thinking about doing 1500w mid-drive on it...
bikeradar review says the frame tends to flex on sharp turns

one of the things i'm worried about is chainline clearnse as i plan to place a 48t chainring which should be about 45mm away from half the middle of the seat posts, i'm hoping it won't collide with the chainstay..
 
I would contact Ritchey by e-mail and ask them what is the largest chainring that can be used on the crankset that will still clear the frame.
( I am finding the problem of not enough clearance for a large chainring on most every mountain bike I research, let me know if you want to use a Full Suspension Frame, I the few that will work )

If not large enough chainring can be used, there are very good Cyclocross frames that will accept a larger outer chainring, and many of them last year and this year are disc frames.
 
well according to ritchey it was designed with 28/38/48 crankset in mind

but i don't know what that means standards wise as this is the current chainring distance i have now i have now
