will be a handful if your local tracks are tight, twisty, or flat with lots of tree gates.

For me, the stumpy evo's primary feature is adjustable geometry, and I just don't think I'm enough of a tinkerer to get the most out of that feature.

FWIW one of my bikes is the Fezzari Delano Peak, mentioned above, and it's a great bike and even better value.

Lead times are long now though so often the best bike for you is simply the one that's in-stock at the moment.
