Test-rode a Supercaliber SL 9.7 GX AXS T-Type Gen 2 at a local shop, mostly on tarmac with a short light trail: really impressed by the suspension, enough to drop the idea of a hardtail.

Their three-week-old Supercaliber 9.7 already looks tatty with many fine scratches after five rides (about 12 hours); very disappointed with the paint durability, which is worse than their seven-year-old YT Capra.

“I recently got a Supercaliber 9.7 and I’m really disappointed with the durability of the paint, I’ve ridden the bike 5 times, maybe 12hours, and it’s already looking really tatty with lots of fine scratches.”
