100mm is hardly super long.
It turn out that the reach is actually 352mm and not 370mm as previously though, the super short reach were for the classic drop handlebar which have a very long reach.
I prefer a better weight distribution with a normal handlebar reach (for the bike size), it's lovely not having the back end too heavy like my previous bike with super short bar and 90mm stem.
Low trails = super nimble steering quicker than road bike but fine with front load.
