Honestly that's a bit of a BS answer. The whole "well it's good enough for
XXXX" is a pretty one way route for innovation, and takes no account of what
she is actually running for a HTA. Bike companies have plenty of history of
running slack HTAs for racers and production bikes with steeper HTA for the
joeys. Eventually we get there, as we've seen with DH bike HTAs over the last
few years.
I don't think that it's fair game to tout your new bike as EWS ready/slacker
etc etc and then have some half baked 66.6 HTA (I'll give them that - it's
66.6 according to their numbers when run with a proper fork). That's just not
a current geo choice, as I pointed out in my first post. It's a perfectly
*acceptable* number for general pedaling around, but it's not *slack* and it's
not *EWS*.
