Just got a dirt jump bike for the first time and coming from a Nukeproof Mega the reach feels very long with a 60mm stem (will be switching to 40mm) and the front end feels very high, even with one 5mm spacer and a zero rise stem. Is this normal and I just have to get used to it or is the geometry strange? It's an Octane One Zircus

How much rise have your bars got? How much travel have the forks got? Higher is better for dirt jumping anyway!

20mm rise bars, forks were at 130 but I'm lowering them to 110. I thought the 130mm would probably soak up the lip too much but idk

110mm or lower if you can; that will definitely imrpove things
