May as well start with it looking that way if I'm gonna use it.
Quite a few modern MTB and gravel things seem to have the kinked DT. I don't really like it but I do like the idea of stoopid-wide clearances - hoping fat tyres can make up for shithouse skills.
I recommend getting in touch with them, I think they can still do test rides from the barn at the moment. The ISO is surprisingly light for such a robust looking machine, and a giggle to ride.
I don't own one, to be clear, but have had the chance to play around with one.
Looks like it's been crashed
