For XCM/XCO type use which makes more sense, the slightly less weight and generally better kit or the Full Suspension? bearing in mind the extra cost of the full suspension bike

And does anyone have any idea when the 2022 versions will appear?

From what I’ve heard, the Supercaliber shock isn’t all that reliable…

Theres a big SuperCal thread on the Trainer Road forum that'd be worth a read, lots of experiences positive and negative have been added.

MrMO the Supercaliber is amazing as a XC bike saw you earlier bottom of Sandy Lane it should never work that well but it does so much better than a hardtail climbing is way better and obviously going downhill hill is great as for getting one 9.8 is July next year and even getting a 2021 9.7 hardtail is March next year dont know about the Supercaliber dates but the few people I know who have brought them love them one guy in Cheltenham cycles got a 9.8 then the supercaliber wish he never got the hardtail you need to try one they are something else.

remedyflyer thought that was you.

Might have to have a wander in to town and have a chat on options. Starting whether you can fit a sensible cassette on the "cheap" supercalibre.
