Raleigh will announce 2017's very soon and rumors are the Tamland will see some updates. I am hoping for Thru axles F&R and fork mounts. The Roker is also appealing to me.
I don't think the fork mounts would do anything for me. But otherwise...not bad. I wish that they'd do frames that look like the Supernova Elite for the Renegade which IMO and blah. The Rokers look sweet too....last years at least. I almost went for one instead of the Renegade but I couldn't get my size.
Nova's are good looking but to racy for me. I'm surprised no 1x in the Renegade lineup. Something I am leaning towards maybe sort of kinda. Having the mounts gives extra versatility for touring,packing etc... Something that's on my bucket list. Sold my Kona Rove and I miss the fork mounts the most lol
Yeah...I just want some color. The Renegades are so subdued.
I can see the usefulness of the fork mounts. I just don't think I'd ever use them. Having them on the bike doesn't turn me off or anything though if I had the choice I'd leave them off.
I'm kinda surprised too. 1x seems to be the new thing now. I had it on my SuperX and it was pretty good. It took a few rides to get used to that spread in gearing but once I did...I was ok with it. I do like the 2x better in that regard though but I'm still missing a couple gears going to an 11-36 mountain bike cassette.
Yeah...been eyeing one of the steel Renegades. It would definitely make a great addition to the family. That is kinda silly to not just do 15mm. Wonder what the thought (or lack of thought) process was for deciding on 12mm, considering 15mm is pretty much the "standard" right now. They did it to the carbon Renegades too.
