Unfortunately that is not correct. RC, FC, and WB are all horizontal measurements. CSL is the point to point measurement from center of BB to rear axle, and there's no name (or need) for the equivalent version at the front.

Great question. You'd think so, but no. Because the BB sits below the axles, and because FC and RC are measured from the center of the hub axle to the center of the BB, the FC and RC don't form a straight line. They form a slight "V" as they both dip down to the BB. Then you consult Pythagorus to get the exact difference in length. [Editor's note: This is wrong. See @kperras post below for full and correct explanation]

3/11/2026 11:24am Exactly. Also throwing these numbers in https://madscientistmtb.com/bike-geometry-compare/ you can figure out the rest and check the math. Chainstay length is 450.96 for that BB drop and RC length. Effective TT: 619.29, BB height 328 Fun fact: I bought their Heathen and had to use the same calculator to figure out chainstay length so I can cut the t-type chain properly...

Weight is probably the main reason on this bike. And personally I think it makes sense, a lot of short travel bike coming out now with frames weighing as much or more than 150mm bikes like Stumpjumper

Love the numbers on the Reya. Going to have to put my Epic 8 Evo up for sale I think!

It doesn't seem that low. New Spur has 39mm drop in high and 47 in low. Epic 8 evo also has it around 40 in low. Maybe they also spec 165mm cranks because they are focused on the downhill vs just being a quick climbing xc bike. At least for this bike, probably want to keep the bike light, so no adjustable chainstay.

Oh man oh man I want to see the weight on that reya. 450mm CS on a truly light bike would be insanely advantageous for tech climbing and huge backcountry missions. That said, quite bummed they chose to make the BB so low. Really should not be a thing on a bike in this class meant to shine on climbs. Gonna be offsetting some of the benefit of the long chain stays on tech climbs. Sad.

3/11/2026 5:50am It is refreshing to see a short travel bike without flex stays. This would be top of my list of I was looking for a full suspension down country bike.

I also have the flash 38 but it’s being tested by a media company right now so I have a loaner zeb. Intend doesn’t care to send media samples for testing so I loaned my own for testing.
