About 150 miles on my 2024 E160 RSX and I am so impressed I had to comment!.
I bought an E160 RSX when they first launched in June 2022 and it performed flawlessly for over 1000 miles and was so pleased with that bike I decided to buy the same bike again in May 24. The only real spec difference between the bikes is the 24 has Sram T type AXS whereas the 22 has the first gen AXS....oh and the 24 has a chain guide. Not sure why...the 22 does not and never had any chain issues. So I set up the 24 exactly the same as the 22. High rise Deity bars and Ergon saddle. Nothing else needs changing.
Using both AXS systems on the same bike I really see no benefit in the more expensive T type ......and I never use either the 10t or 50/52t on either bike!
The "magic" of the E160 RSX is its front to rear balance requiring very little rider weight shift whether climbing, doing steep descents, drops or jumps. And of course its components are all top notch.
There is however one aspect of the 24 bike that is even better than the 22 version and that is the suspension tune. Both have the Fox 38 Performance Elite and Fox Float Performance Elite (160/155) but both shock and Fork are far more plush but with good ramp up. In fact the Fork feels the same as the one on my E180RS which was the E tuned version.
Love this bike!
