Slacker head angle for more confidence on steep terrain
Steeper seat angle for improved climbing position
Shorter seat tubes across the size range
Proportional geometry and stiffness from XS to XXL
Flip chip retained but now better aligned with the new suspension feel
Ride feel improvements
More active and composed while pedalling through bumps
