…with the following upgrades:

-Oneup Components 90mm dropper post
-Race Face Next SL Crankset, 175mm, with Race Face 30T Chainring
-Brand new Newman Aluminum bar and spare Newman Evolution 60 mm stem (stem mounted is stock, 80 mm)
-SRAM Guide brakes....because the stock LEVEL brakes truly do suck.

I bought this bike in 2019 to race in X-Terra triathlons. It’s been raced 4 times (90 minute races), and trained on less than 30 times. Never crashed, never used as a primary mountain bike (I ride mostly enduro), never used for long, epic, or overly technical riding.

Tire setup: Maxxis Ikon XCO, Tubeless.

Weight estimate: I don't have a scale to hang this from, so went old fashioned and just used my bathroom scale. Weighed myself not holding bike twice, and holding bike 4 times. Taking the heaviest weight holding bike, subtracting the lighter of my two without holding the bike, came to 21.2 lbs (no pedals).

It’s a fast AF XC race bike. The dropper post is a huge upgrade. Had to change suspension lockout to the Fox thumb shifter on right to accommodate e-thirteen dropper post lever on left. Not terribly aesthetic, but super effective and easy to use.

This bike has one surface scratch and some minor scuffs, like along the crank arms due to ankle rub. It’s in great shape. Headset and BB just overhauled in fall.

Serious offers only, please. Respect my time with clear communication, if you can’t do that and your game is to offer and ghost, just save us both the time.
