Velopedia analysis
What the specifications mean
Suspension at both ends means fork and shock setup should be considered together; mismatched sag or rebound can leave the front and rear reacting very differently. Electronic shifting removes the usual shift cable but adds a separate battery and controls, while the 510% cassette range describes how much gearing is available. Carbon construction changes the inspection emphasis from metal-style dents and corrosion to impact damage, ripples and overtightened clamp areas.
Suspension setup
Front + rear
Fork and shock pressure, sag and rebound should be balanced and recorded independently.
Drivetrain
Electronic · 510% range
Shift-system battery state joins derailleur setup and sprocket compatibility as a troubleshooting variable.
Frame material
Carbon / composite
Look for impact damage and clamp marks rather than metal-style dents or rust.
Wheel standard
29 in · 622 mm
Rim width and frame or fork clearance remain important beyond nominal diameter.
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 frame in bright light, especially around the head tube, bottom bracket, chainstays and clamped areas. Look for cracks, ripples, crushed sections or signs of a previous impact.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 →
- 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.Check wheels and tires →

Geometry interpretation
What this geometry means
SM geometry
Riding position
The 597 mm stack is tall relative to the 407 mm reach, pointing to a more upright front-end position rather than an especially long, low cockpit.
Handling tendencies
A 66° head angle combined with a 1130 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 407 mm sits toward the shorter end. Its wheelbase of 1130 mm sits toward the shorter end. The seat angle of 74.3° sits toward the more relaxed end.
MD geometry
Riding position
A 440 mm reach paired with 599 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.
Handling tendencies
A 66° head angle combined with a 1170 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 stack of 599 mm sits toward the lower end. Its reach of 440 mm sits toward the shorter end. The seat angle of 74.5° sits toward the more relaxed end.
XM geometry
Riding position
A 463 mm reach paired with 617 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.
Handling tendencies
A 66° head angle combined with a 1201 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
The seat angle of 74.8° sits toward the more relaxed end. Its reach of 463 mm sits somewhat longer than typical. The head angle of 66° sits somewhat steeper than typical.
LG geometry
Riding position
With 484 mm of reach and 625 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.
Handling tendencies
A 66° head angle combined with a 1228 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
The seat angle of 75° sits toward the more relaxed end. Its reach of 484 mm sits somewhat longer than typical. The head angle of 66° sits somewhat steeper than typical.
XL geometry
Riding position
With 509 mm of reach and 635 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.
Handling tendencies
A 66° head angle combined with a 1263 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
The seat angle of 75.3° sits somewhat more relaxed than typical. Its stack of 635 mm sits somewhat lower than typical. The head angle of 66° sits somewhat steeper than typical.
Across the size range
From SM to XL, reach grows by 102 mm and stack by 38 mm, showing how the frame becomes both longer and taller through the published size range. Chainstay length grows from 432 to 440 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.
