So I had a good ride on Robs Stilus today and got a good idea of it. Firstly...Wow, I mean, what a bike.
So It's had a few upgrades since Rob's review:
29er at the front and Pirelli Scorpion Tyre.
160mm RockShox Pike Ultimate Fork with 2.1 damper (Price has been hiked since Rob bought it)...
Really depends on your budget!
DT Swiss HX1501 wheels are awesome.
Totally modular so you can switch out cassette manufacturers with the hub adaptors provided. Also can easily change the free wheel hub. I’ve got a set on mine and they have taken a beating. They are a lot of money but...
Unless you need a DH casing for rocks and slate I wouldn't go for that as it's a lot of extra rolling weight. DHF is a great tyre tho front and rear and I would recommend. Last time I rode them was on the YT, but that was the MaxGrip variety and they were fresh so super tacky.

Berkshire don't have a monopoly. According to Chris, Specialized has stock of motors and batteries. Shops who say there is a delay are passing the buck. They don't want to hold stock of what they consider items Spesh should supply. A few motors are a lot of capital for a LBS to hold and keep...
Be careful of reading too much into that. If you have an issue you're gonna come online and speak about it. There will still be a QA failure rate on even an 'updated' motor.

You will also...
If it feels like it’s Bobbing that’s your rebound which needs tweaking. If you ride off a curb it shouldn't buck you back up more than once..
There’s loads of vids on YouTube about setting rebound..!
Enjoy your bike man, you’ll get the new software update end of July which will transform the...
Mate your gonna love it. Perfect bike for you I think..Get a range extender and your Golden all day for any ride with FF bikes..
Well happy for you buddy ?
It was night and day so I'm not sure that the update you got was the latest. I believe the one most LBS have at the moment prevents you from getting spurious 504 errors. You'd know at the first crank if you had the new update :)
It felt like I was riding an eMotoX and put the same smile on my...
