You have to reconfigure the tires sizes so both with 35mm tires for comparison. I know I can add larger tires to the Divide but wanted to see how the frames compared. I wish all manufactures would list all their bikes.

I've compared many bikes on bikeinsights. Very useful tool and can be rather eye-opening at times when one tosses away the marketing buzz and just looks at comparative geometry of various bikes. Lots of stuff has changed over the years and lots of stuff hasn't.

I'll keep an eye open and let you know if anything interesting pops up.
