I think you are right.
Remember when compact frames were all the rage a few years ago. For a given size, using shorter tubes for the front and rear triangles made for stiffer frames? I wonder if the opposite is happening here with that long and wide rear triangle. What happens when a 225lb/102kg guy twists 2,500W through there?
