I inquired a month ago about the ohlins version and got this reply. (USA btw)

"Please be aware though, that there have been some delays among the supply chain and the Ohlins could very well come in early July."

Awesome! I changed my order from the Ohlins to the Teams in October and got my bike 2 weeks later. My wife her bike arrived way early Glad you'll get it now buddy! Post some pics of it once it is build up!

Dude that bike looks absolutely stunning. I normally dislike the shiny chrome stuff but that reminds me of an old warbird with that finish.

Hi, congratulations for the bike I love it, I'm considering selling the Levo and buying this one, have you encountered annoying noise with the Shimano Ep8 motor?

Hello, first of all the bike rides awesome!

My previous bike was a commencal meta power race 27.5.
At 180cm I was afraid of getting a large, but it’s spot on. I guess the bike looks bigger on paper and numbers than it actually feels.
About the motor. Compared to the e8000 it feels smoother and more power on lower cadence, but its not a huge difference ( and really I don’t need more power anyway)
About the noise. Uphill it’s more quite, which is nice. And yes on the downhill you can hear a slight clunking noise from the gears. It does not bother me and it’s certainly not a dealbreaker.
I guess if you concentrate on it, it might put of some people, but are those people concentrating enough on the trail itself?
I’m focused on the lines I’m riding not the noise.

The ohlins suspension is from another world...mind blowing really, And so easy to setup according to the trails you are on. Just bring suspension pump and up or down the pressure in the ramp up chamber...so good. I also feel a really nice difference if you turn on the HSC and LSC.

To summarize: awesome bike, it’s a real looker which performs, super stable at speed but still playful, confidence inspiring

I am trying to understand how much autonomy this ep8 has with this battery because with my wife we make tours of even more days with backpack on our shoulders, with the Levo and 700 battery we have no problems but I want to change

If you do find you have range issues, you can always reduce the assistance settings with stunlocker - which would in turn give you more autonomy.

thanks, I don't know shimano motors and didn't know this app, I always had specialized Kenevo /Levo and I only know Blevo, i like it very much

I ordered a sc hekler years ago polished and a bit of a bastad to keep clean (no lacquer).
Still hanging up in my garage....

I’m no paintexpert. All I can say is: bike is really easy to clean and really rewarding to do so.
It’s ppf protected also (ridewrap)
