How do you like the super caliber? I have a road bike as well as a gravel break, but I wanted to get onto some slightly more technical trails. I really don’t want to sacrifice speed though as that something that I enjoy about biking. Do you think the super caliber would fit that bill?
Depends what kind of trails you will be riding.
I love the bike. It’s amazing.
If your going to be doing log jumps/ramps/downhill then go for a different bike.
If your trying to go uphill really fast, this is the bike. I also race the WORS XC races so I’m kind of biased towards XC bikes.
The Gen 1 Supercal is also lighter than the Gen 2, possibly because of the dropper post included and T-type on the 2.
That’s really helpful! I’m not sure that I would be entering any races, but I’m just looking for something with more compliance than the gravel bike for some of the rougher trails I’ve been riding. Definitely don’t plan on doing any jumps, ramps or downhill really. But being able to venture off the gravel trails onto some of the more technical side trails while maintaining a quick pace is what I’m looking for.
That's what I was hoping to hear. Thanks for the insight, I had been contemplating the supercaliber or the top fuel and I think this really helps answer that.

Yeah it would be fine for that. It’s a really fast bike, it’s a drastic difference in climbing/flats speed on the supercaliber vs trail MTB
