Velopedia analysis
What the specifications mean
Suspension at both ends means fork and shock setup should be considered together; mismatched sag or rebound can leave the front and rear reacting very differently. The mixed-wheel layout uses different front and rear diameters, so tires, tubes, rims and spare wheels are not interchangeable end to end. The 510% cassette range describes the available gearing more clearly than the component-group name alone.
Suspension setup
Front + rear
Fork and shock pressure, sag and rebound should be balanced and recorded independently.
Wheel system
Mixed 29 / 27.5
Front and rear tires, tubes, rims and spare wheels use different diameters.
Gearing
510% cassette range
Calculated from the published 10–51-tooth sprocket span.
Brake service
Hydraulic disc
Pad and rotor condition plus the correct bleed fluid are the primary service checks.
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 →
- BrakesBoth levers should feel firm and return cleanly. Check for fluid around the levers and calipers, inspect pad thickness and contamination, and look for worn or bent rotors.Inspect the brakes →
- SuspensionAsk when the fork and shock were last serviced. Check the stanchions for damage, look for oil at the seals, cycle both units through their travel and test the suspension pivots 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 12-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. If it is set up tubeless, confirm both tires hold pressure and ask when the sealant was last refreshed.Check wheels and tires →

Geometry interpretation
What this geometry means
S1 geometry
Riding position
The 605 mm stack is tall relative to the 415 mm reach, pointing to a more upright front-end position rather than an especially long, low cockpit. Its 77° effective seat angle places the seated rider relatively forward, a layout that generally helps keep body weight centered on steep climbs.
Handling tendencies
A 64° head angle combined with a 1168 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. A 427 mm rear center is compact, which tends to make rear-wheel weight shifts and tight direction changes easier than a long-rear-center layout.
Archive context
The head angle of 64° sits toward the slacker end. Its stack of 605 mm sits somewhat taller than typical. Its wheelbase of 1168 mm sits somewhat longer than typical.
S2 geometry
Riding position
A 440 mm reach paired with 609 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° effective seat angle places the seated rider relatively forward, a layout that generally helps keep body weight centered on steep climbs.
Handling tendencies
A 64° head angle combined with a 1195 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. A 427 mm rear center is compact, which tends to make rear-wheel weight shifts and tight direction changes easier than a long-rear-center layout.
Archive context
Its trail of 134 mm sits toward the higher-trail end. The chainstay of 427 mm sits toward the shorter rear-center end. Its reach of 440 mm sits somewhat longer than typical.
S3 geometry
Riding position
A 465 mm reach paired with 618 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° effective seat angle places the seated rider relatively forward, a layout that generally helps keep body weight centered on steep climbs.

A 427 mm rear center is compact, which tends to make rear-wheel weight shifts and tight direction changes easier than a long-rear-center layout.
Archive context
Its reach of 465 mm sits toward the longer end. The chainstay of 427 mm sits toward the shorter rear-center end. Its trail of 134 mm sits toward the higher-trail end.
S4 geometry
Riding position
With 490 mm of reach and 627 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. Its 77° effective seat angle places the seated rider relatively forward, a layout that generally helps keep body weight centered on steep climbs.

S5 geometry
Riding position
With 515 mm of reach and 636 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. Its 77° effective seat angle places the seated rider relatively forward, a layout that generally helps keep body weight centered on steep climbs.

Across the size range
From S1 to S5, reach grows by 100 mm and stack by 31 mm, showing how the frame becomes both longer and taller through the published size range. Chainstay length grows from 427 to 432 mm across the range. That size-specific rear-center strategy helps the larger frames grow at both ends instead of adding all of their length ahead of the bottom bracket.
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.
