I am not an expert, but doesnt a sloped top tube allow a smaller rider to ride a bigger frame?

I’m digging the XXL sizing! Finally, another major manufacturer stepping up to the plate.

Let’s start a pool. What will the *real* weight be when production frames arrive?

If guys use 120mm fork on the front, just like on Pivot 429, we need 5″ option – not substitute- so that eveyone could choose between 3,4,5 and 6″ 29ers from SC, perhaps someday 7″. Why most big companies roll only one 29ers or maximum two which consist of one SS Alu and one HT also alu? 4″ Carbon is a progress, but why they release only one 29er? Sort od David Turner policy?

I assume the measurements are based on a 100mm fork. If it accepts 120 forks (e.g., Blur XC carbon ), you big guys could use a 120 through axle fork and get another .5″ or so of ground clearance while adding travel and stiffness. That would be my setup for New England rock gardens anyway.

My only issue is that I once again find myself between SC sizes. The medium ETT of 23″ is at least .5″ short of all other 29er FS bikes I’ve seen.
