Rossignol 2022

[2WHLFUN]

Just received this bike. Seems to be part of Felt bikes. Rebadged Felt? I don’t care, it works great. Modern geometry and all Shimano drivetrain, brakes and hubs.

I’ve spent some more time on this bike. Unfortunately, the front tire kicked up a sandstone shard and it broke the motor protection guard into three pieces.

Besides that the bike is extremely good. I’ve extended the fork travel to 160mm which slackens the head angle to 64.5°, the bike has 165mm cranks so I haven’t been getting any pedal strikes. Pretty happy.

I’m thinking of ordering a sheet of Kydex thermoplastic and making a newmotor guard.

Wow, this beast eats tires and brake pads. Ha ha.

The alloy 35mm bars were causing hand and wrist pain. Replaced with One Up EMtb bar and Wolf Tooth Fat Paw foam grips. Solved the problem! I just replaced the stock 125mm dropper with a 170mm and the bike feels much smaller on the tight twisty trails! I’ll probably get a Wolf Tooth lever soon.

I shattered a 2nd motor cover and covered the replacement with mastic tape. Hopefully this one lasts. My local southern Colorado trails have loads of plate sized sandstone rocks that flip up and hit the cover.

Currently running an Eddy Current front tire which is holding up well. Still looking for a more durable rear tire. The stock rear tire was a Maxxis DHF 3c EXO. It held up almost 600 miles but the Emtb rated Magic Mary replacement is ripping knobs off.

I am running Cush Core which is amazing.

This model came with a ZEB select plus. I have a Charger 2.1 damper on order because the adjustment is pretty much non existent.
