well after whinging about my battery life yesterday I got home early from work today and did a completely different ride. I only had an hour and a half before sunset so I just went for a blast.
I hot some trails i used to ride on the enduro bike, there were some climbs there over bedrock sheet and loose rock that can give you issues on an MX bike. Some of the technical climbs are impossible on a normal bike but today I got up them all. There were also loads of technical descents as well and I had a couple of panic moments where I missed the dropper lever and had to take my eye off the trail to hit it but I should get usde to that.. I spent most of my time in trail or turbo intending to use all the battery but 2 hours later and having taken in some great trails that I havent done since I sold my MX bike I got back in the dark and had 20% left.
but yesterdays battery disappointment is forgotten because of the fun I had on it today, it was honestly one of the best rides ive ever had.
climbing, descending, cornering were all unbelievable. The stability of the bike is superb and im only just scratching the surface..
incredible machine
EDIT: the only problem im having is the chain jumping on the rear cassette, it only seems to do it in certain gears and randomly. I can be in a gear for ages and suddenly it jumps, everytime it happens I wince expecting the chain to break
