Boost specs, of course. Shimano-MTB XT 4-piston brakes front and rear with 180mm rotors front and rear, so good!

Love how the Shimano dropper lever integrates with the Fox Transfer dropper AND utilizes the I-Spec EV2 mount to the brake lever clamp, clean! Also, the lever actuation is smooth, tight and just right.

Twenty Seven Five for life! Seriously, I've ridden a BUNCH of equivalent travel 29'ers and simply just did not have as much fun riding the bigger wheels even if they are a little faster in some situations. It's all about how much fun I can have when I ride these days.

175mm XT cranks with a 34 tooth ring because I like to go fast, and non-caged XT pedals (cages/platforms are just dead weight to me). I started riding SPD's in 1991. Simply, they work really well all the time.

Might as well embrace the new tech with the 35mm bar clamp. I like that the new spec supposedly allows Race Face to engineer a better lighter carbon bar. 5 up, 8 back and always 20mm rise. Been running carbon bars for 20 years now, love them.

Thanks. I think that was the case last year, just like getting 12spd this year too.

Very nice build! Also, interesting to see that shimano i-spec ev dropper lever is compatible with the xt brake because I thought it was only for the xtr's.
