Pros

32-inch wheels offer more stability and better traction than 29-inch wheels

The geometry is well suited to handle the added weight and bulk of bikepacking equipment

Well-made and lightweight metal frame, considering the added dimensions of 32-inch wheels

Full range of sizes

Cons

High front end that makes aggressive riding positions impossible.

Slack head tube that prioritizes stability at the expense of precision.

Long wheelbase that can make the bike feel like it lumbers up to speed.
