Stever is perfectly correct, however technically proficient in communicating design intricacies the author is, he slightly misses the point in summarising how the whole assembly felt and rode like. Piebloke can fairly point out the the author had the bike for a while, but this statement should be very apparent from the text shouldnt have to be pointed out! Ive got one on order after having test ridden one for day at Innerleithen, and can say it felt far more confident at speed than my previous and much flashier 2010 Glory 0. It measures up (geometry wise) exceptionally similar to a Supreme DH.
