Thanks, @Howard
I was asking because yesterday my LBS called me to say Cannondale was going to keep my 2016 CAADX (it had an annoying vibrating rear when braking) as they couldn't find a way to fix it. As a compensation they offered me a voucher to the amount of the original purchase price (2000 €). Not bad for a 2 year old bike. :-) Thank you Cannondale. So there I stood in the shop with this voucher and the LBS offering me a 2018 FSi 5 (with 2x11 XT/SLX) for 1600 €. It was so tempting that this morning I bought it.
I have a Carbon 2 from 2015.
Ultimately it's an XC race bike. It's light and moderate-to-terrifying when used for borderline gnarly stuff. But for all day rides and fast flowy natural trails it's fun. Hence I'm still riding mine.
The offset rear wheel is kinda annoying but stops you from buying junk system wheel sets because they are going cheap on wiggle.
