I for one (Aussie) am enjoying the fallout and tantrum throwing that comes from the US exceptionalism mindset.
Amflow: “America, you can’t have this bike because of reasons”
US-MAGA-Person: “We didn’t want it anyway, it’s a crap bike made in a third world country and we’re the best, we only buy...
For me it’s about the battery as much as it is the motor. The newer batteries have a higher energy density.
I can only guess Pivot got all these motors cheaply. They must have known the reputational damage they’d suffer. Sales must be really low.
All we have around here is loose rocks! The Transmission is objectively stronger. If it wasn’t, you wouldn’t see almost every EDR rider using one. A derailleur mechanical would end their race. Pretty sure they have a few rocks now and then.
I think you should try one, then you’ll have an...
I have 4 bikes, all running Transmission. I’ve had zero problems, far less than I’ve had previously on bikes with hangers. I think a bike brand would be silly to release a high end bike with anything else. They’re amazing.
I really wanted it too. Just say you thought the gen 4 race was a good idea. The problem is almost no one else does. So if you pay $22k AUD for the top spec model, it’ll almost immediately have a resale value of less than half that. I can’t handle that instant devaluation. Just like a car, it’s...
Without being rude, why do you care?
There are plenty of other attributes to a bike other than travel. My Levo SL gen 2 is 160/170 with coil, and I was rubbished for not just getting a Kenevo SL, despite the fact that I (and almost all LSL owners I know) did this knowingly and thoughtfully...
Knowing this will literally make the decision on buying it or not. I reckon the larger sizes must accommodate this, as the chainstays are longer.
I’ve asked in a few places, but no response. Strange that the info is not in the FAQ section of the bike on the SC website. Everything else is!
Does anyone have any info on whether a range extender will be made available for this? Can't find anything online about it. It'd make the difference to me between ordering to 600Wh or the 800Wh.
