If it's only on "competition line" bikes, fine, but a 750w limit is a pointless poop in the punch bowl.
Still, if they are literally advertising, "how do we improve on this" .... They have an answer and public news is close.
The original AXS has the battery under the seat, but on some bikes the wheel could pop the battery off. Not great mid trail!
I would really like someone to make a main battery powered dropper, with a low collar profile.
Doesn't look like there are many bikes available to even test.
The 9th April was good for Amflow with bikes already made and shipped to Europe, but the reality for others was that it was more of an announcement.
There are no other changes to the dropper apart from the charging.
A discounted B1 is better value.
It's a great dropper, BUT... The collar for the battery is huge, couple that with the chunky seat connector and the seat sits quite a bit higher above the frame. Depends how much that matters to...

To be fair, it's not really needed on MTB.
@Velduro UK do the Phantom, it currently has the M1, but it's coming with M2 soon (M2S is Valduro MTB only). Resistance needs to be non-existant for
It's understandable, doesn't matter for MTB.
For gravel (or for me) it needs to be non existent...
Can anyone comment on the M2 resistance with the motor off?
Its doesn't bother me with EMTB, but a gravel avinox the resistance when off is really important.
If you got the PL because it was one of the better all mountain emtbs that has not changed. Enjoy the bike, its great. Just because another has come out (and is more expensive) doesn't take anything away from your bike.
You can choose to be annoyed , you can choose to enjoy the bike or you you...
It's 5m a year.
They made and sold more M1 motors than bikes last year. They could be ordered by supported partners.
Some people might not want a whole new 6k-9k bike when their other components on the old bike are a higher spec than any new bike. Older motors sell quickly on eBay.
