Mountain bike head tube angles are still trending slacker, particularly within the trail bike category. At a high level, a slack head tube angle improves downhill handling at the expense of climbing performance. Of course it’s important to consider a bike’s head tube angle in conjunction with the rest of its geometry but in general we want to know what you think about modern head tube angles.
Tell us why you think head tube angles are too steep or slack and give examples in the comments below. Do you have a specific cutoff?
