Longshot Solaris Max
Longshot? Is that a name or just your comment? Is there a reason you didn't ride sus fork?
The other thing that concerns me is the groupsets are all different. 12spd ffs. Is there any chance of backward compatibility with Road 11 speed stuff I have now or is it another "buy everything new again hahaha CONSUME CONSUME CONSUME"
hippy-
The chisel came with Deore/SLX mix. 12 speed with 32 front and 11-51 back. Pretty sweet and shifting is as good as any shimano stuff I have ridden. Can't believe that's the budget option.

Longshot is Cotic's name for the longer/lower/slacker geometry. There was a previous edition of the the Solaris Max that predates the LLS geo.
I went with the rigid fork for weight saving mainly, and suspecting there wouldn't be too much gnar on the route. I've also got some 140mm Revelations that I can swap in for less bikepacky/more techy riding.
What's with all the bottle mounts on the DT though!?
Lots of options for bottle cage placement/frame bags.
"Exclusive Cotic Designed Reynolds 853 34.9mm seat tube"
Does that mean non-standard, pain in the arse to find later on, seatposts?No, that's the external diameter. It takes standard 31.6mm posts.

Longshot Solaris Max (large), rigid fork with ~490mm a-c. Worked a treat* on the Bearbones 200.
