The Moxie is almost interesting - it has sliders, modern geo, and a 65.5-HTA (sagged) w/ a 140mm fork. And because they make the effort to list the sagged HTA.
But, then I can’t figure out why anyone would want a 77-STA on a hardtail - and then it gets steeper with sag! And if it makes sense on an XXL then that just doubles up on the reason to have size specific STA-effective numbers. I get that I’m behind the times on my STA preference on FS bikes but at least with the saddle pushed back they sag enough going uphill to get in a good power position.
Anyways, apologies for the rant but it boggles my mind. I can’t believe that non of the good dropper posts have a 25-35mm setback option as a work around for folks with femurs that want a fresh bike.
Happy New Year!
