Pushing myself physically and mentally up at the Golfie riding with some of the fastest riders in Scotland - spolier you only see them for the first few corners or each trail :ROFLMAO:

This is a great overview of what Reece and Aon are doing with their Gamux bikes including the Reversed Stem but you will need subtitles if you don't speak French...

Looks smart @Rob Rides EMTB and should get some more eyeballs into the threads 👀

I see the thread title has changed but there's no new information posted - when do we hear about the TQ 120nm Dual battery?

The Kenevo SL which this thread is about is very different to the full fat Kenevo you rode and which myself and many others have stuck with for many years 👍

Also don't forget you can turn your handlebars and wheel 180% so they are facing the seat and lose some length of your wheelbase (y) Also FWIW I have one of the following which has been great and easily handles by S4 Kenevo but they might do extensions for that too if it doesn't quite fit...

Tested the new 2026 Magic Mary Radial up at Golfie the other weekend and long story short - super impressed

Amazingly thorough and great test as ever but yes you should definitely to do an updated test again as the new Pro version in Ultra Soft as like you said they updated the compound for 2026. I'd never ridden a radial before the current new version but have done a video of my initial thoughts from...

Sounds like an amazing development but the downtube on bikes with this needs to be thinner like the Avinox bikes than that demo bike to maximise uptake. Looking forward to seeing the dimensions and form factor of their batteries. Interesting times for sure. I'm also very pleased I haven't...

Shimano 11 speed linkglide costs me at least 1/3 of the price to run on my Kenevo compared to any of the SRAM T type transmissions which are usually spec'd on the Avinonox bikes and works great. The Orbea Wild is one of the first Avinox bikes I've seen that has the Shimano wired groupset instead...

Interesting to know the carbon Wild is same weight as the Unno Mith but think it's importantl to remember the cheaper aluminium frame versions will be at least 1.5kg heavier so over 25kg it seems

Any weights of the cheaper aluminium versions?

Sorry I meant the old pre 2023 model year X2 or whatever it was. I bought my X2 second hand and was great but if yours had an Ohlins on I'd keep that and get it serviced

I put a Fox Float X2 on my old Kenevo and it was good as it was before they started having loads of problems.

Messing around with HSC at local woods this week...
