try it. it suits me much better, I don't have the feeling that the bike is big and it is more agile, and much better grip on the front wheel.
How's the pedal clearance? Do you need shorter cranks? Also makes it lighter (not that it matters) and stronger 27.5 rear wheel 😁

BB is 345-350mm, smaller by 5-7mm.
I drove with 165mm cranks and had no problems, just in case I bought 160mm cranks.
the weight is slightly less, but you can feel that the bike is more agile. I had a wheel and a tire, so I tried it and it turned out well.
before the mullet I had the feeling that there was not enough grip on the front wheel, now it is much better.

I would do it more to drop the head angle, but from what you're saying there are only advantages, thank you 😁

as for the weight, I would try a 500wh battery, saving almost 1.5kg. now my bike is 27 kg with coil shock and enduro inserts in the tires. if I return the air shock, take out the inserts and a smaller battery, I hope that it could support under 25 kg.

I don't know if anyone tried to reduce the weight of the deft a little.

Mine in size M is currently at 26.3 (came with Fox 38s) with the factory DHF on the back, a 1290g Kryptotal on the front and platform SPD pedals. I think it's very difficult to drop the weight too much below 25kg. I did some calculations with lighter wheels, tires, dropper, carbon handlebars, XT cassette, flat pedals and I would lose ~1kg, but with the mullet setup could be even more

Also, do you happen to know what the offset of the chain ring is, I'm looking into an O chain (52/54) and I don't know which to order.
Thank you
