Perfection! With the slimmer downtube and 600w battery , the long stroke option, and being dh fork compatible this is screaming to be 190r/200f triple clamp. 100nm/750w should drag that around like a trail/enduro emtb

EMTB is like sex and/or pizza. Even when its mediocre is pretty damn good. For tires and gf's, its an emtb so , for the same reason,you can run dh tires and go for the phat ass. Just another advantage of eebing

Im sure we'll reach a consensus soon.....

Nice one. Im down to long stroke if possible. 185 eye to eye is a trunnion shock so even less chance

I think a lot of people, my self included, have want that to be possible many times with various bikes

I think its a 185 eye to eye shock on there. If thats the case, the longest stroke for a 185 e to e is 55 unfortunately

Stock and size options on the decoy are getting low so it cant be long now. Ive told a few friends about the current deals on the decoy mx and it didnt take them long to buy one after comparing

Exactly! Further irony that the vala is the bike they developed after pushing vpp as "the" system. With the vala, they must have the perfect engineer-designers now/Esarc

Oh sure, thats been the argument by people that cant think for themselves for ages only to have next years bikes adopt what people have done in the real world. Every year a company claims its the perfect geo. Next year its longer and slacker etc etc etc. Kind of an embarassing argument with so...

I wonder if anyone has long stroked their vala? Theres room on the shock stroke on them. Not sure if the frame has clearance though. A possible 180f/163r vala would also be almost 1⁰ slacker, before any anglesets get installed

Right on! Ah yes i could see that. Have a good season. If youre ever back home we'll have to go cut some lefts and rights

Thanks, unfortunately it happens to us all. He's inspired everyone he's met im sure. I feel fottunate to get to meet him and hang out for a few summers up at silverstar and then later camped in my yard for a couple bike visits in revy. It eas great to show him around with friends visiting from...

Oh right i seem to recall seeing that i think. Great spot and riding around tgere i hear. Do you ever see Vic on the burke trails these days? Havent seen or heard from him in a few years

Haa 11 !!! Thats awesome. Im back in Freddy for almost 3 yrs , after 25 in banff/canmore and 11 in revy. Its nice to see family and help out . I think itd be better go just visit annually. That makes much more sense financially and a ton more sense if a person wants to mtb and ski. Western ski...

Welcome to the forums. Im in NB, long time BC and AB. Friends in canmore were asking which bike to buy. Theyre long time banff/canmore residents origonally from QC. I said they may want to wait until early 2025 for all the new bosch gen 5 bikes. Bosch and tge weight of most of those is...

I'd imagine more than a few 2025 wilds will end up with a 190 fork

Why not? Cheap to swap to 180 if you didnt like 190. Kona process dh is 165r/190f with a boxxer. Nice park bike BITD susoension bikes were all pretty shit to be fair. The pivots would fzil in short order of the frame sould crack zo we ended up throwing our boxxer or jr T or super T on any...

I think that is basically a seal. Id imagine your stem or stem spacers alone, without that sealing cap, would hold the bevelled top race in the bearing. Cant hurt to try it without that top cap/seal. The headsets in the decoy arent the best quality. Mine didnt last long. I replaced my headset...

Kellys bikes. Pretty interesting bikes. They have a full powered 150mm bike with a shimano ep801 and a big battery thats around 20kg. I think that one with the panasonic is quite inexpensive and pulls hard. Some other massive electric motor company like bosch or zef made that panasonic. It may...

Sorry *8+lb difference. Looks like tge vala might be able to be long stroked to 163r travel as well. What qlwould you want tested? 85nm bosch v shimano tests have already confirmed close to 30% difference in mileage. I think that might be the ep801 pre power update as well
