Here's the geoemetry. http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/...enuItemId=9257

The head tube is longer, but the frame reach is not out of the ordinary. The frames have a little more slack head tube angle that slows the steering, but more fork offset that speeds it up. In my size, a 52cm, the steering trail is smaller (quicker) than a LOOK 585. The chainstays are longer and the front-center is a little longer, so the wheelbase is longer than a racing model.
