Levels are a complete joke. The Guide T is more like a really, really bad dad joke about four piston brakes that can’t stop you.
It’s shocking Ibis didn’t put Code R’s on that bike. Ripmo AF owners should be pissed and Ibis should be embarrassed. Obviously their product manager doesn’t ride the low end spec of their bikes or is making assumptions about the abilities of customers looking for capable rigs at lower entry costs.
Deore M6120/M6100 builds are going to make a lot of product managers look good with limited effort.
There’s still room to boost the min-maxing with Deore M5100, M420 brakes, etc though for a thoughtful bike spec’er on a budget.
