Anyone considering dropping the coin on the SC must be a loon. How can you justify it? Unless you are a privateer racer who's close to riding WC races that bike won't make you any faster than the guy in the line that just picked up the top line YT.
The thing that gets me is that there is no clearly measurable superior feature that a SC bike would have… it's more the brand's image that they are selling. Like if you put Aaron Gwin on every single manufacturers top end DH bike its not like he would for sure be the fastest on the SC V10. Is the V10 even the lightest DH bike? I guess that's one measurable factor that they could argue if that is the case…
