So you mean it's not a competent descender.

As an example to how big difference this makes, consider two bikes with 65 degree HTA. One has Reach = 450, Stack = 640. The second has Reach = 465, Stack = 608. In terms of range of cockpit positions from the BB, adjusted by using stem spacers, these bikes have the same geometry with respect to the BB!
Btw the squidlock does nothing with the cables. It just adds middle position to both fork and shock and everyone argues whether the middle position is real or not. Anyway you will be very happy when you have remote lockout on a bike you actually ride hard up hill. Sweet side effect of this is that bigger portion of you ridea will be downhill.
However I ended up getting a Evil Offering - while the Evil doesn't pedal quite as well I'd say if the OIZ TR is a 9/10 the Evil is a 8/10 - the big difference is the Evil can truck downhill. It seems most modern 'trail bikes' will climb almost as well as 'XC bikes' but the 'XC bikes' fail to stay close to the 'trail bikes' on the downs.
For further context I had also spent some time on Ibis HD4, Ripmo and Trek Top Fuels & Fuel EX - I preferred the feel of the Evil.
It's all about having the tool that is right for your conditions.
It does look like he's running the 110/120mm SID though, but it's anyone's guess to what travel its actually running.

Not a word.
This madness has to stop !
68, not 78.
And it's ok, it's all people on bikes,and it's on a universe dar away.
Changing a head angle 1 degree either way doesn't fundamentally change a bike. It just makes the bike slightly better in one situation and slightly worse in another. Which compromise works best depends on your preference and your riding skill.
Personally, I find that modern XC bikes are more limited by what XC tires are capable of than what the geometry is capable of. And an XC bike with trails tires is just a crappy trail bike.
Come on now, 175 is borderline...
