I see the upgrade price in euros but now with the larger battery .
Yeah, just looked at Hungarian currency conversion (home of Zoza I think) and even with the current price shown on the site it is less than 200 gbp more when converted for UK, although 3300 gbp when doing the same for the Italian site price. Same happened last year.

Hi guys,

Today the price was increased by 20% in my country. Now i need to cancel my pre-order in the local decathlon shop. I will looking for another brands, in this price level it is another game.
I would have thought that as you “pre-ordered” you get it at the price it was when you ordered it, not the new higher price.

Until now we have had the V2 in the list with almost the same price like the V1. Now this price was increased.

Ah, that's a shock for you then. I paid 2700 gbp for V1 and am expecting to pay 3200 for the V2 (whi h is around 20% more).
Hope it goes OK for you and whatever choice you make ?.

It looks like the price was not correct. They updated the bike specs, but not the price. The price drop looks like the same what happened in the UK. I have no contract at the moment, i just asked the local shop to book one from the warehouse, when it will be availalble.

Hi Everyone. Have you had any problems with fitting longer dropper posts? I was trying to fit 175mm dropper (race face turbine r dropper), but it doesn't pass the funky bend in the seat tube, it simply gets stuck. Looking inside, is seems like there is bit more aluminium on the bend, hence stopping the dropper post to go any further. Is there an easy way to make this thing to fit? A hammer?

I guess the frame is too small and hence your problem with seat tube length in lauding bend. I have an XL and with the standard dropper insert all the way down, I can touch the floor while sat, then with the post extended the way up, I have a good riding height-I am 5 10" and 32" leg. Was going to go for L but thought this would happen looking at the bend.
Just about to buy one (bike) for the missus and this could be an issue.
Hope you find a solution but it's gonna be a good ol: search. Oh, and maybe leave the hammer in the box?.

You'll love it ZoZa, I've done over 100 miles this weekend :)

If you do a lot of off-road riding, you may want to upgrade the tyres, although if you are mainly in roads, or hard packed trails, I found the standard Smart Sams ok, just in loose or muddy terrain they were not good at all.

There are lot's of owners on here, so if you have any questions there is help available!

Nice to see numbers growing.
In that point, anyone got any news on when the first V2's will hit out shores/website?
I was gonna ask Rob directly but I know he has got enough parts to build another one since doing all the upgrades ??.
Seriously, need one for the missus so we can be matching Stilus saddos.

Sad news: decathlon has cancelled my order. They said, there was a huge IT problem with the website, and the showed stock was only virtually. My main problem is, i was able to order and of course completed the order paying with credit card. The ammount of the 3400 euro was taken. They said, they are not able to do a refund, cause this IT problem. So at the moment, no bike and no money. They are working on any solution to transfer my money back but it can takes about 14 days..

They did this to me a couple of times last year. Keep on at them & you will get your bike. Good luck.

This happened to me when I first ordered too. I did get one eventually.

900+ on the clock & £500 above retail. Be interesting to see if it goes at that price, given that other than the Kiox, the upgrades are nothing much to shout about.
