Typically I don&#8217;t get along with long travel 29&#8243; bikes, so I felt surprised by this. The BB is low and the seat angle is quite steep, which should make the climbs manageable. The reach is quite long and the head angle is on the slack side, but the front end doesn&#8217;t feel too far away, thanks in part to the short offset fork. All in all, I didn&#8217;t feel like I was trying to mount a horse.
