Just had a demo on the new SL, had the previous SL before . Have to say wasn’t blown away with it. The motor is much quiter tho and only under hard graft it makes similar noise to my FF . The battery would give me anxiety if I didn’t have a range extender but then that just adds to the weight...

Been 6 months or so since I last posted! The reason is this bike is just effing amazing. So far no major problems apart from battery door x2 and fox x2 shat it’s self but fox upgraded me as they had no spares. I’ve owned a lot of bikes over the last few years and few eebs now and I funnaly find...

Mine snapped of while I was trying to undo the cross threaded battery bolt. Really don’t know how it snapped off but was waiting for it as it’s a flimsy design and have to wonder how that past QC.

Mine is as well, could hear my SL from other end of the forest but this thing is silent .

🤬🤬🤬 battery door snapped of when I wasnt even riding the bike, on close inspection no way should that have made it passed QC. Anyway, gaffa tape for now and has there been any updates about a new version yet? I know someone mentioned there looking in to it ?

I’m thinking of selling my garmin 530 and Apple Watch to go for the garmin fenix.

I only live 20 mins away from hammers and can confirm it’s a white out at the moment, don’t think it will last but who knows with Mother Nature.

If your on the fence about a gen3, yes the pricing is crazy expensive but my god you won’t stop smiling, it’s an absolute monster. I have noW beat times set on my “light weight” megatower/SL on nearly all the DH runs and off piste at my local, it’s really hard to explain how they have managed to...

I’ve owned both and now gone back to a FF, a lot depends on where you ride I’d say. my orginal levo felt a bit numb and heavy, hard work on steep tracks up at the golfie and places I ride. I then had an SL for a year, they come very poorly specked so after I endurod it out it was quite heavy but...

Trying to get hold of dhr 2.4 in dh casing is near impossible, going to run trusted dhr 2.5 up front.

these fsa headsets are poor I think, had them in a few bikes and all caused me trouble, just stripped my stumpy down and what a mess they are and we’re only cleaned few weeks ago. regarding your knocking, mate in shop was telling me lost count how many Zebs and fox 36/38 forks they’ve sent of...

Can’t get in uk yet, just ordered from Germany so should be here next week.

Picked the beast up today, swapped some bits over, hope v4s, sram axs for now. Debating putting my carbon reserves on but need a different rear rim. Quick blasts while setting it up and it’s feels so nice, pretty same geo as my stumpy evo. after a while plan to go 170mm up front and swap out the...

What mudguards people using on the fox38? anyone tried the new fox xl ? have a RRp bolt on but clearance is poor, don’t want to Cable tie anything if I don’t need to.

Ive had mine invis framed, don’t think I’d ride a bike without added protection, what comes on any bike isn’t enough.
