Does any one have experience with these bikes? I have both, recently bought the 2020 Comp Carbon expecting it to be an upgrade from the 2016 Expert, and it just isn’t in my opinion. I thought the component differences would have caught up in the 4 years.
The 2020 is slightly better at downhill but everything else seems worse. Climbing is harder, suspension isn’t as responsive, brakes are squishy, the whole bike just feels more sluggish. I have the flip chip set to high and both bikes are 650b’s.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it just the components that make it feel worse or is it the new frame architecture?
I’d appreciate your thoughts!
