Is this for 2018 or 2019 bikes ?

The black is far less prone to chipping than the coloured paint which is the main reason I went for black/ green as well. Just wait a few days to protect it.

Indeed the new motor case does seal it better. I recently got it fitted so they should be available in the UK elsewhere.

Here is a little nugget from Emtb Magazine app - the AllMtn 8.0 weighs 62.4 lbs / 28.3kg That's a lot of bike !

I hadn't heard anything about that either but my headset (2019 Expert) loosened off recently. It tightens up using a 5 or 6mm allen at the bottom of the steerer. I will keep a close eye on it from now on.

I think this design is a very good idea as the ingress point is on the inner edge which is more shielded from mud than the outer, also the cover will spin with the ring gear as you pedal and sling mud off, away from the axle. However it might not be possible in the 3D print material. I am...

"LSS DT – For the 2019 Turbo Levo Expert and S-Works models. They use DT Swiss wheels which have a smaller hub diameter" Has anyone used this version on an Expert without needing an O-ring bodge to help ?

No, keep reading. You buy it from Shapeways who print it then post it to you.

I guess a lot depends on what kind of trails you ride. The vast majority I use have uphill specific routes that were designed for non-Emtb use and are pretty easy on any Emtb, or fire roads that are also easy. I would much rather trade off climbing at 25kmh for more range and 14kmh. I don't use...

I don't really get the point of a more powerful and heavy motor for a pedal assist bike that is limited to 15mph. I can't imagine any climb that's not possible with a 90nm Brose bike that will be with a 120nm Flyon *using the same tyres*. If have to get off for a climb then I also need to...

Did you take the cover of to see if any mud made it into the gears ?

I think it looks quite bulky. If it rotated into the spokes (e.g. after a knock) then it would suffer pretty serious damage, and possibly lock the back wheel.

From what I have read torque and cadence are factors affecting power assist levels. These won't change. The speed influences how the motor switches off as you approach the limit, that should just be scaled up to the new speed limit of around 40kmh. Overall it should have no downsides.

Its 750g. I have an expert and was thinking about getting a 500w battery at some point.

Maxxis rate the WT tyres for 30-35mm rims and the 2019 Levo has 30mm width. I have the Minion DHF 2.5WT on both ends and they are fine. I measured them roughly at 2.5" on the nose. However Maxxis now have some 2.6x29 tyres available so they might be an option for you.

The 2019 Sworks with a smaller 500wh battery is supposed to be slightly under 20kg, for a price.

To answer the title question - its too early to say... I wouldn't say yes until after I have had the bike for a least a year and had no problems. As for reliability, I am not aware of anyone having an issue that stopped the 2019 bike working on the trail. Having to deal with noisy motors and...

I found there wasn't a lot of choice for matte finish frames like the 2019 Expert Green. I went with 'paragontapes' on Ebay which works quite well and isn't too noticeable except the edges.

Totally agree, vertical height and distance are the best indicators for new trails. You also need to factor in your weight and be honest about much pedalling effort you will be putting in.

No, but you could use the app to retune trail mode to be the same as eco mode, then maybe tune turbo mode to something more usable.
