Anyone have this one in their stable? Possibly parked next to their Bentley and/or Ferrrari collection?

Toying with the idea of buying a bike in the full suspension 120/130-ish frame travel, 140 fork travel persuasion. It's been a long winter in the basement and my wife is buying a new kitchen so I guess that means I can buy something new too.

I’m digging the orange/grey color. That’s a pretty penny but tech AF. I give you permission. You may buy it today.

Get the XT model for half the price and get a 2nd bike or motorcycle also. Same frame and wheels, similar drivetrain, weight and suspension, imo not worth the 5k more for X01 and 3/4ths of a pound weight savings.

Availability might be a real problem. My friend ordered a Top Fuel in November, expected in April. I think he's getting the XT version.

I heard Sram and Shimano 12 speed play nice together, and SRAM just lowered the price on AXS as an upgrade. You could get XT bike (personally I prefer the SLX brakes anyway) and add the AXS rear derailleur. Unless you wanna go full baller, then have at it. ;)
