XO complete. (Yes, this is set up as a geared.)
Bottom Line:
If you can buy one, get it. Don't worry about the cost. It will only escalate in value. This 21" bike has been through all the Wasatch Range trails, all San Diego area trails like Mission Trails. All Portland area trails. I weigh 210 and this hold the line better than any other hardtail. I am running a Fox Float 100 on the front. Avid mech on the front, Ultimates on the rear. XO drivetrain/shifters with XTR FR. Chris King headset of course.
