Great video again! Still waiting for my TF 9.8XT ETA May now. Did you notice any bushing play on your TF? I expect if it occurs my lbs would be able to sort that out, right?
Thank you! Nice choice of bike there! No, I didn't notice bushings play at all. Apparently that's something that develops over time and it is not a huge deal, more of an annoyance. Your lbs can surely fix that if it occurs!
Thanks for the great review, nice spot on unbiased review. I'm not sure who wouldn't complain about the price, even if you are rich that is a lot of Krona! Again, Tack for the great video...
Thx! That looks really stealthy. Haven't seen it in the flesh though. Is it really raw carbon? It says "matte raw carbon", but it looks like there is some sort of metallic coating. Still a very nice looking bike!
I imagine it had a reverb rather than the reverb axs since it's a review bike. I'd personally be PISSED if my $10,000+ bike came with a regular reverb rather than an axs dropper.
That bikes come with different components than ordered is quite common today due to the component crisis. Usually they ship the bikes with better components without any extra cost or they will send the proper component later, I have experienced both scenarios. But in this case, maybe your are right. This is a test bike after all.
@@MTBs sending better components at no cost I could totally understand, but receiving something undervalued would irritate anyone, considering the constant rise of bike prices (almost every bike has increased a minimum of $300-500 over the course of the past 1-2 years).
@@Emolokz From what I have experienced and heard from others is that buyers will not get lower end components to the same price, you will get compensated in some way. I do get annoyed too over the hefty price increases on bikes however and hope that the markets will get back to normal very soon!
Awesome video and review! I appreciated it so much, I’m a new subscriber. Really enjoyed the humor as well! 🤘🏼
Thank you, Steve! I really put some effort into this video, but it didn't really take off for some reason. I am glad someone liked it! 😀
Thank You! Great review.

Hi there really good review looking at buying the 9.8 only available in raw carbon Grey what do you think of this colour scheme? 🤔
Thx!

@@MTBs agreed! Inflation as an excuse for constant price hikes can only persist so long.
That paint job....😫. 13000. And garbage tires.
love the paint and the tires on mine are solid
@@Alex-sh7qw I love the paint job too. 😂
