It's cool they fit different chainstay lengths to the frame sizes; a smart design element to normalize the ride quality across the size range.

Between wheelbase, chainstay length and trail, I'm reading the geo as being more towards high speed cruising than point-and-shoot athleticism. I can imagine this would be a nice gravel/dirt road bike that responds to pedal input nicely, but resists getting jostled by potholes and loose surfaces. It's probably less fun on pavement than dirt.
