Sorry, I don’t. Someone who works at McLaren UK in the body work department made mine for the Epic Evo. He measured them and then bought the colour vinyl that I wanted. He used a special machine to cut them. Did a great job fitting them too.
Good to hear. You’re going to get me spending a lot of money!!
What I’d like is the better handling/capability. Quieter motor although the current one doesn’t overly bother me. A bit more power. Seems like it ticks those boxes. How do you compare to the Gen 1, decent improvement?
The only...
Snap. I currently have a 21 SW Epic Evo(great bike)and the same SL that you had. The black with bronze foil decals is a head turner.
It sounds like you’re the perfect reviewer for me!!!😂 I look forward to your ride report.
Interesting re the power.
I’ve just watched the MTBR comparison of the Trek 50NM motor bike v the SL. The SL came out as faster and more powerful. Francois used his usual data behind the results.
He said the motor is much quieter than the gen 1 which seems to be a consistent view, although the...
Stunning. Be great to hear your post ride review tomorrow. Also what you were riding before as a comparison.
I’m still deciding whether to swap from my Gen 1 SW SL to a Gen 2 SW SL. I like the black stealth look but so I really like the white version. I will have to see what’s available(Not much...
Congratulations, bike will be amazing I’m sure. I’m sure you could get the Bronze Foil decals made up from the 2021 version. I have that and it’s stunning.
If I ever get the new one in black, I’d do the same.
Thanks for writing this up. Sounds a great bike with hopefully some personal tweaks to make it right.
Im pretty sure I’d want it 29. Most mullets are just a work around for me, not the ideal design scenario. Some will love the mullet though(possibly me) but time will tell.
I rarely put my...
That’s not a comparison or criticism though. We all know they are different bikes with different power and strengths. Some people like to work more on a climb, others like to be passengers. Each are fine.
The short chainstays and mullets are definitely a preference and some reviewers rightly...
I like his videos because they’re different and you get a real time feel of the bike, including what makes it fun etc. He’s been writing for UK Bike magazines for years. I remember his name from 20+ years ago.
The best for Facts and data though is Francois from MTBR.
It would be good to get a comparison from those going straight from a Gen 1 to a Gen 2 SL.
My Gen 1 appears to be one of the quieter motors, there does seem to be a bit of variance and some also get noisier with age.
This is a little disappointing re motor noise if true. What are you comparing the noise to that you’ve ridden recently?
I see that you last rode the previous SL 3 years ago.
White S-Works frame is nicer than the black. If I got the black I’d get some decals made up to make it look like the 2021 S-Works that I have currently. Bronze Foil is stunning!
Doubt I’ll have the cash though
Great review. I’ve been watching his reviews for years. Bike and Night Riding lights mainly. He’s very good at getting details and data.
Looks like a great bike. His review may cost me a kidney😂
The video review motor noise by Rob makes the motor sound very similar.. Still also got the slightly higher pitch of the Gen 1 which doesn’t actually bother me.
I do remember Rob saying that the microphone position does make it sound louder on his previous videos though.
Hard to tell unless done...
They’re on the UK site now too.
They’ve brought in the better colour S-Works but only have an S3. I imagine stock will drift in over the next few weeks. All sizes of the black in stock apparently
