Because thatās what this bike is designed for as a low-trail bike. Itās biased to handle weight on the front. Even fully loaded with two panniers it handles completely neutral. Itās almost unnerving how normal it feels. More stability climbing passes too is also nice bonus.
Iāve toured with both this and a more standard four pannier setup and this one is far better, IMO.
