Historically, there's nothing 'normal' about this - it's basically early 'progressive' and is the form modern XC bikes seem to be converging on - but with very short stems and longer wheelbases. So, then, progressive. IIRC my OG slackline had a head angle of around 68 which was considered wild back in 2011.
So yeah, just get a Chisel or whatever XC bike if you can't stomach what Speci do.
