- E- wilds - great compromise tyre - Rev grips (expensive but game-changer for arm pump/hand pain) - schwalbe pro-core - best rim-insert system if a bit finnikey - charger 2.1 damper upgrade and 170mm aire shaft - incremental improvement in damping - monarch plus with megneg - better small bump...

No - i love coils but this frame isn’t progressive enough for one and I’ve not had much luck with progressive springs in the past. Part of the great stuff about this bike is how its somehow makes a 25kg bike poppy and playful, the air shocks contribute to that.

exactly this... get a vorsprung secus for the fork and you have the same thing both ends! Lovely!

Not tried it, but if you ride even semi-enthusiastically i don’t think you’ll get the progression you need, the leverage rate of the frame feels pretty flat to me. I upgraded to a super deluxe with a meg neg and custom tune and its awesome - cost about £400 all in. Can’t imagine it could be any...

Awesome aren't they! Love mine. need to do some exploring up that way as half of wales is shut. Don't want to waste time on rubbish routes though! Whats the route?

you’ll want a stronger rear tyre if you ride anywhere rocky. Other than that the spec is pretty good out of the box.

The rear shock is fine, but it can benefit from an upgrade. Certainly wont hold you back. I’m putting a custom tuned super-deluxe ultimate on mine shortly.

210x55 - i’ve just got a super deluxe ultimate custom tuned to put in.

It doesnt run at max current for the 4 hours though.... i think once will be comfortable, twice would rely on both charges being from not fully drained. Any longer and I’ll book a campsite and charge both batteries and the bike on hook up.

This is standalone, i have another battery wired into my van for fridge and lights :-)

Thanks for the info. A good 130ah Leisure battery and 1000w pure sine inverter came to £145. That should charge my 625 twice if its not empty and leave the leisure battery in my van for lights, fridge etc.... i’ll make a standalone power pack out of it somehow and it will be an e-bike charging...

No, its not - not on mine anyway. if I concentrate really hard when its very rough i can hear something, but its very quiet, not at alllike the review vids you see on bosch gen 4. The bike overall is quite quiet. MUCH better than the trek rail I test rode, that was ridiculously loud to the...

:-)

Just hook inverter up to battery pos and neg not grounded to the van? Makes it easier if safe

It’ll be a 2nd leisure battery that i’ll not take all the time, so thinking of turning it into a bit of a mobile power station. Just need to figure out a neat way of earthing it.

I’ve nust got 1000w inverter and a spare leisure battery. Was the cheapest solution really. May even get a couple of chRges out of it aince its the only thing it’ll be ised for.

Mine’s only 110ah so I’d never power my fridge charging. 625 battery

Neither, get procore. Adjustable, more impact on tyre behaviour, replace a cheap part when it breaks instead of the whole thing going in the bin. Also slightly less swear-inducing to fit.

First time E-biker! To be honest as a keep mtb/enduro racer etc... I'd always thaught e-bikes were for people who didn't fancy pedaling and would handle like pigs... How wrong I was. My Yeti SB130LR is already sold as I just don't see me riding it now I have this.... what a machine! Pic from 3...
