First Ride: 2021 Evil Wreckoning
@mikekazimer: How would you just alter the STA? Evil obviously wants the short CS, so you gotta make room for the wheel.. So you basically want to alter the geometry into a totally different bike? Isnt 77 Degrees pretty darn steep for a long travel 29er intended to be playful? I dont know the history of the grudge between PB and Evil, but this is getting stupid. This bike is not intended for climbing, but does so pretty damn well according to EVERY other media source out there. AND, if you want it to pedal even better, you can but a shorter fork on it, and and air shock with less sag. (or kink your elbows 2 mm....) Yes, Geometry is free. But according to trigonometry, a bikes figures is a compromise, and this compromise is what the brand/designer deems the best for its intended purpose...

@WalrusRider: Hear hear! I honestly mean that if you´re limited by the STA on your bike, you need to seriously improve your technique...

What is the hangup on STA? If you have a steeper STA you need to either have longer chain stays or longer front end. This makes the bike less nimble. When do you actually need a really steep STA? I mean, steeper than 77Degrees. When climbing? If you´re climbing technical stuff, you should be mostly out of the saddle, or move a lot forwards and aft on the saddle. On easy fire road climbs, you can just bend your elbows a smidgeon more. I you´re 190+ with a mega dropper, the point becomes more valid, but still... My opinion is that 77degrees is the absolute steepest I would ever consider going on a trail bike. Give it a rest with the STA hysteria. This bike is meant to shred downhill and make it uphill. STA is resultant of the other geo measurements, and probably the least important one. Silly of PB to focus so much on it. No one claims this bike is a rocketship climber. You got the Following for that....
