203 Shimano icetech rotors front and rear. Shimano SLX 4 piston brakes front and rear. Much better on the big descents now. The stock brakes were okay for the cross country type riding.
Great build on that M10. Went with H15 due to the 36 fork and larger battery. Changed the saddle, went to 4 piston SLXs, 203 rotors front and rear. Others in my ride group have M10s and they have the range extenders for the rides we do.
Yup. Same happened to me. The XT failed spectacularly. Ripped the cage off, bent some links and wrapped around the seat stay. 2 mile walk to a road, made it a single speed for the 5 mile road ride to the car. Have an SLX coming and hope it's better.
Jenson USA weighed it at 44.5 pounds before delivered to me. Then I added peddles, went tubeless, replaced the Rekon with an Assagai and replaced that awful Fizik saddle with a WTB Silverado.
Range has been great. Recent ride was 3,400 feet of climbing (two separate climbs) at 17.5 miles and...
I have an H15 and for me the stock brakes are not adequate for long descents. I've put 203 rotors front and rear which helped. Next upgrade is to 4 piston brakes. Probably 4 piston Shimano SLXs (minimum) which have been good on my Stumpjumper. Main reason for this bike is for those longer...
For my H15, Jenson listed 6120 brakes (4 piston Deore) and came with 6100 (2 piston). Noticed they changed the brake specs right after I asked about that. The 6100s and the 180 rotors are inadequate for the extended descents I ride. Already put a 203 rotor on front and that helped. There was...
Have 2 weeks of ride time on my H15. Handles great and impressed overall. Boost mode is usually too much. Eco and Trail most of the time. Peddles like a heavy enduro bike with "E" off. Brakes will be upgraded to 4 pistons and larger rotors because the shortcomings of the stock brake set up...
Congrats. My H15 arrived last night from Jenson. Same color and looks much better in person. I unboxed it last night and will start the set up today.
Any thoughts on downtube protection?
I have an H15 on order from Jenson USA and they show it spec'ed with Shimano MT6120 hydraulic disc brakes which are Deore 4 piston. Different than the Orbea spec. A 3/8/2022 ship date.
Oh wow. I have an H15 on order at Jenson and my estimated ship date just slide to 3/8/2022. Placed order right when they came out for $6,299, which is what my order details still shows. But they are now $6,799. That's an 8% increase. That price increase and ship date slide happened today...
Great info everyone. Have an H15 on order and should arrive in about a month. Main reason was for the Fox 36 fork for the descents I ride. The larger H series battery is a plus because those long climbs are rough on my joints as I get older.
