Why even ask when you've already made your choice? And geo wise, maybe they built it like a road bike; it does have a tall headtube. It doesn't necessarily mean it's any better for "training" than any other type of bike. If you're training long distance, you're better off with a geared bike. If you're training for track racing, you're better off with a bike with more of a track geometry. In those cases, this bike would actually be bad for training.
