Velopedia analysis
What the specifications mean
The record establishes rear suspension without confirming a suspension fork, making shock condition and pivot play the relevant suspension checks. The mixed-wheel layout uses different front and rear diameters, so tires, tubes, rims and spare wheels are not interchangeable end to end. The 227% cassette range describes the available gearing more clearly than the component-group name alone.
Suspension setup
Rear only documented
The archived record establishes rear suspension but does not establish a suspension fork.
Wheel system
Mixed 29 / 27.5
Front and rear tires, tubes, rims and spare wheels use different diameters.
Gearing
227% cassette range
Calculated from the published 11–25-tooth sprocket span.
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 →
- 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 rear shock was last serviced. Check the shaft and seals for damage or oil, cycle the shock through its travel and test every suspension pivot for 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 7-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
The archived table contains multiple manufacturer geometry states. Velopedia preserves source order and analyzes each state separately rather than averaging the published values.
S geometry
Configuration
Riding position
The 624 mm stack is tall relative to the 412 mm reach, pointing to a more upright front-end position rather than an especially long, low cockpit. Its 77.9° effective seat angle places the seated rider relatively forward, a layout that generally helps keep body weight centered on steep climbs.
Handling tendencies
A 63° head angle combined with a 1230 mm wheelbase points to strongly 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 shortens reach by 8 mm and shortens the rear center by 5 mm.
Archive context
The head angle of 63° sits toward the slacker end. Its bottom-bracket drop of 17 mm sits toward the shallower-drop end. Its reach of 412 mm sits toward the shorter end.
