In the XXL, they're at 485mm. I'm 6;2", +3 Ape Index. Not fully ideal, it's more in the 'nimble/responsive' category, but the 452mm CSL makes it all work for stability purposes, at least in that size. I could definitely go with more, but it's an area where lengthening fork A2C, maximizing stack, and running stupid-wide bars make it fit pretty adequately, although I do have to run some dorky looking brush guards to keep from punching every single cactus in a 20km radius.
I'd absolutley take some more reach and slacker HA, but being in 66° range with >475mm makes it eminently rideable, to the point where having carbon everything does counteract any of that, I can still be in full attack down stuff I barely have any business riding.
