XT components (except Cassette is SLX)
Dropper post
Thumb remote lockout for fork.
Compared to other similar bikes, better components and price.
Handlebars components can swing back and hit headtube in a crash. Hacked some foam and 3M electric tape on head tune for padding.
Cranks too long, manufacturers need to go shorter. Switched from 175mm to 165mm is perfect.
Aluminum instead of Carbon handlebar
Hubs are kinda unknown...can I upgrade the 3-Pawl to 54T Ratchet?
70mm stem too long, switched to Enve 50mm carbon stem.
Dropped post switch, needs to be in better location, have to stretch my hand/thumbs. A switch similar to fork lockout but above the handlebar would be better.
Came with SLX Cassette instead of XT
