I have done 3400Ks on a Merida E160 10K. Has the ep8. Been 100 percent reliable. I have had two Shimano relate problems that were either operator error--broken battery release, or 2 a broken control cable due to factory assembly of the internal routing of cable through the stem. The biggest EP8...

you will need lower link hardware unless new shock is exactly same size. no hardware at the trunnion mount. Consider an EXT - they ship with two springs as standard where as most other brands have springs as an extra. I am trying myself to relate my air pressure to a coil spring rate.

It was done by Shimano rep. Its a legal feature for bikes shipped through Europe apparently

3000k on standard ep 8. No issue. Pinched cable on the Merida E160 Ten K but that not an EP issue.

They can be fiddly. But squeal is generally just miss alignment.. If I develop a howl or squeal it almost always goes with resetting the callipers.. also the Performance pads are quieter than Race

100 percent Magura MT7. But make sure you use the MRD-P rotors. I personally prefer the performance pad over the race. It might not last as long but I prefer the brake feel... but I dont see a lot of wet rides...mainly dust issues rather than moisture and grit

Magura MRDP 203 6 bolt. Mated to a DT swiss CL to 6 bolt adapter. MRDP rotors have a magnet option and from April will be available as CL !

Hi. Just an update. Note posted in a while. Done 3000ks....heres what I have found. Merida E160 10k has pretty descent spec.... but I changed the XTR brakes to Magura MT7s. The Grips were changed to Bergtec Minnaars, the saddle went in the bin...pity about the tool.... I added a one up tool in...

I had this exact thing. Cable damage in the stem...replaced cable loom under warranty

possibly - But the ep is as light or even lighter than the spesh sl motor on the SL is it not? I think my partner needs an Orbea Rise....

Nice! I found I needed to slam stem as low as it would go. Enjoy!

Im finding with EP8 I am really reducing the torque. Its p[retty unnecessarily powerful especially in trail. Its currently 63Nm and Ill prob drop to 50

any bike landed yet? Im 400 ks into mine. Loving it

I suspect its a bit better with a tweaked trail. The Bosch probably doesn't last super long either when its under 20 percent in EMTB mode. Maybe Shimano are being a little cautious as to how low they are prepared to let things run, perhaps having a light attached alters the safety margins too?

haha indeed. Main point of my post was to advise folk to dial back trail mode. Its deceptive in default setting. I think I will be able to almost double range in a low eco low trail configuration. Trail and track here are steep, no real forgiving climbs.

Hi 95KG and 1000-1200m with the full power trail mode. 2000m in the lowest trail mode. Someone has said 10% more range for each 10kg lighter. An estimate rather than any empirical test

I have just posed some ep8 thoughts in main forum after 300 ks

For those that are waiting or deciding here are a few observations after 300ks on my Merida E160 10K Proiles are very cool.... but in the most powerful setup with everything turned up there isn't a jump in perceived power to Boot from Trail. The new Trail mode is more like the Bosch EMTB...

NX pretty much cheese. XT always solid performer

I have been looking to see if I can get lezyne to connect to shimano steps...not clear if its possible
