Looking at a Spire (or Patrol as the numbers look like they might be better) to run alongside the ebike.
I like everything about it on paper EXCEPT for its wheelbase.
The chain stays on the Size L are 446/448 vs my S4 Levo's 442 which suggests its rear end might feel good, but then the wheelbase is 1287 / 1289 vs my Levo's 1262 (maybe longer now with a 170 fork)
That is a considerable increase in length given I feel like the Levo geo is really good, fits me really well and feels great to ride. Would that feel like steering battleship round tighter turns? I enjoy dragging the Levo's arse end about in a fast tight corner, its great fun. Worried this will be awful. That said some times the Levo feels too much bike on a tame trail
I know its a big bike, its mainly the wheelbase number that puts me off. If that were a little shorter I'd have bought one by now.
