Best I can do is the following
Medium 2022 VLT Range
720 wH battery
tubeless with 200mL fluid total
factory brakes and rotors removed
Magura MT5
Magura MDR-P
DMR v12 pedals
spare tube
full length RRP mudguard
a bit of mud
28kg
Battery weights are apparently
540Wh – 3.19kg
720Wh – 3.88kg...
Battery sorted. Tubeless setup up.
couple of decent rides so far. 50km and 1500m of climbing. I managed to use 96% of the battery. I was a bit shattered.
Comfortable ride, surprisingly nimble. Great climber. The downhill portions were something else.
Stoked so far.
Was going to buy a rail but got too good a deal on a Range A1. Bought it instead. Replaced the factory brakes/disks with some Magura MT5's and some MDR-P rotors (I've got a Norco Sight as well and that also felt under-specced in the brake department for my mass).
Only managed a ride home in...
Cool, great bunch of suggestions, my plan after it gets wrapped is to swap the tyres for some Maxxis ones I have here, install the Tannus inserts I've got, add some stans, charge the battery, check all the torques and then thrash it.
Pulled the pin on a 9.8XT - due in July. I've got a while for any must haves before I ride it.
At this stage my only plan is a full ride-wrap kit. I've a set of Magura MT5's sitting around but suspect I won't need those.
Suggestions welcomed.
Agreed - I've got a big Enduro bike but feel the need for something shorter and more lively for tighter trails than that big bus ;)
I did the maths on copper/shock/fork and the 9.8 is a no-brainer plus you get the newer Smart System and a much bigger battery.
Out of interest why are you...
awesome - this is what I came looking for - 178cm with short legs, Medium it is. Now to find out of the LBS will take qmastercard, if yes It's going to be hard to not buy the 9.8XT over the 7
