RATING
Drive weight (25 %) 6 (max. 10 points)
Pinion wear (25 %) 10 (max. 10 points)
Leaf wear (25 %) 6 (max. 10 points)
Chain wear (25 %) 6 (max. 10 points)
Conclusion Cheaper alternative to the XX1. The gearbox is just under 200 g heavier, but functionally equivalent, and the sprockets are very wear-resistant. The chain shows a little more elongation, but is still at a good level. The chainrings wear in the same way as those of the XX1.
