It's still a pretty solid spec for the price, but this model was introduced almost 2 and a half years ago. At least they upgraded this model with a dropper post, but it's a cheapo with only 100mm of travel regardless of frame size.
That bike rumor write up is ridiculous. Do they honestly believe anyone thinks that the price will go up to $8K? Their skeezy marketing strategies make them look silly, and quite frankly, a little unprincipled.
