How’s the stack height on that feel? I’ve got an XXL MT on order b/c I’m tired of having my bars at shin level, and SC seems like the only bike company that increases stack proportionally to reach.

It is fantastic. The MT hadn't been released when I ordered this or I would have gotten one. This by far has the tallest bar height of any bike I have every owned and I love it. I also have a 35mm rise bar on there to get the front end as high as possible and am running all of the factory headset spacers under the step. Having the tall front end makes it the most comfortable bike I have ever owned or ridden and I have no issues, climbing, descending, etc.

God that sounds pleasant. My current bike has a 637mm stack and even with 50mm risers and a startling number of spacers I still have to fold like Nino Schurter to stay on top of drops.

6ft 7. XXL 29er with a 210mm dropper post. It's not a small bike by any stretch.
