Really interested in hearing about your test ride on the carbon one! Was it light? How smooth riding was it? Did it really help with comfort?
I definitely felt a difference in the two for sure, Carbon is definitely smoother. I wouldn't say it was light necessarily but it was lighter than the AL one. Personally I'd spring for it, it felt worth the upgrade.
My biggrest issue with the Crosstrails was the colors are simply awful, especially on the Elite Carbon. Maroon? Not for me..This is of course a personal thing.
I opted for a Sirrus Expert in the end, but the CT is a nice bike that can do it all.
