What the specifications mean
The fork provides the documented suspension, so fork setup and rear-tire pressure are the main adjustments for balancing the two ends of the bike. 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 436% cassette range describes the available gearing more clearly than the component-group name alone.
Suspension setup
Front only
Fork settings affect the front while rear-wheel behavior remains dependent on tire and wheel setup.
Wheel system
27.5 / 29 options
Both diameters are documented, but the archive does not prove a mixed front/rear setup.
Gearing
436% cassette range
Calculated from the published 11–48-tooth sprocket span.
Frame material
Aluminum / alloy
Dents and cracking around welds at the head tube, bottom bracket shell and dropouts deserve attention.
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 →- FrameLook closely for dents and hairline cracks around welds, the head tube and bottom-bracket area. Cosmetic scratches matter less than a change in shape or a crack line.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 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 →
- DrivetrainShift through every gear under light load and measure chain wear. Confirm that the shifter, derailleur, chain and cassette belong to the same 10-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.Check wheels and tires →

Geometry interpretation
What this geometry means
X-Small geometry
Riding position
The 601.9 mm stack is tall relative to the 400.6 mm reach, pointing to a more upright front-end position rather than an especially long, low cockpit.
Handling tendencies
A 68.6° head angle combined with a 1101.9 mm wheelbase points to quicker-steering and more responsive 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 head angle of 68.6° sits toward the steeper end. The chainstay of 439 mm sits toward the longer rear-center end. Its bottom-bracket drop of 62 mm sits toward the deeper-drop end.
Small geometry
Riding position
The 606.4 mm stack is tall relative to the 421.5 mm reach, pointing to a more upright front-end position rather than an especially long, low cockpit.
Handling tendencies
A 68.6° head angle combined with a 1124.7 mm wheelbase points to quicker-steering and more responsive 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 bottom-bracket drop of 62 mm sits toward the deeper-drop end. The head angle of 68.6° sits toward the steeper end. Its wheelbase of 1124.7 mm sits toward the shorter end.
Medium geometry
Riding position
A 444.4 mm reach paired with 611 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 68.6° head angle combined with a 1149.6 mm wheelbase points to quicker-steering and more responsive 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 head angle of 68.6° sits toward the steeper end. Its bottom-bracket drop of 61.9 mm sits toward the deeper-drop end. Its wheelbase of 1149.6 mm sits toward the shorter end.
Large geometry
Riding position
A 470.4 mm reach paired with 620.1 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 68.5° head angle combined with a 1179.4 mm wheelbase points to quicker-steering and more responsive 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 bottom-bracket drop of 61.8 mm sits toward the deeper-drop end. The head angle of 68.5° sits toward the steeper end. Its wheelbase of 1179.4 mm sits toward the shorter end.
X-Large geometry
Riding position
With 494.3 mm of reach and 629.3 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 68.5° head angle combined with a 1207.1 mm wheelbase points to quicker-steering and more responsive 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 head angle of 68.5° sits toward the steeper end. Its bottom-bracket drop of 61.7 mm sits toward the deeper-drop end. Its wheelbase of 1207.1 mm sits toward the shorter end.
Across the size range
From X-Small to X-Large, reach grows by 93.7 mm and stack by 27.4 mm, showing how the frame becomes both longer and taller through the published size range. The rear center stays essentially constant at about 439 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.
