Here you go, bust the calculator out and work it out-

I was actually trying to so it manually, using rads and sin/cos/tan but I realised I couldn't do it one without the other.
Unless I'm missing something?

Hmm, dunno. Could you bung it in CAD and measure it that way? It can't be too far off the short Next Gen version though, surely :/

As a total guess I'd say the 16.5 is around 400 ish in reach and 18.5 420 ish. Like I say just a guess from remembering feel in comparison to my Slackline MK2 with 425 ish reach.

May be worth asking Stanton.

Not sure, never tried doing that in CAD. Might give it a go when I have time

It can’t be too far off the short Next Gen version though, surely :/

Some of the geo umbers are a bit different. I wondered how much effect they would have on these two. Mk1s are popping up for sale quite a bit - wondered about having a punt in one. Then I thought maybe everyone is selling them for next gen - for a reason!

May be worth asking Stanton.

Stanton Stu said they didn't have it on the computer but he could find it in the files - I couldn't ask him to go to that extent since it wasn't going to net them any business!

I remember looking for these a while back, from memory the mk1 is a little longer in reach than the "regular" mk2, but not as long as the "long" mk 2. Actually, details here :

Edit- sorry, realised that doesn't have reach and stack. In any case, I think my initial comments are correct, putting reach at about 408mm

@riklegge it was those numbers that made me curious - they are different by ~3-6mm and .5-.75°. I wondered what those changes did to reach and stack. Partly curiosity and trying to understand more about geo, partly n+1.
