The growing rear center, 4 unique rears is amazing. But the increasing seat tube angle is the most impressive.
As a tall lad, I have complained for years about how our effective seat tubes are so damn slack and I've always jammed my seat forward on zero offset posts. As seat tubes have gotten steeper I've been super happy, but they're often not optimized for XL or even XXL riders and so I'm still stuck with slacker seat tube angles. That a company recognizes this is breathtaking. However. I would have loved to see a reach of more like 500-505 on the XL but that is a personal preference for my 192cm with +3 ape index body.
The price is totally in line with this custom geometry, they are cutting no corners and saving no costs by bolting the same rear on all frames. I'm slightly relieved the XL is too small for my liking or I'd be explaining to my partner why I must have one.
