Just seems like a waste to spend so much money on an entry level bike. I’d much rather spend the money on a light set of wheels that you can swap over to your next bike.
It will look good though

I put almost that much purple on my bike. I didn’t do the hubs. But I did put on the Purple Hayes.

Brutal honesty? I think blinging out your bike with every color matched part available makes bikes look tacky. The key is to be subtle. But at the end of the day it’s your bike and your money, so who cares what anyone else thinks.

Take care with different ‘purple’ from different manufacturers. Wjen you get them close they will be different colours amd look crap together

This is a case of form over function.
And it’s giving me 90s vibes.

90’s logic says that every purple item makes you 3% faster.

Brutally honest: spend the money on upgrades that will improve performance, not just make it look like a Russian tracksuit. I can’t see the bike details well but the Dakar is an entry level bike, I imagine you could spend this money on upgrades to brakes or drivetrain or dropper or wheels and get much more noticeable improvement.
