That makes sense, and if that was the intended meaning, I completely agree.
I checked out the ARC amongst others after getting my new-to-me hardtail. I really love the feeling of being back on a hardtail. Most of the components are from 2018 (drivetrain, fork, wheels, etc.), except for the brakes and handlebars (purchased this year). The frame is old, though, from 2014. So I was thinking that in 2, 3 years, I might need a new bike or frame, and I like doing my research well in advance … window shopping is free
