Here is the XLS clearance with 33c, the frame doesn't widen much to allow for 650b to really work, hopefully this new SL has fixed that.
Just realised it's a new model!

According to the spiel, they have increased the tyre and mud clearance on the SL. May drop them an e-mail re 650b, see what they say. I like the idea that its 'made for racing' as you say, rather than the Full Monty.
I love my Soma GR, but thinking a 650b which is more aggressive (and cheaper/lighter!), could be fun too, and also something I can feel slightly less precious about.
