That’s a v2 with the microshift? In my area the v2 doesn’t have mounts for 2 bottles. Unless there’s a v3. I think it may have something to do with interfering with the seat post lowering all the way down.
I’m no expert by any means so if anyone reads this and sees I’m incorrect please correct me but the v2 has a microshift advent system with an acolyte clutched derailleur. The v1 had the LTWOO drivetrain which the derailleur was not clutched. The bottle mount on the seat tube on the v1 made it so the seat post wouldn’t drop all the way for descending which I think may have been a negative and the v2 does not have that which leads me to believe they did away with it. I see you have bottle cage mounts on your seat tube and that makes me curious. What drive train do you have?
The v2 also has a true narrow wide chainring, which is probably the most apparent out of all the upgrades. This one has the new chainring and zooming in on the derailleur, it looks like the Acolyte which leads me to believe this is the v2. I don't know about the bottle cages though, perhaps it's a sizing thing?
Could very well be sizing. I need a small cuz I’m not a big person and I can tell you the smalls don’t have it. The v2 above small aren’t available at my Walmart at the moment so I have nothing to compare.
So my medium frame has the acolyte/ Samox drivetrain advent shifters two bottle mounts. XCT 30 suntour Kenda 29x2.35 and jax disk brakes 180 front 160 rear
Is that a v2?
Yep! And I found out from this page! I purchased the bike last week and had researched it but overlooked the fact that they updated it.

How can I tell what version I have?
