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. Carbon construction changes the inspection emphasis from metal-style dents and corrosion to impact damage, ripples and overtightened clamp areas.
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.
Frame material
Carbon / composite
Look for impact damage and clamp marks rather than metal-style dents or rust.
Wheel standard
700C · 622 mm
The label fixes rim diameter, not tire width or available frame and fork clearance.
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 →
- 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
XS geometry
Riding position
A 375 mm reach and 550 mm stack give this size a middle-ground gravel proportion: neither especially stretched and low nor unusually upright.
Handling tendencies
A 69.5° head angle combined with a 1023 mm wheelbase points to calm and 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 78 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 chainstay of 423 mm sits toward the shorter rear-center end. Its bottom-bracket drop of 78 mm sits toward the deeper-drop end. The seat angle of 74° sits somewhat more relaxed than typical.
SM geometry
Riding position
A 390 mm reach and 564 mm stack give this size a middle-ground gravel proportion: neither especially stretched and low nor unusually upright.
Handling tendencies
A 69.5° head angle combined with a 1043 mm wheelbase points to calm and 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 78 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 chainstay of 423 mm sits toward the shorter rear-center end. Its reach of 390 mm sits toward the longer end. Its bottom-bracket drop of 78 mm sits somewhat deeper than typical.
MD geometry
Riding position
A 405 mm reach and 576 mm stack give this size a middle-ground gravel proportion: neither especially stretched and low nor unusually upright.
Handling tendencies
A 69.5° head angle combined with a 1063 mm wheelbase points to calm and 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 76 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 chainstay of 423 mm sits toward the shorter rear-center end. Its reach of 405 mm sits toward the longer end. The head angle of 69.5° sits somewhat slacker than typical.
LG geometry
Riding position
A 420 mm reach and 600 mm stack give this size a middle-ground gravel proportion: neither especially stretched and low nor unusually upright.
Handling tendencies
A 69.5° head angle combined with a 1087 mm wheelbase points to calm and 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 76 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 chainstay of 423 mm sits toward the shorter rear-center end. Its reach of 420 mm sits toward the longer end. The seat angle of 74° sits somewhat steeper than typical.
XL geometry
Riding position
The 435 mm reach and 612 mm stack create a relatively long, low gravel position, favoring a more performance-oriented posture over a distinctly upright one.
Handling tendencies
A 69.5° head angle combined with a 1108 mm wheelbase points to calm and 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 74 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 reach of 435 mm sits toward the longer end. The chainstay of 423 mm sits toward the shorter rear-center end. The seat angle of 74° sits toward the steeper end.
XXL geometry
Riding position
The 450 mm reach and 631 mm stack create a relatively long, low gravel position, favoring a more performance-oriented posture over a distinctly upright one.
Handling tendencies
A 69.5° head angle combined with a 1130 mm wheelbase points to calm and 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 74 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 reach of 450 mm sits toward the longer end. Its wheelbase of 1130 mm sits toward the longer end. The head angle of 69.5° sits toward the slacker end.
Across the size range
From XS to XXL, reach grows by 75 mm and stack by 81 mm, showing how the frame becomes both longer and taller through the published size range. The rear center stays essentially constant at about 423 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.
