what if it was <2k

the only thing stopping me is it is carbon and I crash sometimes
Carbon is VERY durable as a frame material, that is a sweet ride for less than 2G's

I wasn’t aware carbon was a very impact resistant material with all manufactures.. guess it depends on the manufacturing techniques …

there is an aluminum Scott for about 1k less - that might be an option - I am just scared of a carbon MTB as bad as I ride
