High Rock Ruti Yes, twice. Trek Rail 9.8 and Orbea wild FS Team. Read and watch the reviews, didn't Rob just review the Stilus? I love both bikes they ride differently but not greatly, most emtb's are fun to ride.

High Rock Ruti After four failed Brose motors and a full refund, not considering the Brose drive system, that being said the Levo and Specialized are both fantastic......doesn't that help. Just take heart I have a Trek Rail 9.8 and just got Orbea wild FS team, both are fantastic bikes, meaning...

High Rock Ruti Turbo at all times except when traction is sketchy or the technical is close quarters and requires herky jerky pedal dabbing then trail to prevent lurching.

High Rock Ruti It sure is a good thing that all these failures represent such a small "percentage" of Specialized S Mag motors', hate to think what it would be like if it was WORSE! Just think of Brose motor's as a large less easily removable Fazua, unclick throw away every 250 miles easy, SIMPLE!

High Rock Ruti What miracle of wind fall....and cut to fit. I use a Dewalt 12 inch 20 volt chainsaw, I recently cut a 20 inch log across the trail and was asked by a local land owner to, re-cover the trail which I did by dragging some smaller ride-overable tree fall However these access...

High Rock Ruti If the cable housing is intact a new cable will slide right through

High Rock Ruti I deleted carbon rims from the Rail 9.8 saved $600 in less than month had a dent in the side of the rim 1/4 inch deep. The carbon rims come with a two year warranty, that's right I need another warranty claim. Pinch flat a tire put a hole through the casing and bend the rim...

High Rock Ruti Didn't consider it, that is terribly frustrating to hear.

High Rock Ruti All good suggestions, except asking them to move the company. I found the lack of replacement motors to be very revealing of excessive demand for more motors, belt and clutch failure on the brand new hyped S Mag. However, I'm waiting on a Shimano E8000 motor right now. Back...

High Rock Ruti I suggest calling Specialized directly and ask them to expedite the repair, I've spoken to them many times and had great experiences.

High Rock Ruti So Sorry, sounds painful just reading about it. Close calls to our bodies. Last year I broke a dead white pine branch on the outside corner of my eye, would have lost the eye for sure. So let's add glasses to the kit list, found "Ryder" fog proof glasses, bought yellow...

High Rock Ruti So sorry Blebo, that's the same mileage of each of the four (did I say 4?..yes)failures I had. How long for a new motor? Warm Regards Ruti

High Rock Ruti I had the POC armor jacket lasted several years also the POC armor shorts both have provided great protection, When the jersey is ripped right on top of the VPD you know you've, been saved. My all time favorite is the discontinued POC hardshell shin to over knee, still wearing...

High Rock Ruti Broken bike he's already off the horse

High Rock Ruti Zimmerframe think GOLF.....LOL

High Rock Ruti My hard shell upper body (road racing) armor does not prevent broken ribs either. I'm only guessing but when you land with enough force directly on your ribs all the armor does is transfers the force to your ribs, happened during a recent crash, I can speculate that I would have...

High Rock Ruti I look so ridiculous that I've been nick named Michelan Man. I used to use a POC mesh jacket anything above 85 degrees was dizzying. I wear a short sleeve synthetic sports shirt that's soaked when finished. I have crashed so many times landing on elbows, shoulders, back and...

High Rock Ruti Chains and cassettes every 750 ish miles, Sram are reputed to be the best search Google there is a chain durability test kicking around. Shifting is most likely bent hanger used to bend by hand trailside and it would shift better. I have a spare chain in my backpack, if I only...

High Rock Ruti 4 motors less than 1000 total miles TL S works full refund. New Rail 9.8 absolutely love the bike and at 220 miles still running. That's what losing a motor every couple hundred miles will do for your confidence in the equipment. 2016 pivot shuttle (5-6 thousand miles) finally...
