If I remember the early reviews, they said you could run mullet, but it’s not recommended. I could a lot of people are asking for the option to go mullet so chuck it in as an option with new motor.
I would imagine the new Santa Cruz will be top money and the EP801 with the recent update I’ve seen gives similar performance to the Gen 4 race motor too
I just sold my Santa Cruz 5010 CC custom build with carbon wheels the full works. Had about £7k in the build and it sold for £1750, but had to sell it :(
What rear shock do you have? Saw a 2025 Levo comp alloy and it had the float X factory, this and what is in yours is not to spec. I get the feeling specialized is throwing any bits they can just to move stock.
Yeah it’s not the best spec but you are paying for the name and the knowledge that’s specialized has a good warranty. This all comes from charging more to end user.
This is why I got my Gen 3 I could have got a carbon spectral on or strive underdog for similar money, but there is a concept...
I don’t think it’s too bad and there is a cheaper option at £2,750.
The Gen3 2025 comp alloy is £5,750 and this RRP has been reduced since first released in 2022, I think it was about £6,500.
When released the Gen 4 comp alloy would be around the £6k price same as Gen 3.
