Cat2forLife Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 The Crave replaced the Carve. The Rockhopper range has now expanded to replace the Crave and they have introduced the Chisel, which has basically replaced the Higher end Craves and lower end alloy Epic Hardtails (which replaced the Stumpjumper Hardtail).
Vetplant Posted February 16, 2018 Author Posted February 16, 2018 Boredom or Serious?Bit of both. Was bored and went browsing through Classifieds and saw a Carve advertised but it said Crave on the toptube, then I started wodering if it is just a typo or whether both bikes exist. The names are just a bit to close to each other, so it is easy to make the mistake as an advertiser.

That saved a significant amount of money, which will obviously be passed onto the consumer in the long run. It's also not just a one off. the Stumpjumper is going to become theMr Jet Pump USMs Jump Erupt (WSD) The Rockhopper will be replaced by the Pork Chopper On the road side of things, Mike Sinyard's move to a paleo diet is getting recognition as they replace the Diverge with theRide VEG
