Riding a Kenevo i'm totally in for more range (for longer trips in the swiss alps) while keeping the weight as low as possible but without losing durability! Don't need more power at all, 100% Turbo is more than i need.
Expensive wheels, tubeless and lighter tyres. Were the biggest loss.
Here's a screenshot of my geeky spreadsheet that shows the weight loss and how much it cost... View attachment 12941
Yes mate.@All Mountain Coaching if the cost to you is zero is that because you already owned the parts?
20.9kg in winter setup from memory with pedals. (2x Mary soft)Expensive wheels, tubeless and lighter tyres. Were the biggest loss.

here's mine (or how to make a vitus 2019 E-sommet VR weigh sub 47lb)

What does your Levo weigh now?
and what wheels does it have?
That wheelset cost nearly as much as my bike! I'd be afraid to get them dirty! Riding them on rock gardens is more ballsy than any drop...Yes mate.

You're not kidding a bit lighter. My new chainring was bigger and less than half the weight. That was shocking.20.9kg in winter setup from memory with pedals. (2x Mary soft)
very nice!
Never understood how we stand for manufacturers claimed bike weights omitting pedals.
I still have a 36t Alu chainring to fit which is a good bit lighter than the stock steel shimano 34t but other than that there's pretty much nothing else I'd swap out on mine for anything lighter.
Carbon bars give me the fear but frames and rims don't. I haven't dinged a single rim since I last raced DH over 15 years back though (I run higher pressures nowadays and rarely take such consequential lines) so carbon rims would probably work fine for me but there are a few non-ebikes here that would benefit from them more if I was feeling spendy.
Love this! I wouldn't show this to your non-biking friends tho #StraightJacketExpensive wheels, tubeless and lighter tyres. Were the biggest loss.

Hmm... interesting.I go through bearings a lot though.
It's holding up well. The black coating is more removed than any of my previous, normal bikes for sure, bit it's shifting accurate and well with well over 1200 miles. I've figured out and adapted ebike shifting to be even more sympathetic.Love this! I wouldn't show this to your non-biking friends tho #StraightJacketExpensive wheels, tubeless and lighter tyres.

looks like a dream build!
How is the cassette treating you? All my GX cassette's were shredded by my bike and would skip under pressure. Went with a NX which has much taller teeth, no issues but a heavy block o' steel
No, I went through other bearings as much. Definitely more on the bigger wheels. I portion it to either cornering like a mofo. Or... The slam of the front wheel from all rear wheel action. I honestly get the front wheel up in the air at every opportunity. Not to show off (ok not all the time), just because I'm practising too. Or it's a combination of both. lHmm... interesting.I go through bearings a lot though.
Any more so than you did with alu rims? same hubs? or different?
Reading between the lines do you reckon the added rim stiffness could be a contributing factor?
Hard to tell I suppose as bearing life can be a lottery even sticking with tried and trusted branded bearings.
I always go through bolt thru front hub bearings way faster than rears. on all my bikes
5 min job to replace them though and way less of a PITA than replacing rears

Awaits developments - esp from Fazua, as the detachable motor/battery makes (*I think) remote based servicing/replacement for long term owners a better option
Looks to be various version up on several websites, so I suspect a bit like with the Rail shops have listed it before the official release - someone at Trek UK isn't very good at this whole bike launch thing!Another possible release on the horizon .. or something which was abandoned and never made it due to Covid ? ..
Trek XC bike. 60mm rear, 100mm front. Fazua motor system. Can't find an exact weight but I work it out at about 14.2kg's for the 9.9 with the 2.4 XR3's and tubes.

Shhhhsssssssss .... it's secret !Looks to be various version up on several websites, so I suspect a bit like with the Rail shops have listed it before the official release - someone at Trek UK isn't very good at this whole bike launch thing!
Dealers are generally privy to information/specs and pics of most brands new products proir to public release. How the brand stipulates the secrecy of that information and whether they empose fines on a dealer found to "leak" that info is down to the brand and the terms of the dealership. Nothing is completely secret in the industry. Plenty isn't tallked about outside a select circle though.I guess so. Either that or they give the details to the bike shops to put it up, then delay the actual launch but don't notify ?? Or it's a sneaky way of getting free publicity first ?
Lol - exactly what I was thinking, there's some potential right thereI think I'd love a Fazua Superocaliber... but I'm not sure it'd last too long once I'd put a short stem, risers and smaller wheels on it and rode it the way I'd like to.
The limiting range factor there will be the battery on the electric gears , the sram is uselessAnother possible release on the horizon .. or something which was abandoned and never made it due to Covid ? ..
