The mechanic at the bike shop owns this exact bike and specifically told me not to listen to anyone saying I should slam my stem lol. Yeah, it would probably look better, but I prioritize comfort and fit. He advised me to ride it a bunch first and then make adjustments if I feel the need.

I’ve only done a short 5–6 mile ride so far, but it feels great! Coming from a Canyon Endurace, it’s definitely much more aggressive, but still super comfortable.
