• Which begs the question, why buy that when you can buy mtb and fit rigid fork or suspension dependant on use.

    You can't run road or GRX gearing (at the front anyway) on an MTB. You can with that.

  • Agreed.

    But the would you want to ride such a slack ht on somewhere you need more than 38x10?

    As I say, be interesting to ride it.

  • I think it will ride better than you think, I made the switch from an Arkose with 72 head angle to 70.5 made a massive difference and oddly more fun on the road as well as off.

  • Yeah would be interesting to try how it would ride, would it try to flop to the side more than you'd want in a turn or just go straight or whatever. The slack angle will probably take rough gravel and other bumbs on a straight road better too, so they wouldn't bother you as much.

    The little pullers on both ends of the zips of bolt-on frame bag are maybe interesting too. Looks like a functional detail, but then again if the bag was attached with straps close the ens of the zip, there is no need for a puller like that to hold the bag. You can just pull the zip with one hand, even while riding. So that might be changing some usability with the clean looks and having no straps to interfere with cables or wear through the paint and carbon.
