Just bought XC 100 29er Hardtail over 2020 Big Nine Limited and 2020 Fathom 1 29er because of....
---Frame
Switch & Ride System capable of switching 27.5, 27.5 plus from 29er.
Triple Butted Frame vs Double Butted from both.
Frame is made and handcrafted from France vs from Taiwan.
---Drivetrain
SRAM NX 11-50 Freewheel and 34T Chainwheel vs 30T from Fathom & 32T from Big Nine Limited.
---Integration of Fork Remote Switch.
---Access to Air Fork Adjustment.
---Best After-sales Support.
---Lastly the PRICE.
