Velopedia analysis
What the specifications mean
Suspension is concentrated at the fork, so fork setup and rear-tire pressure are the main tools for balancing front and rear behavior. Electronic shifting removes the usual shift cable but adds a separate battery and controls, while the 520% cassette range describes how much gearing is available. The archive does not identify the brake system, so its controls, actuation method, pads and braking surfaces need to be checked directly.
Suspension setup
Front only
Fork settings affect the front while rear-wheel behavior remains dependent on tire and wheel setup.
Drivetrain
Electronic · 520% range
Shift-system battery state joins derailleur setup and sprocket compatibility as a troubleshooting variable.
Brake inspection
Type not specified
Identify the installed system before choosing parts, cables, hoses or service procedures.
Frame material
Carbon / composite
Look for impact damage and clamp marks rather than metal-style dents or rust.
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 →
- BrakesIdentify the installed brake system before riding or ordering parts. Test every installed brake separately at walking speed, confirm it stops firmly and releases cleanly, then inspect its pads, braking surfaces and complete cable or hose path.Inspect the brakes →
- SuspensionAsk when the fork was last serviced. Check the stanchions for damage, look for oil at the seals and make sure the fork moves smoothly without bushing 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
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.

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.
