I keep seeing it being mentioned in this thread that the Gen 5 will have an 800wh battery, from all of the information that I've seen the Gen 5 will have a 750wh battery. But it's lighter because of the new high density cells.
I've seen zero mention of it being 800wh.
Bosch 800w battery accidentally leaked...

New Schwalbe radials as standard, nice. Interesting that there`s no speed sensor magnets on valve in these pictures. Looks better if it`s on brake rotor 😀

Definitely agree, I'm sure it will still carry the premium price tag even though they are doing something that just about every other manufacturer has done, or is doing.
Premium price tag comes from product and ride quality, lifetime warranty, also including bearings and wheels etc.

All these years explaining that FSR was superior to VPP, and finally SC gave up!

Although it's a FSR, SC did well, and the bike looks really nice, ane hope they maintain their (great) pivot hardware, and finish of the frames and links.

FSR, Bosch, it will be interesting seeing Specialized Levo G4

I agree. Related to this I wonder why there's so big fuss about dropper insertion depth. Is it problem only to the taller guys who want's to ride smaller bikes or everyone? I have Large Bullit and I'm 180cm and never felt problem that I cannot
Yeah I'm only 175cm, sit inbetween sizes most of the time so I've never had an issue.

That’s correct, they will have a 600wh and 800wh battery. Intense will have a new carbon eBike running Bosch and also have 600 & 800wh options.

I’m a little disappointed to see Orbea will offer only the 600wh battery option and the older 750wh battery and not the new 800wh.
So... it seems like you have the scoop on the new Wild.

Can you atleast give us a rough time frame for reveal?

santa cruz has lost there way, they got rid of the one thing that made there bike unique apart from crestline, now it just looks like say a lightcarbon bike! the shimano motor was killing there brand before, the ep801 is actually pretty sound apart from being able to service it and now they've done this, madness!

Come on! Except of the Blur, it's the only one without VPP in there fleet...
I like it! Can't distinguish all the other modells without looking to the model badge ;-)

I'm anxious to see what kind of charging port they have on Cruz. Hope it's different from the original Bosch (same shit flip flop rubber than that Pivot). I don't understand why Pivot didn't bother to do better.
