1x10.... what year is this, 2010?
Well you can get 1*12 and pay £250 more.... probably.
You can't expect a budget price and full high-spec components.
1×10…. what year is this, 2010?
A wide range 10 speed setup is going to get you up anything as well as an 11-46 12 speed would!
And Deore a lot more reliable than sx
granted, but huge gaps between the cogs... Didn't realise that 10spd was still a thing on new MTBs
The only big jump is between the biggest 2 sprockets, and that's just shimano being silly, because sunrace manage to even them out nicely
I run wide range 10 speed on my hardtail and there's hardly any difference between that and the posh stuff on my main bike- the biggest difference is that the 10 speed is a lot less sensitive to setup and considerably cheaper to maintain
1x12 will make all the difference ! I can’t believe the hype over 2 cogs. If a recreational rider needs or would notice the difference on the trails, some pro team should sign them up.
Well done to all the manufacturers producing decent bikes to get folk into riding.
The Embolden’s proprietary ALUXX-Grade Aluminum frame alloy is 30% stiffer than traditional 6061-series aluminum
Fact Check please / metallurgy magic if so.
How many years before nobody is able to service the fork properly?
Totally on board with the 1x10. My Ribble hardtail just arrived with 12 speed NX which is made out of cheese while having a cassette that weighs in at 610g. Disasterous shifting from the word go. I spend every ride fiddling with a barrel adjuster, and the forums tell me that is par for the course. The silver lining is that it uses a HG driver. Can't get 10 speed back on that bike quickly enough.
