Wow. I do like the bike color. The Bontrager Team issue tyres don't do well in anything loose/slick. I switched to Maxxis Rekon+ and the difference was incredible. Excellent grip in all conditions.
Great choice!
9.7 LT here.
Bike is awesome.
Noisy brakes = #1 complaint
Long or high speed descents and the whales in the ocean are diving to depths. No brake fade..just LOUD
Bike can handle it all tho
Zero issues.
However the paint on my 9.7 LT+ does seem to chip easily with rocks being flung up from the tyres.
I did a 3M paint protection frame wrap. So far so good.
Indeed. The 2019 9.9 and 9.7 OCLV carbon are very different, and the ride is amazing.
Not as quiet as brose but better power delivery than the Levo is what I experienced.
