Rake angle measured approx 27 degrees which is same as (and in approx range of, give or take a few fractions of a degree) most other current bikes. YZ250 YZ250F CRF, and also the Beta 2T range uses a 27 degree rake frame.

In comparison, alot of the 4T bikes are running a 32mm offset lug and 20mm triple clamps. The Beta 2Ts run a 35mm offset lug and 20mm triples. The ECs use a 35mm offset lug and 22mm triples.

Glenn reported the -3mm offset to be too much on the Beta, however given that the Gasser starts off +2mm ahead of the Beta it may work out being an overall improvement.

Thinking about my comments earlier about how I never scoot up the seat on the bike, I do find myself riding on the pegs, head well over the bars quite a bit though. I'm definitely not stressing over the change yet.
