They sure look the business
Super keen to hear your ride thoughts on the trails …. The only negative ive heard is the back end can feel a little stiff / harsh. I want a playful plush feeling, also need to find one in stock in large in the uk !
Really like the look and spec of the new RR carbon 22 model, deciding between this and the new 22 Rail 9.8XT. Any known issues or anything to take into account apart from the battery being fixed ? Im 6’1 so was thinking large would be the one as i want it to be fun and throwable still ……. 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Ask @Rob Rides EMTB what he thought as he has had a 21 Rail for a year and has spent a good few weeks testing the 22 and then ordered him self one after….. 👍
I had / have a similar situation, im 6’1 and went large 21 rail last year , i could ride the bike ok but in truth it felt really cramped especially while seated my knee’s felt so close to the bars but when i rode an XL it was like a boat and felt the complete opposite!!
I have ordered a 22 9.8...
Thanks for the great feedback buddy !
I completely get what your saying, for me personally the extra length is what I wanted and not to make more stable or anything like that but purley that on my older 21Rail i found at 6’1 (185 cm) the large felt so short in the reach and realy cramped i just...
The ep8 is a pain in ass to tune as far as i know ….. mines pretty much turned up to max in all settings but still cant stay with tye Bosh unless its down hill
I’ve currently got a SC Bullit XT coil and love it but can’t hide the fact that the motor just isn’t as strong as the Bosh, the 22 Trek 9.8 XT would be what I have been considering swapping to as the spec etc is similar the extra length also is a plus for me as I’m alway inbetween large and...
It’s been a while since I’ve seen anything new regards de-restriction of the EP8 ….. I see Redped and Speedbox now offering plug and play units, has anyone successfully fitted one yet ? Ep8 js a lovely smooth motor but needs more power or speed imo….
Big thanks to @MBag85 for all the help and advice set up on my 38’s ? zero tokens - 20% sag with just over 100psi after a good few cycles every 20psi when inflating and there now like butter ??
Thanks again
I understand how it works as I’ve ridden mx and enduro for around 30 years but just wanted to know what to expect in terms of feeling and if the travel used in the pic is approximately what I should expect on some decent but basic fun trail / shoots / small jumps … in comparison my...
Thanks so much for the insight !!
I did question if I should be using more travel on such a rad bike on my local easy trails / jumps and shoots …. So I’m 80kgs in riding kit, I’ve dropped to 1 token and I think pressure is about 85psi to get me at 20% sag …whats best and what is the benefit to...
Also on the Rockshox coil I’ve ordered the next lighter spring (450) as I can’t get 30% sag as recommended with out having basically zero preload to the point that the collar / nut is barely in contact with the spring when I’m not on the bike
