Descending
50
A solid all-round descender (67° head angle, 120mm) — capable in the rough and steep without being an all-out bruiser.

What the numbers mean on the trail
Computed from this bike's geometry, spec and build kit — reach, wheelbase, chainstay, head and seat angles, travel, motor, weight and the fork/tyre/brake spec — and worked out per size, because a fixed chainstay can make an S and an XL feel very different.
Size
Playfulness
59
A fair bit of pop, but happiest on flowing trail rather than trials moves.
Size balance
59
Rear-long with a planted front in L (FC:RC 1.60) — easy to weight the front and quick to turn, though it can feel light at the back at real speed.
Technical climbing
80
Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 5 and a steep 73° seat angle keep the weight planted over the front — a proper winch. 600W of peak power and 120Nm of torque — among the most powerful e-bike motors made.
No single standout trait — a balanced, versatile bike.
The numbers are well balanced for its category.
