XT is equivelant to Sram x0. And your getting the XT brakes. Anymore questions?

He is getting a TransAM, Flow wheelset, Rockshox Sektor RL with a 20mm thru axle Solo Air, Full XT drivetrain and brakes, and running Purgatory 2.3 tires setup tubeless. His life is looking good for the fact that the entire build is only about $1400.

Am I right or am I right? Somebody tell him cause he doesn't believe me on how sick this bike is going to be. Facepalm

The velvet is awesome.

My buddy;s got a transam with an x-fusion slant set at 160mm, and I use to have one with a marz 55 at 160mm. I'd say if you're doing general trail riding, 140-150mm should be fine, but if you are planning on doing any aggressive riding, go 160, as the head angle on these frames are relatively steep. Also, yes slx brakes are boss. Have them on both my bikes right now.
