Doug, Welcome to the group! I think you’re new here? Diving into the deep end with this! Grin. “Not sure it matters much if a CF or aluminum frame breaks vs steel getting all bent up, severe crashing is bad either way. I think RBW can do a good job promoting their offerings as versatile and unique without making statements that are opinion at best and easily disproved at worst...”
The differences in fatigue and failure rates between CF, AL, and steel are science, not opinion. Grant has described that while CF tests strong one directionally (not laterally, so never ding your CF bike on a post, tree, or rock!), than invisibly fatigues quickly with use. The facts are the CF fails without warning and those failures can be catastrophic; steel bends and may remain rideable after an impact that visibly causes damage.
