Tipping over backwards

Sounds like just moving your weight will do the job.

You could try inverting your stem which will lower your hand position by an inch or two to help take the weight forward.

Nice bike too, ive two scott scales myself and love them. Light and fast.

Yeah its a great bike, rider lets it down tho. I've covered circa 40k on road in the last 6 years but less than 1k off road meaning I struggle a bit. Getting better however!

Doing the classic eye line to hub test the bars are a bit close, when looking down the bar is a few cm behind the hub. Slightly longer stem should help a little.

Forget that rubbish. Its not a road bike, the same rules do not apply.

My hub is waaay in front of my bars on my correctly fitting MTB.

Aswell/instead of fitting a shorter stem, wider bars would give the same weight forward benefit while also improving control.

Technique, technique, technique. Weight on the nose of the saddle, upper body low over the bars. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk4AVVR-OyQ @ 0:38s shows you how
