First Ride: SRAM's New GX Transmission
At least the cranks look a little less likely to shave off the inside of your ankle. You couldn't pay me enough to ride the XO cranks.

Results: Dual Slalom - Sea Otter 2023
Easy for a keyboard warrior to criticize when you have no perspective or understanding. Your other posts reek of troll. You may not be aware but Historic levels of water hit CA in various forms this winter. Conditions for the build were challenging at the very least. That said, the courses for Slalom the last 2 years (built by StraitAcres) have had better racing and reception from the riders than for many years prior. They've been varied, technical and are suited to/reward a more well rounded rider. If you want to watch a BMX race, look elsewhere. MTB Slalom has more to it than berms and jumps.
Or, you could step up and volunteer to take over course design and construction. If you have no skin in the game, you have no say in how it's played.
