pivot is impressively light, given the extra hardware. a single crown iteration would be kinda rad...
38-39 seems to be my sweet spot and I'm sure at the speeds they are going a little extra helps to keep course.
I added heavier parts to the V10.8 to get it up to 38..damn thing came in 35.7lbs ...that's too much pingpong deflection for me...

That said I'm checking on getting the new Phoenix,
Going to weigh options for a couple different rigs I want to ride next season and it's now top

Almost impossible to test in the field like the video above, but a front/rear balance test is probably more informative than weight alone.
Theres a reason why some riders are adding less weights to the bottom bracket area, and it’s not simply to increase weight.

I reckon a belt over an idler would actually work better than chain to be fair. Not sure why - could just be I need more coffee this morning. At any stage it would be quieter which is a nice plus
You don't actually take this for the truth, don't you?

german af bikes from bespoked dresden
you've seen that it has squared handlebars?
So the Germans are dictating your handlebar roll? No way!
My last German made frame had a hot date with the angle grinder.

That’s exactly my point. The highest they make is 6, but we ALL know the scale goes to 100.
They just don’t want you to know that.
However, a 180cm ‘jump height’ would be goddamn impressive on that stem, on an e-bike going 25KPH.

Aren't we supposed to hate it because trunnion?
What difference?
I thought you meant layout or something, rather than the builds which are price driven. That's always the compromise of a full build though isn't it. More annoying to me was the Norco frame only options I was browsing don't have the top level suspension option.
Yeah true, but everything else is exactly the same.
Price difference between alloy and carbon Deore bikes is $2100.
Price difference between alloy and carbon frames, which have the same shocks, is $1600.
So are you under paying for the alloy build or over paying for the carbon one? The price difference is even greater on the XT builds.
I read somewhere that the weight difference between alloy and carbon is 2.5 lbs. So that might have something to do with the price difference? that and carbon is the moar premium option?!Yeah true, but everything else is exactly the same.
