I’ve got a Swiss Cross V2. Not quite the Outback but has a lot in common. I can clear 42-43mm tires no problem, despite the 38mm rating. I think the Outback is a bit more than that.

It’s a very stable and comfortable bike. It’s fast but doesn’t feel fast. More like surprised that I just PR’d all my segments on a rest day sort of thing. I love descending on it.

I don’t like the way the rear derailleur cable routes over the top tube. It’s an unnecessary point f friction. The rear loop routes over the chain stay though, reducing friction, so it’s probably a wash. Or get electric shifting and forget about it.
