Guards are a liability off road anyway. N+1, buy it and turn Arkose into dedicated commuter

Not really worth it TBH, especially since the brake literally need to come off in order to remove the wheel (compare to a proper lefty where you just need to loosen it and pull it out of the hook), they're very heavy too, especially the oddly suspension corrected fork where Cannondale isn't even selling one with a suspension.
Lastly, the geometry is completely different to the Arkose, which one are you talking about? it's a lots longer and taller, and most importantly, it got a massive trail of 99mm! it got a very short stem and flat bar for a reason.

Been looking at geos and the cannondale bad boy is near identical to the arkose. Wouldn’t mind putting drops on one for a cheaper slate knock off. Nearly 30mm more stack though so max slammage would be had.
Hmmm.
Couldn’t have guards n flaps for the winter though
