I can compare it directly to a 2018 Glory which is what I'm coming off of. As far as the TR11, my buddy has one but I've only pedaled it in the parking lot, so I can only comment on geo at a very basic level. For the sake of discussion the Glory and TR11 felt fairly similar. The TR11 is a touch longer, but due to differences in cockpit setup felt slightly smaller to me. Both feel pretty agile side to side, are easy to move around and get the front end up.
Due to the chainstay lengthening effect of high pivots, I expected the Shore to take a lot more work to corner, however that hasn't been the case; it moves around pretty well. I do notice the longer wheelbase at sag a little, but it's actual impact on cornering radius has been minimal and it pays dividends at speed. I do notice the extra weight at lower speeds, my large frame plus DHX2 comes to 11.2 lbs on my digi bathroom scale. Getting the front end up for low speed wheelie drops or bunny hops takes a good deal more effort due to the chainstay lengthening.
