Pinkbike Poll: Have Bikes Become Too Complicated?
yes bikes are getting more complex, but they are also becoming more specialized to the task. I think that the XX1 is a move toward hiding that complexity, and moving much of what is complicated about the bike out of sight and out of mind. Most machines as they mature generation to generation are going to do a few things such as become more task specific, complex, and intuitive. I think that we have seen bikes become very task specific and complex the next step is for them to become intuitive. I think that we are going to see more and more component that comes out requiring less adjusting by the actual rider.
