I looked at the XO1 spec for the Mojo 3 and it uses an X1 cassette, which is cheaper and heavier than the XO1 1195. The effective price difference for the XO1 kit and XO1 Eagle is less than $300 because the Eagle kit has the much higher end cassette.

Good catch. That probably applies to the chain as well.

Guessing that doesn't make up the entire price delta, but it's definitely part of it. In any event, it's interesting to see how other companies are handling the issue.

It was not. Measured it now after raising it and it's ten inches from seat collar to saddle rails.

Is dropper post set at height for you in pic? I have same inseam but at 5'11" tall.

Can one get that 17mm cup to run it on 429T with 27.5+?

you sure can. just make sure you have at least an extra 17mm of steertube to work with.

Nice,only an inch more then my large Mach 6! Looking good for the medium!!!

any word on when the next batch will come out? would really like a new bike for the fall riding season.

still can't decide on 27+ or 29.

We have air shipments scheduled nearly every week. Plenty in the pipeline, we just hope DT Swiss can keep up with wheels, and Race Face with cranks.

Could someone who's got one of these take a specific picture for me? I'd like to see what the chainring - chainstay clearance looks like. I think a shot looking straight down would work best. Please note what size ring you've got mounted too.

Wondering if 56mm is the minimum chain-line or if a slightly narrower chain-line crank (with the correct q-factor) would work. Getting parts together and the Race Face Aeffect cranks are out everywhere.

Thank you! Are my eyes deceiving me, or is that ring not flipped? I thought these Cinch rings had to be flipped to bring the chain-line outboard?

Noah, your eyes do not deceive you. I believe only when using a boost Aeffect crank (135ish mm spindle) do you flip the ring... due to its spindle length. However, when using a super boost Aeffect (longer 144mm spindle) there is no need to flip the ring

I think I read that for the Next SL cranks Raceface made a longer axle because the Next cranks are a lower Q-factor than the Affect. I just looked it up as I couldn't remember where I read this.

The Turbine crank with the standard spindle will also work with the ring flipped. Just not the Next without the new longer spindle.
Edit: The Next cranks will not work unless you use the 143 spindle.

 

[motoguru2007]

I just checked out a blue 27.5 2x at LBS, nice bike super beefy lots of tire clearance. A bit heavy heavy with those 551 rims and 2x tho..gotta be pushing 30 lbs. for a medium.

Any weights yet?

 

[flyinmike]

The rear hub needs a crank with a 56mm chain line. Boost hubs need 52 and and non boost 49mm.

This can be accomplished on the Raceface crank Aeffect and Turbine crank by flipping the offset chainring. But other cranks, and Sram in this case will need a new version.

please correct me if I'm wrong as I'm totally shooting from the hip

SRAM direct mount standard ring is a 6mm offset
SRAM direct mount Boost ring is 3mm offset
SRAM direct mount BB30 short spindle is 0mm offset- "flat"

wolftooth ring
absoluteblack ring

I've been running the flat 0mm offset direct mount ring with a SRAM GXP spindle on my 29+ bike without any issues

Would not this crank setup yield a 55mm chain line?

 

[manitou2200]

Ok, I have a spare Next SL crank in the box. So I pulled the ring and flipped it. The difference from the back of the crank arm with the ring flipped is 6.5mm. The Next with the ring in the offset in, (normal position) is 51mm so flipped ring CL will be 57.5mm and that is also what the RF Q-factor chart states. So it looks to me like the Next with the 134mm spindle and ring flipped will work with Superboost.
Edit: The chain line would work but the Q-factor is too narrow, it's 168 and needs to be 173 minimum. The 143 spindle is required for these cranks.

It's the Q-factor, and not so much the chainline, on SRAM cranks that is the issue at the moment. They have a 168mm q-factor and to be run on a Switchblade it requires at least a 173mm Q.

LBS got two mediums in today and built up the 29 version, black and red, walked out the door with it. Had them put a zero degree Bontrager Rhythm 60mm stem which they traded off. Came with the Fox dropper. I'm 5' 11" with 33" inseam and fit it perfecto ! And a hell of a great deal to boot!!!

 

[invol2ver]

They are coming with the fox dropper now?

Evidently,see how it holds up but works nicely. Have Lev on Mach 6 and had mixed success with it,sent back several times with issues but has been good since last time.
