If you don’t have a preference on the color of the suspension, I think that Elite Race has just as good of suspension, a workhorse drivetrain in XT, and the same carbon wheels all for $1,300 less. I assume both front and rear brakes are duel piston XT’s. Some people thing Shimano brakes have a wandering bite-point.
I’m interested to see what you get! It’s my favorite looking bike from Fezzari for sure.
