​
The rear shock is a Rockshox Vivid air. It has an e*thirteen chain guide and a Rockshox Reverb dropper post. The drive train is Sram GX 1x11.
​
The 8.0 is in the middle of specifications; above the 7.0, and one below the 9.0. Upgrades include the drive train (Shimano on the 7.0), and Rockshox Yari.
​
The price is difficult to be precise about, as it's in 2799 Euros. That seems to be somewhere around £2500. Given the competition, it is extraordinarily good value.
