First Ride: 2022 Specialized Kenevo SL - The Electric Enduro
Specialized knows that people will pay it. You're paying for the name.
I bought an Enduro s works for half price. Retail was 10'500. I absolutely do not believe it's worth the MSRP. Not a chance. Even at half price I consider it to be just fair. You're definitely paying for the name with specialized.

High end bikes are generally intended to be purchased by rich people. This bike is for those rich people that can easily afford it. My cap is 6k cad for a bike...insane to think that's cheap these days.

Bike Check: Reece Wallace's Custom, 90s Themed Giant Glory
@luckynugget: I managed to snag one of the last remaining 2021 27.5 commencal Supremes. Now discontinued as they are replaced by the mullet. Shorter guys like me (5'5") may not like 29 so we're running out of options. mullet is just too much for me to handle

This is definitely subjective. 6 hours is my sweet spot for good sleep. Anything more and I feel like crap

That's why I only work for union companies. I hurt my hip 2 years ago and before that I was off for 2 months due to eye surgery. Got back to work and started exactly where I left off. Prior to this several years ago I was off work for almost 2 years due to a bad car accident. Same thing, I was back right where I left off.

I would think professional bikers (and athletes) would have disability insurance. Mine covers me even if I hurt myself biking for up to a year. I know more serious injuries take longer than a year to heal but it's better than nothing
