I’m far from being a SC snob. I have 9 bikes, only 1 of them is a SC and it’s technically not even a MTB. The Amflow is just ugly, it could be the best bike to ever exist and I wouldn’t buy it based on looks alone.
I would take the SC over the Amflow any day of the week, the motor/integration might look awesome but the bike itself looks like it’s from 10 years ago. Maybe the upcoming lightweight Yeti will have the DJi motor🤔🤔
How much real world difference is there between the KSL1 and KSL2? My local Spesh dealer has one 2022 S-Works frame left in the back, they’ve got it marked down to £3150. The guy working said the owner would probably discount it even further just to get rid of it if I were interested. He was...
They’re not too bad, the DHR2 is a DD casing so it’s a bit heavier. I don’t find rolling resistance to be that big of a deal though with the e-bike, it may use a little more battery but I can’t tell a difference.
My mate told me months ago that new shuttle LT would be on a Bosch motor but didn’t go in to much more detail than that. I was wondering if it was going to be a complete new design or if they were just slapping the Gen 5 motor in the current frame, judging by the shuttle AM in that video it...
Same thing happened with the Levo SL, it was postponed because they realised they weren’t going to be competitive with a 35nm motor when everyone else was 50-60nm. I’m guessing if it is postponed it’s to do with battery tech, probably trying to come up with a lighter battery.
It’s UK/EU wide, apparently there’s a shortage of motors. I’m guessing they’ve run out of stock with all the warranty replacements and can’t get the rebuilt motors out fast enough.
You got lucky with them having a motor. My local SC dealer has 2 of his demo Heckler SLs waiting on motors, he was told 10 weeks minimum to get warranty replacements!
I’m sure there will be as it’s the newest thing right now. FWIW, my mate is demo’ing the NEO stuff right now and seems to be pretty impressed with it.
Fox will be offering NEO upgrade kits so if you have the float X or DHX2 you can just add the NEO stuff to it.
I raced 1/10th 2wd and 4wd buggies, mostly indoor on carpet tracks. Now I just do the bashing thing since there’s nowhere to race. I have a Kraton 6s, outcast 8s, x-Maxx and Maxx. Both of the Arrma cars have every part M2C racing offers so they’re pretty much indestructible. I still can’t get...
There’s tons of tracks down in England but not so much up here in Scotland, even worse in the highlands. There was a local club that had a track at one of the parks but it was shut down, they were supposed to be redoing it but it never opened back up. The club that ran it hasn’t posted on their...
I was taught how to do the Epley back when I was in Dubai. I’ve had it done multiple times, it sometimes works when I’m having a vertigo attack but it’s hit and miss. My wife and I took the kids to one of the local farm parks earlier, I drove and when I got out of the car I felt like I was on a...
Yeah, it’s a vestibular issue. I have some pretty severe tinnitus and suffered a mild TBI back in 2007. The ENT I was working with in Dubai told me it was the early stages of Ménière’s Syndrome. If I close my eyes and rely solely on my ears I practically have no balance. I’m just having to play...
I can tell I’m grumpier for sure, I went for a run earlier today just to do something physical. I haven’t updated my profile🤣😂 the Fort Bill thing caught me off guard, I moved to Inverness about 10 months ago….seems to be where all the Scottish MTB influencers are moving for some reason.
I’ve been playing golf for years, it’s my second most expensive sport after my bikes. I was just over in Saint Andrews with my father-in-law on a week long golf holiday. We played a course a day starting with the new course and ended with playing a round on the old course.
