That was on mobile. It does load on desktop though.

I'm not seeing anything exceptional. I also wouldn't call that a softtail; looks like tuned compliance via some sort of elastic insert, similar concept to many on the market already. It should work and if you can change out the insert to tune the stiffness to suit rider taste that would be better (Spec Diverge fails here - it was too soft and I found it caused me pedal bob depending on cadence/effort). It's specced with 42mm tires so tire clearance doesn't look huge, maybe enough for 45mm?

However, it appears to be 1x only, so no interest. Midwest gravel here, we draft and run pacelines on gravel at times so I absolutely love my road compact crankset and can't see giving that up until we get several more cogs out back.
