Look what just arrived
Was always there. It's a kind of cover for the shock. I read that review also. Time will tell. Surely a touch if lube will help? We all need a touch of lube in our lives now and again don't we? ?Very nice.... What is that orange thing covering the base of the shock? Is that fix for the issues reported in the E-Mountainbike review where the rear end started to creak and squeek? Given how elegant the rest of the bike is it's a little unfortunate...

Not sure about the UK but is the only one here in Ireland.Thats a shock cover to keep the crud off the shock, as seen on Vitus, Mondraker etc etc
Very nice - must be about the first in the UK?
Not sure about a review as such as I'm neither a pro or very eloquent. I'll certainly be honest for good or evil. Watch this space.Wow, I can't believe it is here. I thought it was still months away. Awesome bike VERY jeaous. Hope to get my flyon faster than expected too! (Same mother company).
By the way, make a review when you can please. Curious to know if the weight benefits are as apparent as the more official reviews indicate
Yes just clocked the username!Not sure about the UK but is the only one here in Ireland.
I didn't think that the review was that bad considering the anticipation surrounding this bike. They seem to have taken issue with the rear shock. It is in an awkward spot. I'll know more in the coming days.That's a stunner. Hopefully it rides better than the review stated.
Maybe they were harsh because it was a highly anticipated bike?!
Guy in the shop said it weighed in at 18.2 kg all on. Itll be going tubeless so not sure if that'll add weight or remove it. I'll let you know when it's done. I do know it feels very light in comparison to my Scott which weighs in at 27.6 kg. Website states that at 23kg btw. Maybe it's the medium that's 17.5? Mines a large.Any chance you can give us a real world weight on it?
?for you. Flyon looks unreal but not for me. Eco on my shimano is too much power even for my wants. I'm sure you'll love it.Wow, I can't believe it is here. I thought it was still months away. Awesome bike VERY jeaous. Hope to get my flyon faster than expected too! (Same mother company).

I know, two opposite extremes. I think both look extremely promising and I would also love a zesty...?for you. Flyon looks unreal but not for me. Eco on my shimano is too much power even for my wants. I'm sure you'll love it.
Theres no lappiere in north America? How about haibike? Think they've similar masters? I also think bulls have a fazua powered bike either out or on the way that is even lighter.Now that’s a really great looking bike.
It’s a shame Lapierre pulled out of the North American market, we were the biggest dealer around for Lapierre. Really miss my Spicy Team
Yeah, supposedly the bulls is around 16kgTheres no lappiere in north America? How about haibike? Think they've similar masters? I also think bulls have a fazua powered bike either out or on the way that is even lighter.
nice!Guy in the shop said it weighed in at 18.2 kg all on
these are the pedals. 350g for the pair. DMR V12 Magnesium Flat Mountain Bike Pedal. Tnice!
Was that with pedals?
Going tubeless it will depend on how heavy the stock tubes are as to how much (if any) weight you'll save
Tubeless = 120g ish of sealant per tyre + negigible weight for tape/valves (30g?).
Standard butyl innertubes range in weight from about 110g upto 300g (27.5x2.5)
Changing tyres while you are at it can save far more if the terrain you ride is suitable for lighter casing tyres.
a 27.7x2.5 a steel bead dual ply DH casing tyre can weigh 1400g, DD casing about 1100-1200g and a folding Exo should be somewhere betwen 800-900g
But only 120mm of travel. Not enough for my riding area. Maybe they will come up with a 150/160mm version.Yeah, supposedly the bulls is around 16kg
