I was there from Thursday to Monday and camping near the riders, chatted to a lot of them. All friendly and having fun, some not so happy about a couple of logistics with the camping but generally were having fun, ended up in the riders marque for the first after party, they were letting loose...
I think its the best event of the year and look forward to watching the builds and event.
The rider is in complete control, they build what they are riding, if they go to big and hurt themselves well that is on them.
as far as judging, well so many sports are like that and usually the winner...
I don't think the 3.5 will be any cooler than the 6.5 and there is no rib protection on the 3.5.
The weight is no issue what so ever, I thought it would but once in a riding position the weight isn't noticeable.
My 2 sons complain about theirs a bit but that is the heat not the weight. Also the...
The 5.5 is bulkier and less protective than the 6.5.
It feels heavy in your hand but once on its not even noticeable other than some extra warmth.
When on my levo I normally have a back pack with a first aid kit and water, this makes the back pack more comfortable and the only extra heat is a...
I have this and am happy with it

I also have normal elbow and knee pads. I almost never use the shoulder pads with the...
I am running a 170 f/r enduro scott ransom and a 170 / 150 f/r turbo levo
perfect combination, enduro for parks and shuttles with friends and kids, levo for solo rides from home and rides with mates on other ebikes.
I don't need to worry about my mates on light weight bikes struggling to keep...
I recently did a 58km ride and carried my charger and charged it at the pub over lunch.
They were more than happy to poke an extension cord out the window.
Next time due to there being 3 of us I would also bring a power board so we only need 1 power outlet and we can charge the 3 bikes easily...
I have both and I use the right tool for the right job.
Enduro for shuttles and when riding with my boys that only have enduros and dirt jumpers.
ebike for rides with mates with ebikes and towing my boys up where there are no shuttles
I recently went on a "dads" trip and did 48kms on first day...
The Levo name is on it's 3rd generation and second on the SL version so just length of time brings its name up more.
But they have always just been a great all-round bike that has done everything very well, not always the best at everything but over all very very good making them tick more...
no its a 1 way trail in that section. overall it a brilliant trail with lots of variation between machine flow and narrow hand. this in the dry might work but the conditions we had the 5 or so kms out of 57 were annoying.
I would say start in yack and logistically it works better if you do but...
My eldest has the meta sx analog and it is a fast capable rig, he also has the absolute and my youngest has the absolute 24 dirt jumpers. We have had no quality issues with the bikes after the initial build was completed.
meta sx was perfect out of the box.
absolute came with a chain that was a...
just hard work (busy cockpit ) and no fun or flow to the trail, up 2 gear down dropper post up dropper post up 3 gears down 2 gears up down up down up down, it was just annoying as the trail didn't have any rhythm or could make up its mind what it was wanting to do.
I was getting fatigue on my...
fantastic, the only part we didn't like was the last bit running into Yack. Other than that it was great.
Stayed at the beechworth caravan park in the treetop cabin and had lunch at the star hotel in yack where they allowed us to charge our bikes.
I would pack a power board next time doing...
