Hi
I can't help you regarding the coil shock but thought I would let you know that I have the Intrigue X E+2 elite. I have a size XS and I am about the same weight as your wife. I recently had my fork and shock serviced and switched over to a lighter oil. It's made quite a bit of difference for...
Hi
Sorry for the delay. I didn't have anyone around to take pictures of me on my bike yesterday!
I am not quite flat footed with seat all the way down, not far off though. As noted earlier should be able to swap out my post for a 120mm dropper (One Up).

Hi @Calinca
Can you please send me a link to the spec for your bike. I think I still have an app to overlay Cube specs with Intrigue so you can see the differences between frame size. It's not a full proof approach, as I think you should always try before buy (if possible) but as we know hard...
The Intrigue has a maestro flip chip adjustment. Here is a link so you know what I mean. Maestro Flip Chip | Giant Bicycles New Zealand. I run my bike in the low setting (see screen shot below). There is a slight adjustment with the seat tube angle and head tube angle, which surprisingly I can...
Hi
Yes, I can provide some of the details you requested.
Is it okay to ask a couple of questions about your current bike? Sounds like you really like it so selling it should be the last resort.
1) Is it just stand over clearance that's a problem currently? How bad is it, do you have to stand...
Hi
Are you having any luck running in your battery? I have the woman's version of your bike (Intrigue Elite 2). I have only had mine for a week. I have adjusted the torque settings on the different assistant levels (based on someone's comment on this blog). Will be trying it out the weekend to...
Couple of reasons.
1) Battery, 400 watts vs 320 watts on the SL
2) 85 Nm vs 50Nm - I am not getting any younger so thought the extra power maybe better suited in the long run
3) Price. I got the Liv on sale ($1k less than normal), so worked out $4.5k less than the SL. Specialized bikes are...
Oops, I did wonder if you meant that 🙂. Nice choice with regards to the Fuel EXe! Agree re market forces, XS sized bikes won't be topping the sales charts.
Hi
Yes, 85Nm and 400 battery. I haven't got the range extender as yet. I expect I will get one at some point in the future. It will be interesting to see what type of range I can get.
Hello from New Zealand
First time owner of an EMTB. I have been reading this blog for a while and have finally taken the plunge and purchased my first EMTB (with a crazy long name). I am a female rider, and a bit of a shorty so need an XS size frame. I considered the Specialized Turbo SL (2023)...
