Velopedia analysis
What the specifications mean
Both 27.5- and 29-inch wheels appear in the record, but it does not establish a mixed front/rear build; confirm the correct diameter for the selected frame size. The 309% cassette range describes the available gearing more clearly than the component-group name alone. 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.
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 →
- DrivetrainShift through every gear under light load and measure chain wear. Confirm that the shifter, derailleur, chain and cassette belong to the same 11-speed system.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
49cm geometry
Riding position
The 507 mm stack is low relative to the 363.1 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 70.5° head angle combined with a 980 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 72 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 507 mm sits toward the lower end. Its reach of 363.1 mm sits somewhat shorter than typical. The seat angle of 75° sits somewhat more relaxed than typical.
52.5cm geometry
Riding position
The 368.3 mm reach and 546.6 mm stack form a moderate road-bike proportion, balancing cockpit length with front-end height rather than pushing to an extreme race-low or endurance-upright shape.
Handling tendencies
A 71° head angle combined with a 994.3 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 72 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 546.6 mm sits toward the taller end. The seat angle of 74° sits toward the more relaxed end. Its bottom-bracket drop of 72 mm sits somewhat shallower than typical.
54.5cm geometry
Riding position
The 372.1 mm reach and 565.6 mm stack form a moderate road-bike proportion, balancing cockpit length with front-end height rather than pushing to an extreme race-low or endurance-upright shape.
Handling tendencies
A 71° head angle combined with a 1004.7 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 72 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 565.6 mm sits toward the taller end. The head angle of 71° sits toward the slacker end. Its wheelbase of 1004.7 mm sits toward the longer end.
56cm geometry
Riding position
The 381.3 mm reach and 584.5 mm stack form a moderate road-bike proportion, balancing cockpit length with front-end height rather than pushing to an extreme race-low or endurance-upright shape.
Handling tendencies
A 71° head angle combined with a 1020.4 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 72 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 head angle of 71° sits toward the slacker end. Its stack of 584.5 mm sits toward the taller end. Its wheelbase of 1020.4 mm sits toward the longer end.
57.5cm geometry
Riding position
The 390.5 mm reach and 603.7 mm stack form a moderate road-bike proportion, balancing cockpit length with front-end height rather than pushing to an extreme race-low or endurance-upright shape.
Handling tendencies
A 71° head angle combined with a 1036.1 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 72 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 head angle of 71° sits toward the slacker end. Its stack of 603.7 mm sits toward the taller end. Its wheelbase of 1036.1 mm sits toward the longer end.
59cm geometry
Riding position
With 622.3 mm of stack against 399.8 mm of reach, the frame is comparatively tall for its length, giving more scope for an upright road position without relying as heavily on spacers or a high-rise stem.
Handling tendencies
A 71° head angle combined with a 1051.9 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 72 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 head angle of 71° sits toward the slacker end. Its stack of 622.3 mm sits toward the taller end. Its wheelbase of 1051.9 mm sits toward the longer end.
61cm geometry
Riding position
With 641.2 mm of stack against 407.8 mm of reach, the frame is comparatively tall for its length, giving more scope for an upright road position without relying as heavily on spacers or a high-rise stem. The 72.5° seat angle is relatively relaxed, shifting the seated position rearward and effectively lengthening the cockpit compared with a steeper seat-tube layout.
Handling tendencies
A 71° head angle combined with a 1066.5 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 72 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 head angle of 71° sits toward the slacker end. Its wheelbase of 1066.5 mm sits toward the longer end. The seat angle of 72.5° sits toward the more relaxed end.
Across the size range
From 49cm to 61cm, reach grows by 44.7 mm and stack by 134.2 mm, showing how the frame becomes both longer and taller through the published size range. The rear center stays essentially constant at about 415 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.
