The shock shaft looks bigger than previous versions. Less things to fiddle with, lighter weight. More send ?
@Bencab Bummer if it is the older motor. I was told that it was going to be a new motor from a new vendor and would be more like 50nm. Also bummer if it's only 29er. Every bike should have the stumpjumper flip chips and angle sets.
I think the 29ers are great race bikes but 650b is just a...
How is that the Orbea Rise is 60nm and around the same weight. The SL is like 30nm, right? Maybe the torque doesn't make that big of a difference beyond a certain amount. I'm asking about climbing assist (with respect to how many watts I need to put out) not how fast it is overall. I could climb...
@KnollyBro Ah bummer I would need at least S4 probably S5. You will be able to sell it pretty easily for sure as you can't really find them new right now.
if it’s only 30, I will just keep the levo and the analog DH bike. For bike park days I would actually want to remove the battery to drop the weight. A good enduro machine should feel pretty boring on standard bike trails. But when you are landing big jumps and drops the extra suspension really...
Yeah I really think 50-60 would be the sweet spot for me. Turbo is seriously fun but I would give it up to have less tank like feel. This is a new motor too so maybe lighter weight for more power. I wish they would just leak the specs already haha
@Christian yeah I just mean with factory...
I was told that it will be closer to 50nm by a specialized guy so maybe we will all be happy. I am guessing eco on the full fat is turbo on the SL and trail would be an SL with 60nm. I could give up FF turbo for more agility for sure. For me the deciding factor is dual crown or not. Then I can...
@Christian I am sure there are plenty of fat people that can smoke you on the DH. Us huskys just need more torque for the climb but it doesn't mean we don't want it to handle like a proper race weapon :p
I hope that dual crown is still going to be an option. If not, it's an Enduro SL (which is...
I picked up a Stans Flow ZTR for mine. The microspline will leave you will very few options unless you want XC wheels. I switched the rotor to standard 6 bolt. I'm honestly sick of all this "new" tech that barely does anything. Is boost really that much better? Probably a few percentage points...
Bummer if it’s 29. Sounds like an enduro SL. I was hoping for just a newer version of the 2020 with shock down low and maybe a little lighter. I really don’t understand why the kenevo is so much heavier than the levo? Has any tried to lighten their kenevo build? I wonder what you could get it...
I heard that it is a new motor and that it would be more than the SL but less than Levo. What I really want to know is if they will keep the 180mm 27.5 setup. The new enduro is 170mm 29er. Will they also mullet and do 180 27.5 rear and 170 29 front? Seams like it but I hope it stays 27.5 as a...
@congerball Any of the newer motors should have the upgrades. I have no idea about build dates but the dude mentioned the 2021 bikes have the same motor with all of the changes.
My BB is at 340mm in the high position but I raised the front by like 16mm over stock. You can get into warranty issue going over 160mm or so "they" say. :D
You really have to look at the axle to crown measurements. I increased the front end by about 16-17mm (new fox 38 +10mm travel) and it puts the BB height close to stock with a 27.5 wheel. You will basically lose about 19mm by switching to the 27.5 wheel in back. Thats going to be super low.
I just noticed in @Rob Rides EMTB latest video interview with spesh that the 2021 brose motors are the same as the 2.2. He implied that it just made more sense to rebrand it. The 2021 is dead silent, even under standing pedaling in turbo. If you want 29er that stay with the 2021. proper mullet...
This bike looks sick! I wish that I had all those adjustments for sure. Great review @Rob Rides EMTB - very detailed and your filming and editing are top notch. Man you make that bike look better than Specialized does! I'm curious to see where the alu prices will end up. Probably pretty close to...
The 2023 model will feature Apple BikePlay connected to TCU3.0 that controls power, Fox LiveValve, AXS and dropper. With his/hers settings so the bike remembers who is riding it. But yes I heard the new motor is actually made by SpaceX haha
Honestly what I really want is just an empty battery...
