It is steeper than other bikes of the genre agreed. I suspect that it will
make the bike more rideable for most of the riding that we realistically do
and puts it at the all-rounder end of the Enduro realm over the decidedly more
DH oriented bikes out there.
It will also make the bike better to climb technical trails, which has been my
issue with some of its competitors that I've ridden. The type of riding I do
always has some sort of technical punchy climb to get up and the slacker head
angles make those bikes a handful to get up some of that stuff, especially
when they also tend to get deep into their rear travel without some kind of
lock out.
