I have obviously known about this for more than a year now....partially because the engineers designing this bike are local racers and they have been showing up at races with it a while now....stewart 45 last year, blue mtn last week, etc..

I got to try the 2.0 lefty out on the habit(s) and its a big improvement over my old 2012 xlr...thats probably what im looking forward to most.
Pretty nice price drop too!

So the carbon 2 is now 6k In 2012 my carbon 2 was 5600...But It came with sram cranks, elixrs, alloy lefty, arch wheels....Now it comes with carbon lefty, carbon wheels, hollowgrams, x1, actual brakes...Although now shimano brakes are garbage and sram brakes are good...no idea, I use formulas. Way more for your money now.
I like what they did with the pivot, looks like servicing it will be much easier now.
