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. The electric-assist system adds another maintenance layer, especially battery condition, charger compatibility, motor operation and any available diagnostic history. 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.
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 →
- E-bike systemConfirm the main battery charges with the correct charger, locks securely into its mount and has no case damage, swelling, corrosion or overheating marks. Power the bike on from cold, test every assist mode and ask for available battery-health and diagnostic records.Check the battery and electronics →
- 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 →
- 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.
Small geometry
Riding position
At 453 mm of reach and 613.6 mm of stack, the frame is longer relative to its height, which generally creates more potential for a stretched, lower-front-end position.
Handling tendencies
A 63.9° head angle combined with a 1225 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.
Configuration changes
Compared with Configuration 2, this configuration steepens the head angle by 0.3°.
Riding position

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.
