    Is this a good deal and what I’m after ? Advice Please

    I would say you could get it cheaper, they were 4800 new and pending how they paid could of got up to 15% off maybe more. The market is flooded with gen2 Levos now as the gen3 is out there. The spec isn’t very good but from your description of riding it could make a base model for you to enjoy...

    Yeti 160E is outstanding (Video)

    Yes but look over all the dealers that sell s works or similar, you can count on 1 hand how many they sell … there not popular like the lower models. I paid 6250 for my 2019 expert and now the 22 expert is 8750.. just for a fancy tcu and smaller back wheel , there has to come a point where...

    Yeti 160E is outstanding (Video)

    Stunning, but the pricing is just mental, the industry is pricing people out of the market ( people saying a 5k bike is now cheap ffs) and there putting people in debt with finance (which is how most these bikes are bought these days) which could cause major problems long term For buyers both...

    Is a 2022 Levo worth £2.5k more than a 2022 Whyte e160rs??

    Didn’t know you could get 8750 on cycle to work schemes

    Has the 2nd hand market bubble finally burst ?

    Interesting response for sure. Could be a buyers market soon, few shops say that sales are slowing with many people back to reality now after being back to work and covid etc. Following many sites and more and more webs coming up for sale, shop floors are filling up well as well. bike industry...

    Helvellyn, any one done it

    It’s pretty easy and straight forward, quite easy to start in glenridding, head up kepel cove and the zigzags, across to hellvelan and down dolly wagon then single track back to glenridding, pretty sure u could do it in less than an hour I was with my mate on a normal bike.

    Has the 2nd hand market bubble finally burst ?

    Just wondering on all’s thoughts really and it’s raining outside. been watching the market and in the last month there’s over 150 more e bikes for sale on pink bike than there was in July and some crazy pricing still but nothing shifting. I had to take a loss on my SL as there was so many for...

    Who’s kept their acoustic bike and why?

    I like have 2 bikes in case one needs fixed. Both are as capable as each other. Mega is more of an uplift machine but cOvid ruined that!

    How good are lyrik ultimate compared to fox factory 36 grip2?

    Had numerous fox 36, much prefer the lyric, some 2020 lyrics don’t have the new damper in which is such a cheap upgrade . Wrote my mates 38s other day and felt so overkill for anything apart from downhill.. its Good we have choice as I think a lot is down to personal preference. The mazzorici...

    Anyone gone from EMTB back to normal MTB & regretted it??

    Been there done that and now have an SL modded everything and it’s mint . Always want what I don’t have tho, mistake I’ve made is just having 1 bike, will pick up a normal bike once this COVID price hike as gone down.

    Winter shoes for flats?

    I’ve tried a few combos and ride all year round and a trouser works better with some five tens (impact five tens I use). After a while seal skins just let the water in, I’ve found woolie boolies by defeet do a better job.

    Levo SL or Trek Rail dilemma

    My 2 cents. Used to be fit, got injured, bought a FF levo expert last year. First few rides was a honey moon period, unfortunately I had multiple problems with mine but still did more riding in 8 month than previous 2 years on normal bike. Anyway, I found the ff I was a passenger and it was like...

    Carbon fiber wheels: Waste of money or totally worth it?

    Had my carbon reserves when I had my levo (now on mega tower). Total night and day feeling between alloy wheels. Not harsh at all, every bike I’ve had them there all feel better, quick uptake, quicker in corners, very strong and trust them more than alloy plus life time guarantee . ride them in...
