Descending
51
A solid all-round descender (66.5° head angle, 130mm) — 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
38
More planted than poppy — better on steep terrain than tight, fiddly singletrack.
Size balance
78
Rear-long with a planted front in L (FC:RC 1.68) — easy to weight the front and quick to turn, though it can feel light at the back at real speed.
Technical climbing
75
Shimano EP8 (DU-EP800) and a steep 75° seat angle keep the weight planted over the front — a proper winch. 500W of peak power and 85Nm of torque — a strong full-power motor.
No single standout trait — a balanced, versatile bike.
Brilliant on fast, rough, steep terrain; less fun on tight, mellow trails.
