A fair question. I can't really explain it however something I considered. The only thing I can determine is my balance on the new Toupe is different because my sit bones are supported differently. But you are correct. Logically it should work that way and it probably would...just feels better with a shorter stem and sitting a bit farther back on the saddle which is located about the same place on its rails compared to the older Toupe.
