Velopedia analysis
What the specifications mean
Electronic shifting removes the usual shift cable but adds a separate battery and controls, while the 330% 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.
Drivetrain
Electronic · 330% range
Shift-system battery state joins derailleur setup and sprocket compatibility as a troubleshooting variable.
Tire setup
Tubeless-ready
The rims and tires may support tubeless use, but the bike may still be running tubes.
Frame material
Construction not classified
The published wording does not support material-specific assumptions, so use universal structural checks.
Published weight
8.69 kgs
Frame size, pedals, tire setup and production substitutions can change the measured result.
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 461 mm stack is low relative to the 389 mm reach, giving the frame a performance-oriented, lower-front-end proportion with more potential for a stretched riding position.
Handling tendencies
A 71° head angle combined with a 975 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 75 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 stack of 461 mm sits toward the lower end. Its reach of 389 mm sits toward the longer end. The head angle of 71° sits toward the slacker end.
51 geometry
Riding position
The 482 mm stack is low relative to the 406 mm reach, giving the frame a performance-oriented, lower-front-end proportion with more potential for a stretched riding position.
Handling tendencies
A 72.5° head angle combined with a 976 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 75 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 406 mm sits toward the longer end. Its stack of 482 mm sits toward the lower end. The head angle of 72.5° sits toward the steeper end.
54 geometry
Riding position
The 498 mm stack is low relative to the 420 mm reach, giving the frame a performance-oriented, lower-front-end proportion with more potential for a stretched riding position.
Handling tendencies
A 72.5° head angle combined with a 995 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 75 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 420 mm sits toward the longer end. Its stack of 498 mm sits toward the lower end. The chainstay of 405 mm sits toward the shorter rear-center end.
56 geometry
Riding position
The 516 mm stack is low relative to the 433 mm reach, giving the frame a performance-oriented, lower-front-end proportion with more potential for a stretched riding position.
Handling tendencies
A 72.5° head angle combined with a 1015 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 75 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 stack of 516 mm sits toward the lower end. Its reach of 433 mm sits toward the longer end. The chainstay of 405 mm sits toward the shorter rear-center end.
58 geometry
Riding position
The 535 mm stack is low relative to the 446 mm reach, giving the frame a performance-oriented, lower-front-end proportion with more potential for a stretched riding position.

61 geometry
Riding position
The 556 mm stack is low relative to the 455 mm reach, giving the frame a performance-oriented, lower-front-end proportion with more potential for a stretched riding position.
Handling tendencies
A 72.4° head angle combined with a 1048 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 74 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 455 mm sits toward the longer end. The chainstay of 405 mm sits toward the shorter rear-center end. Its stack of 556 mm sits toward the lower end.
Across the size range
From 48 to 61, reach grows by 66 mm and stack by 95 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.
