405 mm across sizes, so most of the wheelbase growth happens in the front half of the bike rather than by lengthening the rear triangle.
Geometry describes frame proportions and likely tendencies, not a ride test. Rider proportions, cockpit setup, tires, suspension settings, wheel configuration, and component choices can materially change how a bicycle fits and feels.
