I’m going to guess this is built from another bike (I know, it’s not a huge leap :) ). I have a similar plan brewing. I mean, it’ll be next year now as I’m likely confined to the house for 6-12 months but it’s nice to see the builds coming.

Search engine? ;)

Cycling is having a massive boom in demand. If you can support your LBS if you value them being around. A lot of them are open during all this, with modified processes for dealing with them usually. Back to the topic. Tredz have been fine for me.

I often find that thoughts on power/torque delivery for different motors go down to size and age of the rider. With the FF bikes there‘s something so cool about the ability to hoist up to the top of hills and get more runs down hill. The SL seems much closer to a traditional MTB and I find that...

STunlocker works a treat. The developer is on here too.

The way Boost is delivered is different to Brose Turbo (mind you I only test rode the 2019 levo/brose 2.1). I also tested an SL, the ride was short but it was up the steepest hill I could find to test the assistance. I own an Orange Surge Factory with E8000 which I love and chose over the Levo...

You should try a Shimano E8000. It’s a great motor particularly if you’re a little heavier. Perhaps the things you’ve heard are for the early software revisions?

Nice XC build there @tokij. I’m interested in the weight distribution with just the extender too. It’s a configuration that would allow you to fly with the SL in hold. Mind you post C19 that could be a while off.

Great vid Rob. A lot to think about there. I think the exciting thing about Fazua is the ability for many more potentially more niche OEMs to adopt it. However, it looks to me that Specialized have a big lead in the packaging and efficiency as you (And @R120) point out. To me that’s why there’s...

There’s plenty of information on the forum around this so definitely worth a search of previous topics. Areas to watch are the obvious motor/battery longevity and things like greater drivetrain wear. The rest is pretty much usual MTB stuff. That said I think there is something ‘bleeding edge’...

You tag to get reach and attention. Most accounts who use it to promote will have a standard set too (I’ve run IG accounts for modified car clubs).

You know how social media works right? ?

Nice for XC but can you turn it into a trail bike with some other parts? ? Have to say though I always admire a Wilier bike when on the road.

I wouldn’t say the build is super compromised if you ignore the post and saddle (175g combined! That’s around 800g less than the standard dropper and saddle). The rest seems ok for a summer conditions light trail/XC build.

Next level weight weenying.

Worth noting that fork length is different for a given travel between 27.5 and 29 forks. If switching to 27.5 and using 29 forks then you should factor this in.
