Planning to engage in a bit of xc racing this year but can not decide which bike, so curious to what others think.
I have a SS which weights about 11.9kg and the FS (canyon nerve xc) set up 1*10 and with dropper post which weights 11.7kg, which i was quite surprised at when put both on scales. I was thinking of putting gears on the SS which of course would make it even heavier.
I enjoy riding both bikes so would be happy to use either, just not sure which, so what do you think?

unless you are podium bothering just ride whichever one you fancy. i consistently finish mid field on a rigid SS. still enjoy racing. 😀
