Everything just a bit better by the looks of things, whether that actually worth the extra £500 I can’t tell, but I know I’d prefer the Reba to the XC-28 fork right from the word go. BUT if that all that was ‘wrong’ with the spec in your eyes, it maybe worth buying the 629 and a set of cheap mail order reba’s & flogging the XC-28 to get some money back, would cost a lot less than £500…
Being a small company they obviously don’t have the buying power of the likes of giant/Spesh/et all, but I imagine will have priced it as competitively as they can…
Tried a 729 and liked how it handled a lot, and so bought the 929 – would have gone for the 729 if I didn’t get the 929.
