Velopedia analysis
What the specifications mean
The fork and rear shock need to be set up as a pair. If their sag or rebound settings are far apart, the front and rear of the bike can react very differently. On the alloy frame, dents and hairline cracks around welds matter more than cosmetic scratches. Pay closest attention near the head tube, bottom bracket shell, dropouts and other heavily loaded junctions. The 29-inch format uses a 622 mm bead-seat diameter; rim width and available frame or fork clearance still govern tire compatibility.
Suspension setup
Front + rear
Fork and shock pressure, sag and rebound should be balanced and recorded independently.
Frame material
Aluminum / alloy
Dents and cracking around welds at the head tube, bottom bracket shell and dropouts deserve attention.
Wheel standard
29 in · 622 mm
Rim width and frame or fork clearance remain important beyond nominal diameter.
Tire pairing
Different front / rear
Replacements should preserve each end’s diameter, width and casing requirements.
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 →- FrameLook closely for dents and hairline cracks around welds, the head tube and bottom-bracket area. Cosmetic scratches matter less than a change in shape or a crack line.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 →
- SuspensionAsk when the fork and shock were last serviced. Check the stanchions for damage, look for oil at the seals, cycle both units through their travel and test the suspension pivots for play.Evaluate the suspension →
- DrivetrainShift through the full range under light load, measure chain wear and inspect the cassette or freewheel teeth. Skipping or hesitation can indicate wear, poor adjustment or mismatched parts.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.Check wheels and tires →

Geometry interpretation
What this geometry means
SM geometry
Riding position
The 613 mm stack is tall relative to the 440 mm reach, pointing to a more upright front-end position rather than an especially long, low cockpit. Its 77.4° effective seat angle places the seated rider relatively forward, a layout that generally helps keep body weight centered on steep climbs.
Handling tendencies
A 64.9° head angle combined with a 1187 mm wheelbase points to 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.
Archive context
Its bottom-bracket drop of 48 mm sits toward the deeper-drop end. The seat angle of 77.4° sits somewhat steeper than typical. Its reach of 440 mm sits somewhat longer than typical.
MD geometry
Riding position
A 460 mm reach paired with 619 mm of stack gives this size a moderate frame proportion: roomy enough when standing without pushing strongly toward either a very low or very upright front end. Its 76.9° effective seat angle places the seated rider relatively forward, a layout that generally helps keep body weight centered on steep climbs.
Handling tendencies
A 64.9° head angle combined with a 1211 mm wheelbase points to 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.
Archive context
Its bottom-bracket drop of 45 mm sits somewhat deeper than typical. Its reach of 460 mm sits somewhat longer than typical. The seat angle of 76.9° sits somewhat steeper than typical.
XM geometry
Riding position
A 483 mm reach paired with 629 mm of stack gives this size a moderate frame proportion: roomy enough when standing without pushing strongly toward either a very low or very upright front end. Its 76.9° effective seat angle places the seated rider relatively forward, a layout that generally helps keep body weight centered on steep climbs.
Handling tendencies
A 64.9° head angle combined with a 1241 mm wheelbase points to 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.
Archive context
Its reach of 483 mm sits toward the longer end. Its wheelbase of 1241 mm sits somewhat longer than typical. Its bottom-bracket drop of 42 mm sits somewhat deeper than typical.
LG geometry
Riding position
With 511 mm of reach and 640 mm of stack, the frame has a relatively long, low proportion that should leave plenty of room when standing and put the front end toward the lower side of modern mountain-bike fit. Its 77.4° effective seat angle places the seated rider relatively forward, a layout that generally helps keep body weight centered on steep climbs.
Handling tendencies
A 64.9° head angle combined with a 1279 mm wheelbase points to 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.
Archive context
Its reach of 511 mm sits toward the longer end. The seat angle of 77.4° sits toward the steeper end. Its wheelbase of 1279 mm sits toward the longer end.
XL geometry
Riding position
With 545 mm of reach and 650 mm of stack, the frame has a relatively long, low proportion that should leave plenty of room when standing and put the front end toward the lower side of modern mountain-bike fit. Its 77.9° effective seat angle places the seated rider relatively forward, a layout that generally helps keep body weight centered on steep climbs.
Handling tendencies
A 64.9° head angle combined with a 1321 mm wheelbase points to 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.
Archive context
Its reach of 545 mm sits toward the longer end. The seat angle of 77.9° sits toward the steeper end. Its wheelbase of 1321 mm sits toward the longer end.
Across the size range
From SM to XL, reach grows by 105 mm and stack by 37 mm, showing how the frame becomes both longer and taller through the published size range. Chainstay length grows from 436 to 442 mm across the range. That size-specific rear-center strategy helps the larger frames grow at both ends instead of adding all of their length ahead of the bottom bracket.
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.
