I am 5 9 with fairly short legs and had a large. The reach felt good (fairly long, although maybe not if you're a lot taller) but I didn't have enough stand over on it.

Just bought one of these second hand and I like it.
Steering is a bit twitchy though. Is this due to running a 51mm offset fork when the frame is designed for 42mm?

Do the stock builds come with 42mm forks?

Am I over thinking this?

Cheers

Better late than never... its designed for a 42mm offset fork. Not sure what that would change as far as stability goes?

Seems this year's trend is shorter offset which is to aid stability so yeah longer offset forks could make it feel a bit more twitchy

The Onza Jackpot is a 27.5 bike and the geometry says 42mm fork offset.
The Onza Payoff which is 29 also says 42mm fork offset.

Can you get 42mm offset 29er forks?

My wife's new Canyon 27.5 bike came with 42mm Rebas.
Maybe 42mm is for 27.5 bikes only and it is a copy and paste error from the Jackpot geometry chart.

Anyway, bike is riding well and I really like it 😀
