careful fred. you're gonna get roasted for not going 200mm rotor or bigger on the rear! how's this compare to the rise?
Just went for a quick spin in the street so far. It’s dead silent. Definitely feels more powerful. Pretty light at 42lbs too. The Rise with battery extender was about 46lbs, so this is definitely lighter. DW link is really nice too. New fox stuff is impressive. I’ll take it in the woods this weekend and report back. Still tweaking the suspension as well. I have an XX1 cassette and 5Dev cranks on order also.

sounds great. my main ebiker buddy (who has been on rockies for the last 3 years) have been thinking of getting a lighter ebike as well. he hasn't pulled the trigger yet, as he's loving his new altitude powerplay with ext suspension but who knows, this might be just what he's looking for.
i've got a new build coming along (just in time for tons of snow) but I'm waiting for the fork to get back from service before i can complete it to post here. gettin stoked though!
Rad build! Head tube skull might be my favorite part!
Yeah my cheesy skull badge I've had forever on over 10 different bikes. Not a fan of the Enve decals, never have been. Too busy, too loud, too matchy matchy. Probably taking those off soon.
Updated old lyrik select for a new -23 zeb ultimate. Not quite sure yet if it was an upgrade though.
I must say now that the new zeb is not a winter fork with original oils, gets really sticky and slow below ~+5 celsius. I mean REALLY SLOW. Other than that, feels good.
as far as I am concerned, you win the internet with that pic and the bike... just screams 'rad' and 'ride me', even more than my drunken horny wife.
having literally just pressed 'buy' on a a new Evil Insurgent MX, I am wondering if I made the right decision.....
I've just checked out the spec on the £9500 build pivot shuttle SL. For £9500 I think I would cry if my bike got delivered with an SLX shifter and M1900 rims
Couldn't stretch to the XT shifter and some aftermarket quality rims for £9.5k
Some of the immediate fails on e-bikes are concerning. Got two buddies with new osos and both of them have connection issues between the battery and motor which makes them turn off, or not turn on in the first place.
