Hey man, thanks for the info. I'm not one for the modern trend of super long bikes like the Mondraker, despite what's "chic" and trending and have noticed a lot of those pro porting them are on a size or 2 smaller than they would normally be, great though for really tall riders, so interesting that you're on the size I would recommend for a person your height or at least think should be sized for someone your height - Large that is.
Your Range is about the same size as my Prime and Unit, interesting to see you were comfortable with the extra about inch of Reach at 6ft. I'm 6'2.25" with long arms and legs (35.25" inseam) and 480ish is about my limit with a 40-50mm stem. You didn't feel like you had to concentrate /put more effort into weighting the front end to keep it from pushing out?
My riding style is different from yours, I like the tech, but slower and not really a jumper, so maybe it's the high speed thing.
