Re: single pivot or Horst link The P1's geometry looks a bit old school to me. Steep head angle and slack seat angle make for a comfortable touring bike, but it'll be less suited for steep climbs and fast descends. And I wouldn't call the FM1001 "really slack". It's bang on with other contemporary short travel trail bikes. However, you could also run a 130mm fork instead of the recommended 140mm and get a 66 degree HA and 500mm reach.

The FM1001 will feel shorter though, at least when sitting in the saddle. The steep seat tube angle means a short effective top tube length and therefore a more upright pedaling position. I consider that a good thing, as long as it's not too short and your knees start hitting the handlebars. I'd say the XL should be perfect for anyone up to 190cm (6' 3") and an inseam of 90cm (35.5").
