So, I'm looking at two bikes right now. The Boris X5 and the Salsa Heyday 5.6. Is there any real difference in geometry between these bikes? Also, if it's helpful at all, I'm looking to ride in winter and in snowy conditions. Is either one preferable for that?

Head tube angle is 69 for salsa and 70.5 for boris. Salsa is a bit more modern I’d say and will handle better when you get pointed downhill. I have a 68.5 on my bike and I wouldn’t want to go any steeper than 69 I’d say. They will both work but it depends on what you are used to etc. I’d recommend riding a few different bikes from the local shops if you can get an idea what the different geometries feel like
