And from that same article "On the Meta Power SX, the size small ships with the 600Wh battery, and all other sizes get the full-power 800Wh. When speaking to Commencal, they confirmed the new 900Wh battery is the same physical size as the current 800Wh, so upgrading should be a fairly...

Are those complaints and cancellations due to the small size of the new, Chinese market, battery, or something else? From a consumer oriented perspective, that tiny battery on the most powerful motor really seems like an odd choice, unless they think the bulk of sales in China will be to...

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how is the chain pre-tension function supposed to work, conceptually? If you are coasting on a descent, wouldn't the pre-tension function just continually rotate the drivetrain? I can see how it could be helpful if one is at a dead stop and trying to get...

So I guess they took my advice to fully follow through on their Norco "inspiration"! :LOL: Hopefully that guide eliminates the chain drops that some of you have suffered. I notice that it doesn't fully encase the idler the way the Norco guide does, but it's still a lot more coverage than on the...

That's great you have an office chair at your disposal! Don't be afraid to drop the height adjustment all the way down to ease working on the calipers, and then raise it to work on the lever end. Being able to roll back and forth from one end of the bike to the other without standing up is super...

Anyone please feel free to correct me, but my understanding is that Ron Hack is a person/business in California who sold Amflow PLs, but his primary business was/is emotos. Importantly, it seemed like he may have been grey marketing them from a source in Asia, and may not have been an...

Based on the scenario you described, it is likely that the air is mostly in the upper parts of the system. If you want to quickly purge it, it should be possible to affix a fluid filled syringe to a tube on the bleed fitting at the caliper, and bleed it in reverse, pushing fluid up to the bleed...

If you don't mind my asking, what country are you in? You're the first person I've seen on here who actually has gotten delivery on a PR, so that is very exciting that they are finally trickling out into people's hands. Not sure how much you've geeked out on the bike so far, but if you have...

That is a great idea to do a baseline when new and periodic checks in the same conditions, thank you for taking the initiative, and I look forward to the follow ups! Maybe I've missed them, but have you seen any videos that confirm that these conditions (chain off, ratchet pedaling) will...

It sure would be nice, as I am somewhat partial to Santa Cruz bikes, and my LBS sells them! I seem to recall a rumor about the possibility, but Santa Cruz is generally pretty tight lipped about new models and updates, and then by the time you see an official announcement, they're already in the...

Not sure if you've already seen it, but there was some discussion on this topic in the last few pages of this thread, starting with post #679 by B Rabbit: https://www.emtbforums.com/threads/video-teewing-flux-180mm-high-pivot-avinox-emtb-first-look-and-ride.44443/page-23#post-699199 Various...

With USA and Canadian bike supplies, there is the issue of does Amflow have bikes to ship, but there is also the issue of who is distributing them once they arrive. The Canadian distributors of Amflow (DIAN Motors) broke up with the brand due to some dispute over their business terms...

Those are a couple of good points...some brands are really known for their great warranty service (Trek, Santa Cruz, Specialized), but it can also vary regionally, depending on if they have a local distributor in the region, and if the local distributor has a similar value system to the...

I don't have any experience with the bike, but just looked it up as I was unfamiliar with the brand. Just FYI, there is a typo in the suspension specs listed on the Y3 info page, and since you specifically asked about suspension, I thought you should know. It says it has a: "220mm Dual-Crown...

I knew that NZ did not have speed restrictions, but that is interesting that the bike didn't automatically come with that configuration, and you had to do a few extra steps to get it switched. What was the stock configuration that they supplied you with? Did it seem like it was a US/CA 20mph...
