Used-frameset inspection
If you’re buying this frameset used
Before buying: confirm the serial number and exact model, inspect frame and fork alignment, and inventory every included axle, hanger, clamp, headset part, cable guide and proprietary fitting.
Inspect the frame and fork →- 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 →
- Included hardwareInventory every axle, hanger, clamp, headset part, cable guide, frame plug and proprietary fitting included with the frameset. Confirm replacement availability before treating a missing small part as insignificant.
- AlignmentSight along the frame and fork from several directions. Confirm that the fork, rear dropouts, head tube and other visible interfaces appear straight; professional measurement is appropriate when alignment cannot be established visually.

Geometry interpretation
What this geometry means
The archived table contains multiple manufacturer geometry states. Velopedia preserves source order and analyzes each state separately rather than averaging the published values.
X-Small geometry
Configuration
Riding position
A 435 mm reach paired with 589.3 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 77.3° effective seat angle places the seated rider relatively forward, a layout that generally helps keep body weight centered on steep climbs.
Handling tendencies
A 66.3° head angle combined with a 1157 mm wheelbase points to fairly neutral for modern mountain handling 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 430 mm rear center is compact, which tends to make rear-wheel weight shifts and tight direction changes easier than a long-rear-center layout.
Configuration changes
Compared with Configuration 2, this configuration steepens the head angle by 0.3°.
Archive context
Its reach of 435 mm sits toward the longer end. The seat angle of 77.3° sits somewhat steeper than typical. Its stack of 589.3 mm sits somewhat lower than typical.

Its 77° effective seat angle places the seated rider relatively forward, a layout that generally helps keep body weight centered on steep climbs.
Handling tendencies
A 66° head angle combined with a 1157 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. A 430 mm rear center is compact, which tends to make rear-wheel weight shifts and tight direction changes easier than a long-rear-center layout.

Medium geometry
Configuration
Riding position
With 470 mm of reach and 607.6 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 77.3° effective seat angle places the seated rider relatively forward, a layout that generally helps keep body weight centered on steep climbs.
