Or not.... which is not surprising.

Full disclosure: Frankly, I had a hard time believing Beyond Bikes (or anyone else for that matter) still had X2's in stock at full price, never mind at a 20% discount. So, just for kicks I put one on order. As noted above, the order sat in limbo for a while which seemed to suggest that there really wasn't one in stock that they could use to fulfill the order. When I called to check on the order after several business days had passed as the order sat in limbo the support folks said "It was showing as on-dock"??? Hmmm. Interesting. Well, I decided to let it ride and then on March 11th I receive a notice that it had shipped. Hmmm. Maybe they did find a source?

Well, the X2 showed up today only it wasn't an X2. It was a CX fork carrying a CX designation on the "Made in China" label and elsewhere that the distributor had gone and labeled as an X2. In fact, they went to the trouble of even attaching a label to the fork leg right along side the CX markings and cantilever bosses.

Anyway, it's going back to Beyond Bikes on a call-tag for a full refund. Thankfully, I already have a spare X2 fork so I'm not overly concerned.

Bottom Line: File this one under Too Good To Be True... which is what it seemed to be from the git-go.
