On paper I would do the '20 comp. I've become a carbon snob and am leaning towards a '19 expert. A dealer in town is willing to order one in for 7,000. I think I will hold out for a week or two to see if spec discounts the '19s. So far they are the same price to the dealer, no discount. Ideally...
Hi Guys, curious if anyone has ridden a similar spec aluminum and carbon levo back to back. Doesn't anyone noticed a difference? The main thing I am concerned with is the vibration dampening that carbon normally provides. The 2020 comp is temping but I'm not sure about going back to alum. I've...
Won’t the lower bottom bracket of the evo spec be a pedal strike machine? Reading reviews on the evo sj it’s border line too low for normal trail riding.
If you can stomach the price and or get a deal the Levo seems to be the best option for trail riding. I have a ‘18 Levo and didn’t want to go backwards on the motor. Eventually I suspect the direct to consumer brands like YT will provide more value and win but for now the dealer network and...
The motor and battery integration are the main differences. I believe the Brose motor to be a better refined package than the Shimano. The Shimano motor is noticeably more noisy. The decoy spec is amazing. If they integrated the battery and if Shimano released a higher torque motor I would be in...
Carbon race face bars make a noticeable difference to me. I’ve had them for 3 years but this weekend switched back to the stock bars to experiment with rise/stem length. The trails are pretty rough here at the moment from idiot hikers stomping around in the mud. The past weeks I didn’t feel any...
I wonder if the new kenevo will slot in line with the YT in terms of an enduro bike instead of a mini downhill in its current form. The new frame should allow them to drop 2-3 lbs I would think?
Ok thanks. Ohlins and specialized were playing games like that on 2018 forks. Unless you really read the fine print you thought you were getting the $1200 fork offered direct from ohlins. Turns out it was a one off for specialized that was far less effective.
Can you expand on this a bit. Does this meant the fork is inferior to the factory by a long shot? I assumed it was just the coating that was the difference.
The E8000 seems to be a little long the tooth. They must have an updated model coming out any day I would think?
If you wait it out the next year's YT should have 700w battery and updated shimano motor (assuming there is one on the horizon)
Can anyone speak to the differences between a brose levo motor and the shimano e8000. It looks like the shimano motor has less torque. Is it a big enough difference to be a deal breaker?
