Geometry defines how your bike rides, influencing your weight distribution, riding position and, ultimately, your confidence on the trail. In the last few years, most frame manufacturers have pushed hard to stay ahead of the curve, moving further towards ‘progressive’ slack and low geometry, without pushing into the realms of the absurd. However, aside from a few outliers, the curve seems to be...
