Yes. The extra longest required a little more effort to get it started but I found it easier to hold than my previous bikes. On the trail (out of corners etc.) it required a more concentrated effort, but once comfortable on the bike it would have been no big deal. The first ride on the longest presented no issues and it manualled out of corners etc. with no extra thought. On flats/roads it was easy. I don't find it holds back any dynamic trail movements like lifting and hopping when at slower speeds. It's actually quite a lively ride.
