 Well it has the same geometry as stock except that the BB height is 10mm lower. Front wheel is 650b and rear is 26.
The bike rides really well both at speed and in tight and slow stuff. The long wheelbase enables you to roll stuff you'd have to drop with a shorter bike and the long CS give you insane traction! The bike has 176mm rear travel so a 160mm fork doesn't feel unbalanced.
Only change I'm going to make is to steepen the head angle to 63º to make it more of an all rounder. Overall I'm very happy with the bike. Getting back on a "normal" size bike after riding mine make me think that we have all been riding bikes which are way too small for us!

 26" wheels and 160mm fork on an intended 27.5" downhill bike... you will never stop to try unusual geometries.
How does it ride ?
