Any news on when this is out and changes?
Sorry if there's already a thread on this. Not been on for a good while.

It will be slightly heavier, just as the 21 was to the 20.
Depends on the model. The 2020 expert came with lighter suspension and carbon wheels. The 21 came with better but heavier suspension without carbon wheels. I guess the 22 will have even better suspension with a penalty weight.What's it weigh now?
37.
I just made that up.

My 20 SL size Large was 18.2kg
i got it down the about 17.3kg at one point. Now I have put heavier suspension on its back to being 18kg
This forum exists on the idea that equipment is the greatest value in ebiking. Equipment is maybe 10% of the equation. Your KSL is the best bike on this forum; don’t think I’ve seen many on this forum who have the fitness to compete on climbs so downhill is everything here other than the lazy scale of motor power and battery which is totally a metric of value for the over 50 who are not fitness buffs or physically damaged people or just non athletic people contently living sedentary lives. Even 80 year old people are out running marathons so even age is not so great an excuse but with age comes family and business where time has a quantifiable monetary value and is a limited.
Fortunately the standing personality’s here are mostly awesome and this is a place where I like to have a beer so to say.
What is needed tho and not here is open discussion of how to better ones skills for those who want to, which consequently is everyone who purchases better equipment for their bikes.
A couple lbs really doesn’t matter man. That’s like a water bottle, you might be able to feel it but with skill it literally means nothing.
I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about
Nothing new here.
main point for ksl and most people including me is high end parts and bikes mean shit. Skill is the main thing riders should focus on, if they want to get better anyway. For Snapchat followers then maybe just get a bling bling
You can buy what you want for sure but it ain't going to make you a more competent rider.You are clearly are speaking for yourself. Let me help you. A rider should focus on whatever makes sense for them and purchase whatever they want. Ease off the cough medicine.

Free world man (it’s totally not free)
It’s good advice for all. Unless you post some epic vid crushing big shit most all of us would be better looking up the best bike training and burning money on that. It’s just advice, you won’t get any cred roiling up to a bike park on the sweetest ride and not at least cleaning most of the Jump lines. But you do you boo just trying to help.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious.
More powerful motor will mean a heavier batteryThe next SL will surely have a more powerful motor, now that Orbea Rise has shown it can be done with SL level weight
More powerful motor will mean a heavier battery
how Much bigger is the Rise battery?Check out how this was done in the Rise. Firmware reduction in the motor power and thus a smaller battery with still great range.
Sounds like you don’t want your bubble burst. But I agree, buy what makes you happy (as part of the “dentist brigade”).You are clearly are speaking for yourself. Let me help you. A rider should focus on whatever makes sense for them and purchase whatever they want. Ease off the cough medicine.

Rise motor 60 N*M; rpm 75-90 (let's use 80); equals about 500 W. If the motor is 90% efficient (generous) the battery has to provide 555 W. The 360 W*H battery will be drained in about 40 minutes yet Orbea claims 2 hours at that level. Someone is breaking the laws of physics, my guess is it's their marketing department.
Yeah, getting real close to 40 lbs...Still better than the K-SL however.
