Hi, received my 2025 One77 SLX in size L on wednesday and took 2 very short rides on it.

I ordered the Bike from Bike24 due to the 15% sale, all in cost me €4300 with shipping. Easily the best deal out there for a Gen 5 bosch.
Bike came shipped in an enormous box with both wheels attached, only the handle bars needed fitting.
Bike looks good in real life, proportions are nice, my size L was 24.8kg with tubes in the tyres, no pedals.

Negatives:
  • The battery cover is a pretty weak design, like a rubberized thing that just sits on top of the battery hole. I cant imagine that would fare well in wetter climates, even just cleaning the bike tons of water will flow into the cover.
  • Battery latching mechanism is really poor design, crazy amount of movement from stock. It seems it has the foam insert on the bottom part similar to the updates they made for trek rails. I moved the lower mount to tighten the battery, still a fair bit of play despite having to force the battery in. I have put a bit of foam on the inside back of my frameso the battery rests against it, this seems to have done a pretty good job silencing it. The mechanism also needs a key to unlcok the battery, I knew this going in, but it's still a tedious system. I wonder if I could replace it one day, i would hapilly have a really secure/stable mounting that took me a few minutes to unlock rather than the current fast but loose system.
  • Geo is as advertised, which is to say pretty standard but quite low. I didn't expect the bike to be so progressive though, both the fork and shock are only giving me 80% of travel despite normal sag values. Rear wheel will only take a Schwalbe 2.6 max, and even that is tight. Hitting cranks about as much as on my Giant, but I know I can get a bit more clearance by making the suspension more linear+stiffer.
  • Loam Shelf: I rode in slightly damp conditions (2hrs of rain the previous day), so much crap accumulates behind the seat tube. They have a rubber protector but for some incomprehensible reason it only covers the lower 20% of the area and not the 2 bearing areas that get covered in mud.
Positives:
  • Value is insane, even before the discount. I started moving over some of my components, bar/stem and wheels, planning to swap over the drivetrain (I ride 11s SRAM) and upgrade suspension eventually. That said, the bike out of the box is seriously good with absolutely no weak link. Seatpost/wheels/tyres/drivetrain/suspension/brakes, there isn't a single thing to throw away other than maybe the ugly stem (and its spacers), and the 165mm cranks, but that is quite personal.
  • Rides well, the bike is a bit longer in reach than my old one, but shorter out back. I need to get used to it, but feels good and much stiffer than my full alloy so far.
  • Very silent ride.
  • Very light feeling, probably helped by my overly stiff suspension, but despite only being ~1.5kg lighter than my outgoing Reign, the front can be picked up like it's nothing. I'm guessing the much shorter, lower placed and lighter battery help massively here.
  • Gen 5 Bosch is good, I think most people here have a gen 4 and can expect a similar feel for the Gen 5. Compared to my outgoing yamaha, I'm surprised how close the Yamaha was on low RPM torque, maybe even ahead. But once you start spinning and putting in a bit more effort there is definitely more power on tap from the Bosch. I'll do some range tests in the coming weeks, but it is a busy time at home/work currently.

Just interested to see how you’ve gotten along with the bike since your initial comments.

Have you come across any further issues with the battery cover and it lettering water in to the frame?

Have you had any instances where the battery becomes loose and you loose power or has your foam install solved this rattling?

Thanks

Didn't get any real riding in this week.

Water won't be an issue where I live as it's dry enough all year long, the message was more of a warning to UK and ireland riders.

I think the battery is quite stable, I do sometimes get a rattle but I think it's the chain. I'm moving a lot of stuff around from my old bike, I'll post updates here and there.

Right now the bike is sitting at 24.9kg with pedals, mudguard, pump and multi tool. Will probably get a zeb ultimate, and considering getting a 600wh battery to have a fully loaded 23.5kg build for most rides.

Those battery covers are not suppose to be waterproof because components inside are. They just keep most of it out.

That's the YT ~600ml bottle, note that I have a multi tool underneath it which raises the bottle about 2cm.

Out of the box BB was a bit lower than I had hoped, 335mm, definitely too low for 170mm rear with stock 165mm cranks.

I'm on a size L (475 reach) with a 40mm stem, I'm 1m78 tall. Longest bike I've ever owned, buy only by 5mm, feels good.

The stack is quite high on the bike, probably due to the headset. I have +40mm bars and am finding them taller than when I had them on my previous bike with a 180mm fork.

An rrp proguard will stop all the crap at the back,get th extender with it and the guard goes all the way down to the back of the motor,same rear pivot as mine,i have just replaced the bottom pivot bearings after two years.

First big ride: 30km 1250m+ 80% battery usage in full turbo, ~10degrees.

Bike felt great, the main aim was to beat my time on a tech rocky climb, got it down from 11.40 to 10.40 (baseline was my giant with Yamaha).

Felt good on jumps and most descents.

Great video! What stem have you got there, that's not original? And does it fit the oval rubber part beneath? What happened in the end of the vid, chainsuck?

Cheers!

Some random FSA stem, I replaced all the oval spacers with normal ones, only kept the base thing that the cables enter into.

I shifted up into an easy gear, but the chain slid 2-3 gears down instead. Luckily nothing got ripped off.
