Decent deal. Considering this is carbon, electric, and full suspension. Price a bit too high for my taste though. 3K and im in!

I mean, Trek and other companies have sales on ebikes starting at ~$3.5K, so not that far off. Not full XT groupset, but full suspension. Lots of bikes in the $4K range at the moment, so this is not that great of a deal

Doesnt look remotely similar in terms of components. But I guess the price reflect it.

Yes, didn't mean to compare it to this deal but to show some examples that are closer to the $3-4k range for those. It wanting to drop almost $6k on a loaded bike

I would argue that a full power eMTB is the worst application to focus on having a carbon fiber frame...super strong carbon rims, yes, but for the strength of a different kind of component.

A carbon frame "buys" what? that kg of less weight? on a bike that is 23 -25kg before you put on double down or DH tires that are like 2kg extra front & rear alone?

I would be totally ok with an extra kg of weight if it kept $1K or more for me to spend where it actually counts. The motor will chuchu fine and you won't notice anything over your system weight being 115kg vs 114kg.
