I really really like the new pivots.
Like REALLY like them.
But fuck me dead that pricing is nuts.
Passed a new pivot switchblade up a pretty steep, blown out fire road climb the other day, a fancy XTR spec one so it cost an absolute fortune.
Turns out an $11k mtb is not as fast as my $8k e-bike! Wasn’t even pushing it, just a recovery liason stage before I dropped into a single track loop.
Yes I’m allowed to ride my registered bike there, I don’t know why a guy was mtb’ing in a well known moto spot. He wasn’t pissy and I didn’t roost him or fly past at mach chicken, calm down haakers.
MTB cost too much nowadays. It’s very, very dumb. Won’t be upgrading my spitty till I do a moorey and break it, and even then I might spit the dummy and go back to SS hardtails.
