mabey they will hold out on the bigger battery to catch you later for a bit more Mular after the bike has been around for a few months like YT are planing.Really like that!
But I agree with @Doomanic its a shame that for folks who would like a bigger battery that many of the new 2020 Shimano bikes won't come with anything bigger than a 500Wh.
Me too. It's biiiiig though. Even bigger that the Vitus.Really like that!
It will be I’m the making as we speak I’m sure, as they won’t want to be left behind and also Shimano will want to integrate their lecky gear tech onto the new gen bikesIt uses the proprietary Shimano battery, so unlikely. YT uses a bespoke battery unique to the Decoy.
Of course Shimano May bring out a larger battery in due course
Bugger.....im waiting for a 2019 to turn up in the post.
I don't see how the new battery could possibly make the CG of the bike lower or reduce the all up weight. If you look where the hole is under the downtube, it goes higher (above the fork bridge) than where the top of the external battery gets to. That external battery also has more volume and weight towards the back/bottom vs the internal which obviously has parallel sides:...The internal battery is supposed to lower the weight even more...
...Shimano states new internal battery is 2.9kg vs 2.6kg for external. (Not including the extra stuff the manufacturer bolts on to it I suppose)
Maybe they employed the marketing agency Specialized use; they are world leading experts in that...The ‘marketing w@nk’ certainly suggested it has a lower CoG. Not arguing with your pics it’s just what they said.
I made an animation just for fun. The image is showing aproximately where I believe the COG for the battery is. And the photos are centered around the crank. As we can see the battery COG is further forward for the 2020, but horizontal distance to crank appears to be about the same. But if you consider COG relative to the hubs, adjusted for sag, then who knows, maybe the 2020 wins. That might be what Commencal is saying.I don't see how the new battery could possibly make the CG of the bike lower or reduce the all up weight.
