Not to mention that Rotwild has a non-standard battery. One of the very best things about the Crestline is its oem battery swap design.

That paint job is an eye sore. Just give me a matte carbon with no logos.
While off topic with Rotwild bikes, I had a chance to check one out and it has some very impressive features. Rotwild uses an integrated dropper seatpost system. The dropper is built into the frame design and routed through it. The integrated dropper is from Eightpins, it is not inserted from the top but built into the frame. The maximum height can be set with a dial under the seat , as well as the seat post cable never need to be moved when making changes. Clever stuff...

In my relentless self abuse of googling a bike that isn't available yet, I found this (apologies if this is old news):

48.7 lbs must be with the 600w battery… still sounds light to me with a proper dh setup but I hope I’m wrong
Two questions guys for those that already have a DJI Cresty:
1) In a size large, would you choose the 450 or the 455mm CS's? Real world experience appreciated.
2) How much dropper are you guys getting in a size L and please include your height?
Thx!

I went with 445 chainstay, seemed safest bet. I came off a 1st gen bullit, 445 cs and it felt good.
I’m 5’10” running a pnw loam dropper at 170cm. It’s almost slammed and could be if I needed to. I think a 180 dropper is close to the longest dropper slammed possible.

Same weight as my bosch cresty with 600wh if I ran an airshock. Of course when I chuck my 400wh In....
Winner winner, chicken dinner.

You're on a RH2 or 3?

Argh, I was really hoping that RH3 would have allowed ~30cm of insertion depth. From what you are saying it seems to be ~28-28.5cm?
A lot of us have been looking for data around max insertion depths on the crestlines, thanks for helping!

A few people in the Crestline FB group claim there will be a run of 300, frames and completes.

Price prediction? Exactly the same as last year? Or will it go up again due to Demand/Tariffs?

Is that a new or old colorway? Other than the initial matte black release, this is definitely my fave.
EDIT: This was a one off paint job for the owner of Fanatik bikes in Bellingham WA.
Oh well...

Troydon was riding one painted up like that too, I really like it. They also did this for Worldwide Cyclery

Might explore custom paint options through a car paint shop. Clearcoated carbon would be my first choice though.

The carbon layup isn't anything pretty a la Unno but usually that's a good look.

I'm properly subscribed to Crestline's mailing list but nothing recently... is there a date yet for the pre-sales opening up?

He’s waiting for them to be #1 or #2 on the PB shootout to coincide with the drop
Wait until it stops working...
Much easier to use standard dropper that you can easily get at any bike shop and swap between bikes. The above is a solution to the problem that never existed.
You can also run standard droppers in those frames. I really like the concept.

Other than an email I doubt it'll be a loud announcement, usually isn't. If you're a buyer you gotta pay attention and check in yourself because these will definitely go fast. I'd make it a habit to check the site every time you make a visit to the crapper.
