Santa Cruz Ebike

The British Subjects are not known to be prolific eye-batters.

It would be unseemly.

One thing i like about it is the handlebars with the cut outs for cables very tidy. I wonder if you will be able to buy them separately and will be able to use with the likes of a bosch kiox ? Or even better might give other companies like raceface ideas ?

Been looking for an Alu 800mm Di2 bar since finding out of their existance. Zero luck yet.
Did find a 760mm Alu Di2 bar. I forget what brand now. Might have been Pro.

I like Santa Cruz a lot - just not liking the price tag. I'm sure they'll fix that.

Spoke to my first "not yet" to Eebs "disappointed" Santa Cruz owner yesterday.
Made me smile.
Ignorance can be funny

Sprockets in Kilmarnock have got one in for a customer i think and are doing a special build. So must be changing a few things on it. Might pop on and have a look after work for a peak.

@Dax That demo day is a great deal.
3hr demo for £20 all of it going to local trail builders

Folk should definitely consider having a shot of one instead of getting the hump 'cause they're:
A. too tight to buy one
B a massively ignorant £6k Santa cruz owning Ebike hating bell end

PRO Koryak Di2 Aluminium Riser Handlebar

PRO Koryak Di2 Aluminium Riser Handlebar

Yeah. that's probably the ones I found.
I actually do run 760mm bars (and like them narrower) on one of my bikes, but it's a lightweight super playful carbon 170mm enduro bike. Because of the extra weight I prefer 800s on the Eeb.
I'm sure I'd adapt to 20mm less either side but those Koryak's are kinda (scarily) light for 760mm alu bar too.

Some focus's have an alloy DI2 bar on them, but not sure what brand - pretty sure they are labelled up as Focus.

Anyone seen a Di2 bar in 35mm clamp? Heckler must be running 31.8 stem but their site does not specify. Doesn't matter, I just happen to have 35mm clamp stem.

Price is pretty steep tho

I puttered around my neighborhood last night. Getting things set and exploring the eTube app.

I’ll have a real test ride on Saturday. Video eventually.

My local trail — a half-mile ride to a 600-foot pile of lava rock that the local parks department decided to run a hiking trail through. Not a lot of smoothness. No significant drops. A good test for climbing and descending through various sizes of rock, baseball through cantaloupe.

Fun inaugural ride.

The Shimano E8000 was very responsive. Everything worked well together.
Video eventually.

Where exactly did you ride?

 

[AZRickD]

A rocky ancient volcano in northwest Phoenix called Deem Hill.

 

[luna87824]

I think I will go there tomorrow and check it out!!

Curious what you think of the bike. Test drove one this weekend, and was surprised how much I liked it. Also test drove Levo SL, Levo comp and Trek Rail. Really liked SL, but know I need more power. Rode the Levo comp in McDowell mountain park for a half day. Probably the best overall bike that checks the most boxes. Prior to testing I was sure I would order a Rail, but geometry just does not fit my profile. If Santa Cruz had larger battery it would be top pick. Most dealers don't stock this bike, and some are saying Santa Cruz doesn't have many left of the initial run.

Rob Roskopp's personal Heckler - have to say as a skateboarding kid of the 80's I think its pretty awesome

How do you think the E8000 motor compare with Brose in Levo? Power, feeling etc.

The Shimano is noisier, a bit less powerful and less options in the app. The lower max power doesn't really matter for trail riding, and I think the Shimano offers a better mix of power and control on the technical trails. Both motors are good on the trails, the choice is down to personal preference and what you're accustomed to.
