It really doesn’t seem like rocket surgery does it?
Steeper STA for taller riders to optimize position up in the clouds... similar position over the BB for shorter riders with a slacker STA that helps get the saddle away from the rear tire.
Don’t interrupt said seat tube with pivots or bends and all of a sudden min 150mm posts are possible for short riders as well. It’s really no different than how desirable straight seat tubes were pre-dropper posts and plenty of companies found a way then.
And if folks are happy with less then great. Give them the option. Heck, in the context of this launch give them the Vario and they don’t need to spend a dime to change the travel.
