You think this is bad, never own a bicycle. My god the confusion. I just wish all manufactures would name the product generation, and then incrementally increase numbers in the range based on quality and spec. Skylake-1 (basic) Skylike-1000 (really good) etc. Especially for chips, it seems the current naming specs across industry is needless complexity.

The other thing the bike manufacturers seem to do is bump the year number of the model with no real changes. The. You get situations where the 2018, 2019, 2020 difer only by paint job, then switch from a 2x8 to 1x12 gear setup, and then the 2021, 2022, 2023 are back to differing by paint job only again.

I guess it's them trying to incentise buying new in an industry that's much more slow moving than PC parts.
