Thanks Rob, I noticed another reviewer having a few pedal strikes.

It’s not too bad to be honest- I think 160mm crank arms might help.

Strive:ON vs Pole Voima?
It's funny, I've watched a bunch of reviews now and they all seem to contradict one another.
The BB is quite low, the BB is quite high, the chainstays are quite short, the chainstays are quite long, the tyres are a good burly spec, the tyres aren't burly enough... Etc!

Orbea must have severe supply chain issues.

The anti theft thing is interesting. Is there some sort of override if you manage to break your phone or if it dies/loses connection mid ride?
I think the Torque:ON might be a better comparison. Shame that doesn't come with the Bosch motor too...

Agreed, shame the Torque:On has Shimano. Or shame the Strive doesn't get Kashima in CFR build.
Not sure on the security - I had the same thought. What if your phone runs out of battery mid ride? Not like you can even charge it from the bike anymore like you used to be able to. I think if you fit a Kiox you can use that as the key though.

I guess you might need to have the phone connected for it to work, so if it died it would just disconnect and you could still ride the bike.
Either that or they're coming back to steal your phone

? Just a photoshop with Kashima?
Edit, ah yes, obvious Photoshop in the rear mech area.
Is it that cheap/easy to do?

CSU sadly isnt cheap. The CSU is £439.95
Yeah, I suspected as much, else people would be doing that rather than buying the Factory forks in the first place.

Someone has two bikes for sale, has been busy with photoshop, knows the price and has form for CSU swaps...... I'm guessing someone might have pressed the place order button!
My brother ordered a large CFR this morning, git! I'll have to keep slumming it with the used Crafty I just bought

And what was that you said in the review about not being able to tell any difference between the performance and Kashima coat? Tart!

'tis true!!And what was that you said in the review about not being able to tell any difference between the performance and Kashima coat? Tart!
just so happens I have a spare kashima CSU from when I converted something before, and a spare X2 Factory from another project... cant let them sit around feeling sorry for themselves
That's the problem with Kashima, everyone knows that it basically does nothing, yet that doesn't stop us from wanting that goldy goodness on our bikes!
I guess Fox know that though, which is why they sell a Kashima dropper post...
The SRAM mech is nice also, but more for the dentists...

Anyone knows the measures of the rear Shock? I have an 205x62.5 and don't know if it fits

Brother ordered this morning and got shipping confirmation this afternoon, pretty good!
It's right there in the first post in this topic
230x65
I'm wondering if i would take a 750Wh battery, could i use my spare 625Wh battery i already have.
i guess it should work with an adaptor like this Adapter Bosch battery from 400 / 500Wh to 625Wh
but then the weight will be higher up, not ideal. simular to 750Wh , but not as good as stock 625 bike i guess
since plug is at the top

it will be fun to hear if you like this better than the Voima, which you said was the best e-bike you've ridden

Yes, looking forward to testing both out this season. They are definitely 2 of my favourite bikes I've tested so far.
Any upgrades planned for the Canyon?

Hi! I ride a Trek Rail with a Lyrik 170/160 coil at the back.
Would this bike worth the difference in terms of money (selling mine and spending a lot more)?
Ps: I really like my ebike, but wonder what could be gained in terms of speed/confidance in the rough trails.
