I use the bit cheaper Tannus Armour inserts which are pretty easy to install ;-) I also love the extra protection as I also ride a lot of rocky sections and love the feel.
I hear broken heels suck !! My mate broke his & it was a long healing process because trying to compensate for the injury he eventually did his AC (knee) and to compensate for that he then put out his hip needing more operations .
I have a 2020 Stance E+2 with SpeedBox 2 fitted .
Great overall bike , great colour , looks , reliable .
Will handle most stuff you throw at it if set up right.
But I admit I also own a Specialized Kenevo which I use for more serious mountain stuff.
I have had to replace the control one unit...
