Just curious what your pedal clearance is? Mind seems like it's only about 3". I'm talking about when your fully sitting on the bike and your one leg is fully extended so that the pedal is closest to the floor/ground. I'm amazed by how low this is.
That’s roughly where everyone will be at, weight and suspension set up and crank length will make some difference, but not massive.
It’s the nature of a pedal bike.
If that gap was 9” imagine how high your bike would be.
