I have one, it's really short even the long one is short

Mine has 140 revs on it with dropper & alfine

I'll happily say it's the best frame I've ever owned

I've had three 😳 including one replaced under warranty as the rear bearing seat cracked due to the omission of a couple of spacers at the factory.

Lovely little bikes and as podge says very short and chuckable (the shorter of the two sizes has an actual TT length of 20.5". Used u-turn Lyriks on mine and a 1x9 set up. Climbed fine but I never felt it was that plush on the downhills although I appreciate that's not what it's designed for - I'd imagine it'd ride great with a coil shock though.

I replaced mine with an Orange Blood - similar suspension design but without the concentric BB shell pivot - less travel but better suited imho to trail riding and a bit of DH.
