I think you're right saying the auto industry is not offering what the market wants especially in North America where cars got so large and expensive, even the Honda Civic got very expensive here. However we could say the same for a lot of eMTBs as they got very expensive and disposable income...

Did you send your X2 to Fox ? 2024 X2 is pretty much fixed, no more squelching. The shock is a little bit less sensitive as Fox added a negative air spacer so you run less pressure in the shock on top of the other changes below. New base valve piston design and compression tune said to...

Some nice fall riding in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec. Sometimes these rides on ECO with friends on regular MTBs that are much fitter than me are pretty fun!

Not sure why so many people are buying cash, you should be paying everything with a credit card and pay the full amount at the end of month at the bare minimum (extra security and free cashback or rewards). The only time you should pay cash is if your bike shop is doing a rebate by paying that...

Some more pics, can't get over how great the paint looks! XT LinkGlide 11 speed drivetrain is quite surprising, that thing is almost as smooth as T-Type but mechanical, sad that Shimano struggled to get LinkGlide stuff out on the market until now and XT LinkGlide is still VERY rare. The only...

I just picked up my 2024 Reign E+1 from my Giant store, paint is so nice in person, it's a mix of blue, purple and sometimes it's looking grey/green in the sun...crazy! Staff at the shop were loving it so much that 2 of them ordered one for themselves. Only modification for now is a 2025 Fox...

That's some crazy pricing in your country! In Canada the Turbo Levo S-Works is more than double the price of a Reign E+1. Levo would need to be 60-65% off to match price, not happening.

Verify if the magnet on the rotor is clean just in case, otherwise if I remember correctly a 6A error will cost you a visit to a Giant dealer to have the motor reprogrammed.

I believe the Levo delay is more linked to the new Brose motor delay than Specialized switching to a new supplier, but anything is possible. These long term relationships between some of these companies will be hard to break (Specialized-Brose, Giant-Yamaha, Trek-Bosch & ETC.) and so many...

If DJI are to take over the market short term as some people are saying on here, they have no choice but to sign large OEM contracts with established MTB brands as soon as possible. There's no way they will be able to compete on a business perspective if they only rely on unknown chinese MTB...

DJI have no dealer network in place, no proper warranty service, no established reliability and no large contracts as OEM to reach out to the market in any significant numbers...how the hell are you able to tell that they're going to nail all of this in a year before they even release their...

Miscalculated the market ? Bosch are taking over the market at full speed more than ever right now. It'll take years for them to catch up even if their products are very promising.

Bringing back this topic, is this really an issue ? Maybe someone running a CUES LG400 cassette could report ? I don't think the LG400 cassette will eat the body like it was aluminum, but definitely could do some small indents like the pictures above.

A large company like Santa Cruz can't be taking business decisions based on guesses, that motor didn't even hit the market yet....give it some time before any serious bike company even consider them. I agree that Santa Cruz made a mistake restricting the Vala to the 600wh battery as a lot of...

More eMTBs should come with the new Shimano CUES or XT LinkGlide 11 speed drivetrains, perfect eMTB drivetrain at a very reasonable price. That new DJI motor is going to mess up the EWS-E for sure if a team finds a way to run it, motor is going to be like 20 minutes faster than other teams over...

So you're telling me choosing a new player in the market with no history at all, very limited product support & distribution and no reliability data would be a safe bet for them ? Yeah right. Santa Cruz faced a lot of criticism because of poor reliability of EP8 and Fazua systems in the last...

Same here and I'm very heavy. Not a single error code or overheating situation in 3000km with a 2022 Reign E+2.

They didn't miss anything as it would be a major gamble to go DJI right now with no proven reliability or anything, going Bosch was the best decision for them. DJI is also Chinese and DJI drones are about to get banned in the USA as a reference. Canada is also fighting against some Chinese...

I also think they will spec the 800wh. Limiting the Vala to the 600wh was a mistake in my mind, full power eMTBs should always have a large battery option instead of being forced to plug in a range extender like SL eMTBs.

There was no confirmation, but the Bullit was a very popular bike before they let it rot with a small battery since launch in 2020 and no updates except EP801. It's almost 99% guaranteed SC are cooking a new Bullit with the new Bosch system & 4 bar suspension. They need to replace the existing...
