Lots of brands are still running Shimano, and lots are running multiple motor manufactures. Off the top of my head I can think of the following using Shimano.
Pivot
Devinci
Commencal
Canyon
YT
Orbea
Cannondale
Kona
Transition
Santa Cruz
Marin
Propain
Yeti
Mondraker
Scor
How much less were you expecting it to weigh? At the end of the day it still uses the same motor and battery and that makes up the bulk of the weight.
I’ve have held my Voima frame with no motor or battery in it, and honestly it doesn’t feel that heavy. Didn’t really feel like it weighed...
Norco is making the switch to Bosch. Which only makes sense, as they own Livetoplay who is the Canadian distributor for Bosch.
I'm just happy to not see any headset cable routing in that picture......lol
You're running a Cascade link along with the offset bushing and a longer shock?
How much rear travel does that give? I know the link bumps it up to 150mm and just running the offset bushing with the longer shock would give the Rise a 160mm?
So what's the travel with both of those?
I literally just installed the same shock on my Voima today. Along with some Renthal bars that I wanted to try out.
Which size rear VisionVelo fender are you using?
I'm run a DHX2 and EXT eStoria in my 2022 Orbea Wild, I also know that a Rockshox Super deluxe coil fit and both the Fox X2 and Float X fit.
I had a Cascade Components link on my old Wild, take a look at that as a nice upgrade. Bumped the travel up to 165mm and was more progressive and gave the...
I think I can safely get my K1 Voima down to 23-23.5kg with some part swaps. That includes some new carbon wheels I'm building up using DT Swiss 240 hubs with Berd spokes. Going to switch from DH casings to double down. and a few other things like that. And that weight is with using the 750wh...
You've missed the point of my post, your original statement was that a Voima is only for tall people. I'm 5'8" with a short inseam. I have zero issues riding a K1 frame size. Your post was inaccurate, then you post about a MITH saying that long travel ebikes with low standover exist. And again...
The MITH has what I would consider a long seat tube length which is something else to consider if you're that worried about stand over height. It's 40mm long than a similar frame size Voima for example. The smallest S1 frame has a 440mm seat tube. Their S2 has 460mm and the S3 jumps up to a...
So do you have to arch your back when you're standing to get your ass to get under the front of your saddle to be able to realistically meet these supposed standover heights that your showing?.....lol
Why don't they show that standover height at the middle point of the reach which is usually...
750wh battery weighs 9.48lbs, the 625wh battery weighs 7.7lbs and the 500wh battery weighs 6.4lbs.
So 3lbs between the 750wh and 500wh, that would be pretty noticeable IMO.
