Update for this post from last year. I recently swapped my 160mm Yari with 180mm Zeb Ultimate and set the mino link on high setting. Rides very well.

Got this from one of my road bike “friends”.

I’m 100kg. I’d recommend to set your air pressure to achieve 30% sag. Increase spacers one at a time to prevent bottom out. Consider using cushcore with a thick sidewall tire and run 18psi. No squirm and the cushcores will do wonders to your suppleness and tire traction at lower pressures...

My Bosch Gen 2 is bulletproof.

Sedona is an amazing place to ride. Several hundred trails.

Another brisk ride in the forest.

Great choice on the Zeb Ultimate. I have tried a bunch of forks. I believe the Zeb Ultimate is the best out right now. I weigh 100kg and run with zero tokens and 79psi. Just to give you a reference. I don’t do jumps or drops. Just hard fast riding flow trails with occasional chunk.

I own two analog niner Rip 9 RDOs. Love them. What motor do you have ?

I could never own a bike that loud.

Have you owned other e-bikes? If so which one?

I’m interested in the e-caliber. Anyone ride it without the motor? How is it? I love my gen-2 Bosch in my Trek Powerfly which I plan to keep. I have a few nice analog bikes but I was looking at this bike because of weight; although, I’m concerned about power. I had a 2019 Kenevo with a brose...

1. Zeb Ultimate 2. Cushcore 3. Butcher Black Diamond 4. Super Deluxe + w/ MegNeg

Trek Powerfly LT 9.7

Carbon or aluminum frame? I’ve got a frame creak on my Kenevo since new. My Carbon bikes don’t creak.

Less tokens means larger air chamber which means more air volume which equals more compressibility. If you get the MegNeg upgrade later you can adjust both the positive and negative air volume.

My 3 ebikes have been flawless the last three years. No issues whatsoever. There. Did that help you ?

I love my cushcores. Typical ride at 20 psi. I’ve ridden as low as 15 psi but find 20 psi is my sweet spot. It also adds some suppleness to the ride. Better grip, better sidewall support. You can ride back to the car with zero pressure. I’ve done it.

Not a weight issue. Stiffness is very noticeable. I only want to ride Carbon frames. I’ve had both.

I can’t tell the difference. Maybe I could if I was a better rider.

Once you’ve dialed in your rebound and still feel you need to reduce harshness… try installing cushcores. If you still need to reduce harshness… add a MegNeg can to your RS Deluxe. The large neg volume helps with suppleness.
