This bike lookes amazing and I want one, but it does annoy me when
manufactures contradict themselves about carbon. One minute it's the strongest
stiffest material out there, then you read that the alu model is more durable!
I am after a new bike and I won't be competing in a WC DH race or Rampage. I
just want a good reliable bike that is going to last a long time with no
worries. So would the older style 650b alu model be the one to go for? I am
still on the fence a bit with carbon and there are only a few company's that I
would trust buying a carbon bike and Specialized is one of them. But I guess
this black stuff will still continue to confuse me!
