I almost couldn't believe my eyes, but the US site is updated and there are 3-1K price drops and the Expert increased by $500 due to AXS and the X2 Performance Elite. The Elite price increase makes ZERO sense with the Pro now only costing $500 more and much better spec, though no AXS. Unless you...
I'm not using a speed sensor on this bike mullet, or my previous 29er. No need as the motor and Strava records the speed and it seems to be accurate enough.
On my previous 29, the distance was always pretty close with Strava, so not an issue like the OP is having. I have't used my Garmin on...
Coming from a Rise and looking at the 23 Wild, I would get the Wild of the bikes on your list 170/160. I'm not biased as I just put a deposit on 22 Levo after one demo ride.
I could be wrong, but from looks alone, the Pole will be the least agile bike on your list.

I will take my 2022 out the door for $8445 after tax any day. I‘m throwing on my XX1 AXS that I already have along with an X01 cassette/chain. I put a deposit down last night. I may even throw on a Oneup 210 dropper that the S4 doesn’t come with. It comes with the 180mm.
This is the main reason why the Relay has been delayed. A few reliability issues and limited product. Replacement motors are far and few right now. My LBS has been waiting about a month now for a new motor for their Pivot SL demo bike. Also the range is sub par and not as good as you would think...
I've been exclusively on carbon wheels over the past 5 years and now probably I'm going to give alloy a try. I would also take DT Swiss 240/350 hubs over any hub out there.
I heard about all the X2 issues. If going to a coil, the Comp is a no brainer. I have a Fox DHX2 sitting in a box, but I'm not sure if they are recommended with either link.
