I guess the long reach might be because they expect you to use a shorter stem for offroad handling. The Canyon Grizl has a 20mm longer reach than my Endurace in the same size with 1mm difference in the stack. But it comes with a 20mm shorter stem so position would be basically the same.
The stack on Planet X bikes always seems super low though - always been way too small for me to buy one.
Oh that's interesting. How do you mean? Sorry for my ignorance. Too road race bike like? Reach too long?
