i don't own either, but have been shopping (browsing). i feel like for the type of riding i do (ass kicking marathons, with hard 90 degree turns every 20 minutes), i'd like to have 2x up front. really, the biggest difference i can tell is that i'd just rather not go with 1x.
i plan to get some gravel rides in, and then do 3-4 cx races every fall. always been a road bike guy, so this seems like the biggest factor for me. am i wrong? is 1x pretty cool on gravel too?
