The dream can live on a bit longer. Will just have to be patient and see what happens.
Interested to see the inevitable new price point on its re-launch

Decathlon doesn`t make the software update? You had to take the bike to a LBS?Mine came with the 85nm software but enabled in the wrong mode. It was set to road bike and 75nm, giving sport rather than emtb. Trip to LBS, a couple of minutes and £20 later and it’s put right.
My rear shock making black hydraulic fluid also, currently in my local decathlon for assessment, which is shock off and sent back to manufacturer for repair/replacement.
I have to say decathlon have been very, very good in handling my problems so far. No complaints at all and agreed, it’s a fabulous bike for my use and I’m missing it greatly at the moment.
Most Decathlon stores didn't have the equipment to make the update, however more are now able to do the update. If you go to the decathlon website and search for Bosch software upgrade you can then search for which stores can do it.Decathlon doesn`t make the software update? You had to take the bike to a LBS?
AgreedSrsly, ditch the Smart Sams.
I’m down with that also. Didn’t properly getting into riding till got rid, found technical stuff horrible with those soft slippy smart Sam’s. Got 2.6 ewilds running tubeless, low pressure , feels amazing. New fork and front wheel soon hopefully just watched robs latest video on the Stilus . His looks so sick. It makes me sick ?Srsly, ditch the Smart Sams.
Hose down but dont spray directly into motor , that’s what I do. Rinse , use brush/sponge and bike wash , rinse again.It may have rained a bit round here yesterday
Is it ok just to hose it down with the garden hose? Any suggestions on what to do with slipping around in the mud? Don't want to splash out on a new set of tyres just yet. I think mine are pumped up to 20psi but need to check that. Higher or lower to gain a bit more control?
Mine is stock with a new Ergon SM-EMTB saddle and some mudguards which didn't do much this morning.

I'm sure if you go through this thread you will read incidents of where bikes have arrived with bits missing, scratched, dented and poor assembly. You will find the same about this bike on other forums. That said, at it's price point, some people are prepared to put up with those issues.Which incidents? Never heard about. Thought that build quality was good - reviews, opinions, etc.
Good point but it doesn't mean that those that do moan dont have a valid reason to do so. I welcome all types of reviews so I can make my own mind up based on the ones that I feel are just. I'm sure we are now well versed in spotting all the different types of reviews, from the to the ? reviewers. Not sure which category I should be in ?Keep in mind the majority of happy owners aren't driven to join forums to sing the praises of their latest dishwashwer/lawn mower/e bike etc. It's human nature to have a moan, which these days means online & perceptions become distorted.
Yes get new tyres or you will be eating mud before you know it..LOLIt may have rained a bit round here yesterday

No such thing as the 'perfect' tyre pressure. Go tubeless to limit the amount of punctures and change the stock tyres if you want traction in mud.Just after a few more miles on it (around 60 in total), the suspension got way better!!
With the stock tires, wich shoud be the "perfect" tire pressure? (to avoid punctures, but to have some decent traction..)
m'kay ?I ran the stock tyres pretty low (depends on your weight of course), but I’m 75kg and tried pressures between 13 and 17psi (I’m tubeless).
it's a closely spaced short block tyre tread designed for dry conditions and to roll fast on paths and roads so obviously it's not going to be a very good mud tyre.The challenge is, no matter what pressure you run the stock Smart Sams at, they will not grip in loose or muddy conditions.
Decathlon cancelled the Stilus webpage. Entirely. Checked different sites (UK, IT, FR, etc.), all the same. What does this mean? Project ended (don't think so - it sold incredibly well)? Stilus will soon get some updates for 2021?
Apart the frame image, can we check the size on the bike (written somewhere in the frame) ?Some Geometry Information :

It's interesting that they say "This electrical assistance MTB has been selected by the Rockrider team for all-mountain riding."
Where as everything else they say that they've developed it. It also isn't presented as a "rockrider". Presumably it's made by someone else, so if anyones got a sharp eye, they might know what it is ??
It has SRAM Guide brakes (200mm) .
Apart the frame image, can we check the size on the bike (written somewhere in the frame) ?
Thanks for the confirmation, will measure mine also.Nope, the frame doesn't have any sizing information on it when you get it. The only way I could tell I had got a Large delivered correctly was to measure the frame with a Tape measure...
