Damn that's a great life target! Pretty inspirational to be honest. Enjoy the new bike!

I don't think there is much of a market for older ebikes. Especially Shimano powered ones. I've got the same bike with similar mileage as you (alloy however), and I've toyed with the idea of selling it, but in reality it's going to end up a spare as it's not worth anything. The other thought I...

Commencal have gone from Shimano to Bosch to avinox within a couple of years. The meta with Bosch v5 was barely released and they announced an avinox version was shipping next year. I'll be waiting for the avinox version. So yes Santa Cruz could easily do the same. And I suspect they will

??? Both signature models are $16.5k. However the DJI comes with wireless shifting and the new XT brakes. There is a podium fork version of the DJI for an extra $3k which gets XO shifting.

Commencal is interesting to me. The SX 800 (Bosch) is available in NZ from November, and now the same bike with the avinox is available from next April. I doubt the Bosch will sell very well as the avinox is already available for pre order. After starting as a Shimano house, then moving...

Both, when accelerating into jumps. But jumps that require over 32kph to clear

My e160 struggles to pass the limiter and I've always put it down to running assegai front and rear. Jumped on my wife's rail 5 with its xc style tyres (xr4?) and landed soooo deep on the jumps. Could be the tyres, full 29er, or bosch setup? Either way, it's way faster than my shimano.

Both the YARI and lyric use 35mm stanchions. Only domain and zeb are bigger. Recently upgraded a yari with a FAST SC5 damper with great results. Massive improvement!

This is how much stans sealant was in my tyre when I changed it out the other day. Still sealed fine, but I presume it wouldn't have done much if something had punctured the tyre? Made me wonder why they recommend 100 to 150ml...

The tabs break off easily, and you definitely can't hang the bike over a Ute tailgate without breaking them all off. Speaking from personal experience! I'd recommend getting an amygos bash guard. Great for protecting the motor, and also holds the battery cover on securely.

Here in NZ I just get them from 99 bikes. They seem to be readily available.

Have you checked to see if they are the same size diameter post? I think the kenevo is 34.9. And stumpjumper are normally 30.9.

203 on mine. 2021 model

How about a riser handlebar? 40-50mm would give you what you're after?

When looking at a mates e160 700 I noticed his doesn't have this spacer between the fork and frame. His is the same model as mine but slightly newer. Oh and his is medium whereas mine is small. Perhaps it's there to adjust the geometry for the small frame? any ideas?
