I have two pre-production models of this saddle (same as production I believe, except white labels instead of black) and each lasted 3000km and still look brand new except slightly worn labels("stickers"?). I only use the grey, weakest rubber, wife uses none. I pondered using none as well since...

That's just 500-600 grams apart then, would be probably my GX Casette, Aenomaly Switchgrade, etc.. I might splurge on some E13 cassette and carbon wheelset to get it closer to 19kg. Noise is indeed my only complaint as well, although we have lots of brown bears on loose lately so it's almost...

Very interesting comparison, esp. the heating up even though it's just barely above 15C in forests right now in central Europe. But it does square up with some reports of the engine doing that, delivering less actual output over the whole ride than it does in initial climbs (i.e the reviewers...

Cool AmericanApparel colors /s The Ohlins build is nice though.

Well, Enduro didn't see update for 5 years at the moment so I wouldn't bet on any hurry with KSL"3".

I am not sure the numbers tell that to such degree: The engine is really light for its power, but it's just 200 grams lighter than Shimano (2.5KG vs 2.7KG), so nice, but, not crazy nice. Against Bosch yes.. But the battery doesn't feature anything denser than competition, here for example is...

I keep wondering about the evolution of speccing parts for e-bikes. From my understanding, it went like this: 1) Full-fats came (80nm+ torque): Brands came with 2300 grams wheelsets (DT HX1700 at 29"&35mm), 1500 gram tyres (Schwalbe Eddy Current), heavier cassettes,etc.. To withstand the...

LevoSL isn't even that terrible in this regard, my wife has OneUp2 180mm on her Medium and it's still 3cm lower than OneUp2 150 +Aenomaly on my KSL S3 :- ( The insertion depth on LSL is good enough for 210 for 178+cm people. Love how Rob instantly endur-bro every trail bike :- ). The brands...

Don't discount the mullet after one ride :- ) It takes a moment to get used to after riding it as 29ner before. But it will be more rear-biased regardless. I am riding mine as mullet for second year in row and it feels really natural. The only time I hit the stock pedals (very chunky Deity...

Watched briefly some of the new podcast videos on Rob's youtube and both the videos and like 90perc. of comments are giving me deja-vu. It's all about motor power and battery size. Exclusively. That's what e-bike discussions felt to me when I encountered this world 4 years ago. And so much...

With batteries it's important (but hard to do) to account for casing/packaging. I don't believe the actual cells density alone increased more than 10perc. Thought I agree that 600W would be ideal "lower" capacity for future.

Might have meant the anti-e-bike sentiment that seems very common in the US, but almost nonexistent in Europe.

The weights are in the builds section. 20.4KG for 9.7 in M-size. 20.8KG for 9.9 in M-size. Both measured tubeless with sealant (nice detail).

Looks like absolute slam-dunk hit. Would love to see this live, the BB area can't quite hide the packaging issue around the big battery, looks bit too full-fatty silhouette wise :- ). To me this is the perfect blend of SL and Full-Fat right now on market. 20.4KG for 9.7 Shimano build, and 20.8...

Right now it looks like it could go either way imho, as the same progress could minimize weight penalty of SL-style ebikes even further towards normal bikes. I really hope all the choices stay on market esp. since batteries are modular.

wow

Heh I just quoted their website :- )

"580 Wh and a weight of 2.6 kg (260 Wh per kg)" Looks like solid numbers. Mahle SL 320W (1.8kg) + 160W extender (1kg) make for 480Wh at 2.8kg combination. Looks like waiting for better battery package proved smart from Trek. Should be right around the YT's numbers, +/- 21KG before pedals for...

I think it's very light given that equal specced KSL (like my own custom one) would be 20kg inc. pedals, and this mid-power models are 2x as powerful with 50perc. more range that's very fair trade-off. I want to personally believe the same as Suns_SPD with mid-power being the true future winner...

I think it's personality thing, I don't get terribly embarrassed about it, but people give me very ugly looks sometimes :- ). The noise distracts from the serene feeling people go to forest for. Instead of listening to birds singing, they look around for asshole with DJI drone and it's even...
