If he brought the 700 battery new and he don’t ride much it should be sweet , me 500 had only lost 4% in 3 years ! When I brought the spare I took it to the spesh dealer for a test and asked to put the stronger one one 👍
Imo go;
full 29 Hope wheels , good for the price .
You’ll need to get 29 forks so eithe zeb ,fox or ohlins .
Brakes and drivetrain are ok but upgrade when worn .
Standard bars a too flat for me changed to Renthal 32 rise if I remember!
I don’t think the ksl range is an issue cos the power and weight is different , I’d have one , only my group is all on FF bikes !
You can get the battery pack extender for the ksl for all day rides !
Good advice but the bit about my wobbly middle aged arse I have to disagree 😂 the trouble with a 16mph cutout for me is I ride jumpy trails which need to be hit OVER 16 mph and it’s a effing pain in my nice arse if the motor stops pulling 6ft before a takeoff ! So derestricted with a ...

The 20 and 21 comp is the same bike so when the coil shocks break they send a fox dpx2 air (good upgrade) replacement so it might be a 21 model that hasn’t be used much . I got a dpx2 spare if you want it !

Yeah it’s the same motor but modified for better durability. I’ve got the same one on my 2020 bike and when the warranty expires in oct I’ll send it to the bearing man for a service and upgrade ! He also gives a warranty for the work he’s done 👍
I’ll be a bit clearer, on the 2021 models you get a 2 year warranty on motor/battery from the date of bike purchase . If after the 2 year warranty expires and the chap purchases a new motor then that will get a 2 year warranty also ! These no rolling warranty on Uk bikes !
