First time ride on my KSL today, went with mates on regular bikes so spent most time in Eco or with motor off apart from when I needed to catch the group after having to make some adjustments. Worked really well in that setting plus was great doing a few more laps when others had packed up...

Well I just got my Expert for £4650. Swapped in my existing Hope Brakes and GX AXS (sadly not T Type) and got a deal on. a new 42mm OneUp stem and carbon bar (the OE bar shape is horrid), all in under £4800 for that better spec with new spare brakes and XO mech and shifter left over (swapped in...

I just borrowed my wife’s hairdryer.

Thanks for the tip, worked a treat.

I’ve got Hope Pro 4, GX AXS and Maxxis on my current bike which I’ve swapped out and chucked the original kit back in to sell (I’ll also chuck the new grip on the old bike to sell). I’ll keep the XO gears and brakes off the KSL as spares. Swapped out the stem and bars for OneUp kit, the stock...

Nice. I’ve just spent 4 hours doing invisiframe today. Just got to swap in and bleed brakes, change grips and tyres and fit pedals. And to think the bike arrived pretty much ready to ride 🙄

The heatgun (hairdryer) method, was this once you'd squeegied the full part on or did you heat as you squeegied (which in my experience makes the film susceptible to stretching? I'd like to do this on the down tube bit which is likely going to be a pain to remove and there's no harm in an extra...

Thanks, I’m not too hard on wheels as my locals are not rocky.

Thanks, was hoping I’d dodge application in some areas.

My KSL Expert turned up today and is now in the process of getting set up with some bits swapped from my current bike. Stem and bars swapped for One Up set up. Brakes removed ready for my Hope’s, GX AXS fitted. Next up is tubeless (and probably fit a part worn pair of Maxxis unless someone is...

Given my current ride my opinions count for little already.

Managed to have a sit on an S3 today which felt good and pretty similar sized to my current bike, I don't think I'd want much bigger. Standover was fine and I think I may be able to fit a 180mm OneUp dropper to replace the 150mm installed once I can measure up properly. I'd been eyeing this up...

Thanks for the responses thus far. I'm going to see if I can sit on an S3&4 over the next week or so to get an idea on size, I'd like to fit on an S4 to pick up the frame only, but suspect an S3 may be more suitable, i'll report back. Feedback on the flexibility of use is encouraging.

Hi, first time posting as I’m looking at a KSL given the good deals on full bikes and frames that are currently on (I know the new motor is due). I have a few questions, have not owned any sort of emtb before and currently on a SC Megatower. Sizing – I’m 5’10, average proportions (not long of...

Thanks, though I'd posted there, doh!!

Cheers, had seen that but only available in S4 (and worried about dropper insertion on the S4 hence the question above).
