Specialized: "We’ve increased the frame’s reach, introduced a slacker head tube and a longer offset fork. All this creates incredible confidence with a planted feeling in the dirt, while spec’ing shorter stems keeps the overall cockpit length the same and the steering lively"
Those are the things that I think of to produce more stable steering, but sounds like it's already been done. Lower tire pressure?
Seems like the steering would be much more laid back than the other bikes in your sig line.
