I rode a Spectral:ON 7.0 several times, I bought a Turbo Levo Carbon Comp for £1k more.
Reasons I preferred the Levo:
* less sleddy handling, more "normal bike" (to be fair, Fabien Barel throws the Canyon around like it's made of balsa, so perhaps the issue is me. however few of us are DH World...
the 700Wh battery is also 750g heavier. That's well less than 1% of combined bike rider weight, it's your call if that's material to handling for the kind of riding you do.
so the big question is do you really need a 700Wh battery?
for xc epics - yeah maybe. for razzing around a few trails, 2-3 hours, longer if you're willing to put effort in, I'm finding my body gives out before the battery does as it's pretty intense work.
I bought a '19 Carbon Comp a few days...
Shuttle's not a "mode" it's a setting that can be applied to all the modes. (I believe).
Understanding Support vs Peak Power in Mission Control App v2.0 - EMTB Forums
I have tested this theory extensively and have a library of x-rays to back it up. No more.
(Actually, a major component of being a successful athlete is not getting injured).
based on Topov's map you can come S from the A24, turn left at the North Holmwood roundabout, if you then take the (I think - look on the map) 5th left - Knoll Road - you can connect to the bottom of Coldharbour Lane. Follow that or park there and you're easily up to Leith Hill. I actually...
that's an XC width and you'll get a very square profile on the 29mm ID rims. you're also starting to squander the benefits of having a motor to assist you... which is you can build the bike burlier than if you were pedalling it.
Nah. Surrey is improved this weekend by bike races.
One day a year we wake up to no traffic noise and the kids can run around town without being squashed by a **** in a Range Rover.
I once had a super light bike a Salsa Selma - scandium HT, singlespeed, rigid carbon fork.
It was like riding a cloud.
But that's part of how it was, other heavier bikes meet their purpose very well. I suspect optimal weight of an emtb is a couple of kg down from where they are, that's enough...
