Velopedia analysis
What the specifications mean
The 455% cassette range describes the available gearing more clearly than the component-group name alone. The rims and tires are tubeless-ready, but that label does not confirm the bike is currently set up without tubes; tape, valves, sealant and tire condition still matter. On the alloy frame, dents and hairline cracks around welds, pivots and heavily loaded junctions matter more than cosmetic scratches.
Gearing
455% cassette range
Calculated from the published 11–50-tooth sprocket span.
Tire setup
Tubeless-ready
The rims and tires may support tubeless use, but the bike may still be running tubes.
Frame material
Aluminum / alloy
Dents and cracking around welds, pivots and loaded junctions deserve attention.
Bottom bracket
Threaded interface
Shell width, thread standard and crank-spindle interface still require confirmation.
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 →
- DrivetrainShift through every gear under light load and measure chain wear. Confirm that the shifter, derailleur, chain and cassette belong to the same 11-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 →
- Bottom bracketTurn the cranks slowly, feel for rough bearings and check for side-to-side play. Creaking under load deserves investigation but does not identify the source by itself.Inspect the bottom bracket and shell →

Geometry interpretation
What this geometry means
49 geometry
Riding position
The 563 mm stack is tall relative to the 365 mm reach, leaving room for a more upright, relaxed gravel position. A 74.5° seat angle puts the rider relatively forward over the bottom bracket, shortening the effective seated reach compared with a more relaxed seat angle.
Handling tendencies
A 70° head angle combined with a 1019 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 85 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 365 mm sits toward the shorter end. Its bottom-bracket drop of 85 mm sits toward the deeper-drop end. Its trail of 72 mm sits somewhat higher than typical.
52 geometry
Riding position
The 578 mm stack is tall relative to the 374 mm reach, leaving room for a more upright, relaxed gravel position.
Handling tendencies
A 70.5° head angle combined with a 1031 mm wheelbase points to moderate and balanced 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 85 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 bottom-bracket drop of 85 mm sits toward the deeper-drop end. Its reach of 374 mm sits toward the shorter end. The seat angle of 74° sits somewhat steeper than typical.
54 geometry
Riding position
A 387 mm reach and 592 mm stack give this size a middle-ground gravel proportion: neither especially stretched and low nor unusually upright.
Handling tendencies
A 71° head angle combined with a 1041 mm wheelbase points to moderate and balanced 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 85 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 bottom-bracket drop of 85 mm sits toward the deeper-drop end. Its trail of 65 mm sits toward the lower-trail end. Its stack of 592 mm sits somewhat taller than typical.
56 geometry
Riding position
A 400 mm reach and 610 mm stack give this size a middle-ground gravel proportion: neither especially stretched and low nor unusually upright.
Handling tendencies
A 71° head angle combined with a 1060 mm wheelbase points to moderate and balanced 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 85 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 bottom-bracket drop of 85 mm sits toward the deeper-drop end. The seat angle of 74° sits somewhat steeper than typical. The head angle of 71° sits somewhat steeper than typical.
58 geometry
Riding position
A 412 mm reach and 634 mm stack give this size a middle-ground gravel proportion: neither especially stretched and low nor unusually upright.
Handling tendencies
A 71° head angle combined with a 1081 mm wheelbase points to moderate and balanced 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 85 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 bottom-bracket drop of 85 mm sits toward the deeper-drop end. The seat angle of 74° sits toward the steeper end. Its reach of 412 mm sits somewhat longer than typical.
61 geometry
Riding position
The 659 mm stack is tall relative to the 425 mm reach, leaving room for a more upright, relaxed gravel position.
Handling tendencies
A 71° head angle combined with a 1102 mm wheelbase points to moderate and balanced 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 85 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 stack of 659 mm sits toward the taller end. Its bottom-bracket drop of 85 mm sits toward the deeper-drop end. Its reach of 425 mm sits toward the longer end.
Across the size range
From 49 to 61, reach grows by 60 mm and stack by 96 mm, showing how the frame becomes both longer and taller through the published size range. The rear center stays essentially constant at about 430 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.
