    Crestline x DJI - RS 181 SPECTRE Edition

    49.5lbs with pedals, 48.7lbs without pedals. Size medium. MM Gravity out back, MM Trail up front. XTR brakes and Freeza 203mm rotors. IBIS CARBON 35mm wheelset, Oneup bars, oneup 180mm dropper, 180g lightweight saddle. Of course the fork is pretty light at 2000g but it’s 37mm stanchion and...

    Crestline x DJI - RS 181 SPECTRE Edition

    My stock Mezzer Pro with steerer tube cut was 1998g. Perhaps the Mezzer expert is heavier?

    Crestline x DJI - RS 181 SPECTRE Edition

    The front end of my Crestline is 30.6lbs. My Trek Rail with Bosch 800wh is 38lbs despite the stubby short battery. The 7-1/2lb weight makes a huge difference.

    Crestline x DJI - RS 181 SPECTRE Edition

    I tossed on a Mezzer which shaved 300g or so from a 38mm Zeb/Fox. The front of the bike feels extremely light and lively now. Unfortunately, The Mezzer is not going to win any beauty contests but it feels the most coil like of any Air sprung fork I’ve tried. No more arm pump and the bike is...

    Crestline x DJI - RS 181 SPECTRE Edition

    I notice chain protection most in Turbo mode. Felt like it just switch to eco for a half second. It’s interesting you’ve snapped chain while in a hard gear. Usually that doesn’t happen unless you’ve compromised you chain by smacking your chainring into something (thus the importance of a...

    Crestline x DJI - RS 181 SPECTRE Edition

    Went for a quick ride on a flow trail with some chunk and the pre engagement set to On didn’t affect compressions like I mentioned earlier. It must have been a sensitivity setting that caused the motor to jerk me forward on a drop. Preengagement reduced the occasional E13 clunk. Didn’t...

    Crestline x DJI - RS 181 SPECTRE Edition

    This bike has pedal kickback. When the rear wheel compresses, the pedals rotate say 15 degrees backwards however I like my feet leveled which engages the motor in this setting. Not fun having the motor kick in and propelling you forward during a drop. Mabe I need to try this again to confirm...

    Crestline x DJI - RS 181 SPECTRE Edition

    I don’t like this setting at all. I was riding a trail I’m not that familiar with that had a few small smaller drops (3 or 4 foot drops) so I was hitting them at a slower speed so I can see some of the landing before committing. When I lift the front wheel a little for the drop (so front...

    My e13 makes occasional clunk/engagement sounds. So turn this pre engagement feature on or off?

    Crestline x DJI - RS 181 SPECTRE Edition

    Some of the damage was from loose rocks/shale flicking upwards and removing chunks of material off the BB. The loose shale I ride over sounds like I’m riding over broken glass at times. I’ve never smashed into anything hard. Just climbing up and over steep rocks at very slow crawling speeds...

    Crestline x DJI - RS 181 SPECTRE Edition

    I grabbed a pair of needle nose pliers and was able to break off a bunch of little pieces (kinda like when Thanos snaps his fingers). Too much glass fibers in the material. Need to use 100% Nylon, ABS or PP instead of 30-40% glass filled material. Using the right material, the plastic...

    Crestline x DJI - RS 181 SPECTRE Edition

    I wish the BB cover was made of a tougher material. It’s super brittle and cracks very easily. I’ve hit lots of stuff with my other bikes and the plastic deforms or shears, it doesn’t chip. It appears to be glass filled nylon. 10% is the most I would go but this looks like it’s 30-40% glass...

    Crestline x DJI - RS 181 SPECTRE Edition

    32 degrees on gear 34/51 On 34/10 it’s way lower like 10-14 On a 36/10, around 8-12 based on data from a Santa Cruz Bullit

    Crestline x DJI - RS 181 SPECTRE Edition

    My motor is a later revision motor and has no rattle. I’ve included a YouTube short showing two Crestlines (1 with rattle and one without). DJI really messed this up by mixing new and old inventory. I have a sidekick hub (18deg of float) and the suspension feels superb. BTW, my BB is chewed...

    Crestline x DJI - RS 181 SPECTRE Edition

    if you want to lower the BB in the 161mm mode, install a 2mm offset bushing on the lower eyelet (I have not confirmed if this is feasible yet with the shocks roller bushing assembly). The 2mm offset essentially lowers the rear end (or sags the bike) by about 5.6mm over stock BB height. Using a...

    Perhaps software release is regional? I didn’t get my Bosch 100Nm update until 7-8 days after launch and checked every day.

    Been checking for updates regularly. 28mph for me is a bigger deal than slight/occasional motor rattle.

    I made a short showing how to quickly check which motor you have. Also the benefits of a E13 Sidekick hub. https://youtube.com/shorts/-CEr9byAV7c?si=K1MEW4ENOO8e2r1j

    Crestline x DJI - RS 181 SPECTRE Edition

    Went for my first ride today. Motor is silent when descending in both smooth flow and super chunky terrain. Also, my motor will not allow me to select 28mph (no matter what) despite a USA bike. Spoke to James and his motor rattles but oddly he is easily able to select 28mph. There must be...
