How do people feel about the switch from Shimano GRX on previous years to SRAM X1?

Ain’t never seen a bike come with bottles and lights lol
That is legit, I’m a SRAM diehard so I’ll take this any day of the week over GRX. I much prefer doubletap.
I think The Vegan Cyclist should sue whoever designed those bottles for copyright infringement.
Wow, the execs at Costco missed out on a Kirkland signature gravel bike opportunity.
For the price, are there better options out there? I’ve been wanting to get something carbon to use for commuting and more rough gravel soon.
FWIW, last year they offered both the 2x Shimano and this 1x SRAM setup, so this isn’t new.
[It was also $1500 this time last year](https://www.reddit.com/r/gravelcycling/comments/1b0jzgx/costcos_intense_951_gravel_bike/)

The Intense outlet had refurbs for $1,199 briefly a couple weeks ago.
I have a friend who bought 1 last year with SRAM 1×12 so I don’t think that is new. His bike is setup tubeless and has been rock solid with zero upgrades…..wheels are a little on the heavy size but we did a 100k race last year without issue.
