Looking at the specs of the cx models I reckon with the same build kit the weight would be comparable to my alloy levo SL2 which is pretty mad for the battery size and motor. Anyone want to buy a SL2 frame?

Is it so light? Because Pinkbike reviewed it and it was 21 kg. I think Levo SL2 is much lighter.

My alloy levo SL 2 weights just over 20kg.

With out boring you too much, it's a fairly normal 12 speed mechanical build with exo+ tires, lyric and ex511 wheels. I don't think there would be much difference.

Per Transition’s FB post:
SX - 18.67kg
CX - 21.31kg

Both of these seem light, that’s probably a small frame with no pedals and lightweight tyres, but it’s competitive. IIRC my KSL was around 18kg stock without pedals, which has a much less punchy motor and smaller battery.

I believe they dump the Relay. To many issues with Fazua. When I was at Bellingham last summer, Transition had a two month back log on Relays that were waiting for motors. In fact alot of the demo Relays were broken too.

Yah, I hate for it to be true but I think the Fazua in the future will only be used in Porsche e-bikes and my own Relay, while still fantastic to ride, is obsolete.

What size you have. My Kenovo SL S3 weights 19,2 kg with pedals and I thought that Levo SL is lighter

S4, mine is the alloy one.

Ok, then I understand the weight different.

I read on another thread about the Bosch motors getting a power increase, I wonder if the sx will too? Would make the be regulator sx a real beast I reckon.

I'm presuming you can't run the 600wh batteries on the sx motor?

 

[sethimus]

you can, see m1 bikes

You can, if it fits in the frame is a different question.

You can run all SX bikes with the RE anyway giving 650wh for longer rides

So glad to see Transition moving to the Bosch SX motor after the debatable Fazua. I've always owned Transition bikes and almost pulled the trigger, but because of the Fazua motor, I purchased the Devinci E-Troy with the same geo: 160 front, 150 rear
