I hope they keep it cable actuated only. It's working, it's affordable and it's a great option when your wireless dropper fails.

Review: 2023 Transition Smuggler - The Little Ripper
@devinkalt: Maybe it was working during the pandemic, but the market has now moved on and is in a totally different mood.
Not sure how you can expect to move bikes at these prices when other brands are offering more for less money.

Review: 2023 Transition Smuggler - The Little Ripper
Some manufacturers revised their pricing for 2024, Santa Cruz being one of them. It doesn't mean they're now affordable, but at least they're doing something trying to adjust to the market.
The 5010 GX AXS being 800$ CAD cheaper with pretty much the exact same specs as the Transition Smuggler GX AXS with better build quality, better paint, in frame storage and free bearings is definitely showing that Transition pricing structure is out of touch with the market.

Revenue Round Up: It's Not All Negative with Revenue Increases for Some in Q3
@kilz: To be honest first gen AXS is a miss : loud a hell as the body itself is moving on large impacts, weak clutch and parallelogram bushings are coming loose most of the time. All of this was fixed on T-Type so SRAM learned with this generation, but I would go GX/X01 mechanical over anything AXS first gen.

Revenue Round Up: It's Not All Negative with Revenue Increases for Some in Q3
@boonecycles: Some 2024 bikes are indeed on back order, but the delays are no where to be long as they were a few months ago. Now to have dealers begging manufacturers to bring prices up is something quite special considering current economy situation.
I guess you forgot the part where loans are really expensive, lay offs are starting with inflation hitting hard all through the economy. It's also currently really hard to sell a used bike to fund a new one or it'll sell much lower so you'll have less money for a new one.
Anyway, I wouldn't be that confident that consumers will rush to bike shops to buy bikes at full MSRP in the next few months even when summer will kick back in next year.
