Hi guys
I made some changes to the bike, I mounted a 216x63 shock absorber with a 7mm reducer internally, obtaining a stroke of 56.6x 3=169.8. I traveled 150 km doing various laps on Enduro terrain with various small, non-exaggerated jumps and had no problem of course I tried with a compressed shock absorber and there was about 2mm of free space left in the rocker arm good sensation on descents I like how the whole rear stay works this in format 29 front rear height BB 36.5 angle HT 64.5 ZEB 170 total weight 20.68 see attached photos View attachment 153535 View attachment 153536 View attachment 153537 View attachment 153538

Good weight. Interesting shock reducer mod to get 170 mm rear.

Just a note that the top tube on-off switch that comes with the 720wh batteries can fail if it gets wet. I have had mine go out twice and it took 24hrs and it dried out and then continued to work. But I am going to get a spare. I don't want to have to be without the bike for three weeks if one fails. I put clear packing tape over it now. Button still works and prevents water from getting in.

I finished building my CEF50 after I painted it with Kustom Cans Chromacoat Sunrise. I also have a Lightcarbon LCE930 and will try to give an honest evaluation of the two after I get some miles on the CEF50.

Nice overall. How's the integrated top tube screen working for trail vision heads up?. Separate pic.

Thanks! I haven't had a chance to ride it due to the rain and cold here in Austin. I'm hoping to ride it tomorrow night after work.

Looks good. Consider yourself lucky to get some rain!

Were these supposed to come with the 720wh battery option? Mine didn't come with one.

It was a choice.

Should be interesting (among many things) from the bar mount display of your LC930 compared to the top tube display of the latest CEF50 frame.

Also, happy to see the traditional side cable mounts!

In general, I'm glad to see Bafang is also willing to keep updated...the top tube display shows they're willing to "innovate" a bit more! Looks slick and modern too!

Wishlist: Maybe Bafang will do their own motor gear box or MGU

I am going to replace my Markhor Kun Lun top tube display to handlebar display. I found it very difficult to see when you are DH or fast speed. Especially having a M560 1300w motor when constant changing power.

Yeah, I rented a Pivot shuttle SL with the Fazua60 for a day. It had a top tube display and it was a little awkward especially in chunky tech sections. But I figured I just wasn't accustomed to it. My reflex was to look at the stem searching for the display first as a better field of vision.

But still the integrated top tube looks super clean in the cockpit. For me, I still think the handlebar works well, but just adds extra cockpit clutter.
