Obviously they did it because it is an infomercial, and the 1x Inflite is yellow and looks good in infomercials (The 2x is boring grey).


I have a 2x Inflite. I can (and do) hammer hard with Cat 1-3 riders on top tier racing road bikes (when I am on similar tires). Typically, those rides top out around 40mph, but I don't run out of gears.

50-53T chainrings are silly. I doubt any of us can accelerate a 50x11 gear, unless we are riding of a cliff.
