Selling a brand new (vitus branded) spare battery off a E-Sommet if anyone is interested - please DM me. £400 cash on collection from West London or Worcestershire. Or I will ship in UK at your risk / cost. It came directly from CRC/Wiggle. I bought it a few weeks ago, but have decided to...

So the E-Sommet is going back to Wiggle under the 30 days test ride. The Pro model has been ordered. My justification for not spending another £1k is carbon wheels not so important on a 50lb bike, factory dropper would have be sold regardless as I'll put a 185mm Revive on it, kashima...

Shimano motor is more stop/start jerky when you start/stop peddling too. Feels like an on/off switch where as the kenevo feels more smooth. Id agree that peak power feels slightly stronger on brose. Shimano sounds like a really loud tamyia radio controlled car compared to the silent (v1.3)...

Ok so i’ve been in touch with YT. When asking the level of suspension on the pro level, they came back and said it was elite with a grip2 damper. On questioning this (as photo shows grip not grip2) they reconfirmed: Michael Lifka (YT Industries) Apr 2, 17:39 CEST Hello Richard, I'm...

Also there are connections to plug lights into too apparently - well thought out.

The Di2 power comes from the main bike battery. In testing YT blasted the battery with a pressure washer on full power with no water ingress.

Yea that makes me think they are peformance forks which have had new decals to match colour, and mistakenly say elite...

Yea I mentioned this earlier in the thread. It looks like that's just a performance fork with an Elite sticker. Its one of the main reasons I'm put off by the pro model. Elite should come with a Fit4 or Grip2 damper for 2019. Or a Fit4 or RC2 if its an 2018... Unless the 'E' version is...

Will they have Decoys do you know?

Thanks. I guess you may be able to bump the fork up to 180mm, switch it to high mode and then run 2x. 27.5x2.8 or even 2.6 wheels... the same idea as the pivot firebird 29. Side comment: I noticed the pro version says Perfomance Elite, but the photos show a Performace compression dial, not a...

Thanks for answering all these questions Rob - your the only reviewer who is so dedicated to their reader base! If its more nimble than the kenevo, How does it compare to the E-sommet? As that is a lot more nimble than a kenevo but still very capable.

Rob - so what did the mismatched wheels feel like? Thats the biggest disappointment I saw. I would have loved it to be 27.5x2.6 front and rear. Value is incredible. Pro race is arguably better spec than an £10k S-works, and £5k pro is better spec than the £8k top end Norco...

No, I’m trying to find out. Check out YTs instagram. Yea ejeffsy would be of no interest.

Yea I got mine from Chris too, exceptional reputation. YT’s ebike is about to drop too so that could really throw a spanner in the works!

Mine, delivered about 2 weeks ago, was by tuffnells. I had no damage

Yea nightmare. I way prefer the esommet over the kenevo, but these sort of horror stories are making me consider returning the sommet under the 30 day test ride and keep the kenevo...

That is really shit... I would fight for a full refund for the full bike

Hi Gary, sorry, it sold this afternoon.

Yea, couldn’t resist a cheaper way to get a battery and a few spare parts for my VR... Hence happy to let the frame go for a silly price.

No idea. Hence why I said make an offer. Its brand new but with minor marks (few scratches on the stays from being stored in the CRC workshops, but no big paint chips like you see on the damaged in transit ones) If you send me your email or mobile number I’ll send you photos. Its basicly all...
