There have been some reports of issues with the e-thirteen cassette. Apparently a manufacturing issue and YT are swapping them out when issues arise.
Came across a guy who had problems with the spokes coming loose & breaking on his e-thirteen wheels. Not seen on mine.
There were some early battery issues (which seem to have been resolved).
Rattling from the frame. In some cases it was pivots, in my case it was cables above the battery slot.
Most people seem to hate the provided saddle me included.
Shimano error codes were an issue but again seem to have been fixed with updates.
I'm not a fan of the stop block in the headset. Not sure why its there as the forks look like they would clear the down tube fine, maybe they were thinking of DH forks.
Definitely gravity focused in the low setting yet surprisingly poppy at the same time. Riding at Afan yesterday I did find the forks a bit 'floppy' round the switchbacks on the climbs so I have swapped the flip chips to the high setting for the next outing to see how that goes.
I'm really enjoying the bike so far.
