Hey guys,

Has anybody of you tried the 900er series, both v1 and v2?
How big is the frame difference in the 900er series between 2020 and 2019?
The v2 has a 10 mm longer chain stay and the whole bike is therfore 10 mm longer.
I have the chance to either buy a new 901 v2 2020 for 1600 or the the 905 2019 (testbike 50km used, also from the shop) for 200 less.
Main spec differences:
v1 - v2
Fork: RockShox Revelation RC 27.5" vs RockShox Sektor RL
Brakes: guide T vs TRP Slate, 4 Pot

the brakes of the 901 v2, I am a little bit sceptcal about. They got good reviews though but where I live, there are a lot of logner descents...
same rims, I dont care much about the shifting gear stuff, 901 v2 stuff is supposed to work, so i expect the same from the 905 v1.

901 v2:

905 2019/v1:

thank you
