New 13 Speed Red XPLR spotted

It is so good that the only female Shimano-sponsored athlete in the Olympic XC race retired with Olympic gold. Old, but gold? :wink: :1st_place_medal:

PS My XTR M9000 mechanical is older than Pidcickā€˜s, why aren’t my legs as fast as his?! :upside_down_face:

The rigid version is even more affordable… I find it a very tempting deal now that new Red is on the gravel bike. Not sure I want the liability of $600 cassettes though.

That price for the Lauf is a great deal….but their BB’s are WAY too high for my riding preferences.

I went up 4mm this year from my Aspero to a Crux…it would be another 7mm higher to go to a Lauf.

If they dropped their BB’s, I’d consider one in a heartbeat.

Ive lowered my saddle more than 7mm this year, so maybe a lauf would feel normal to me? Well see, likely gonna order one

Wouldn’t the higher BB on the Lauf be to compensate for the suspension sag ?
