I think it's best looking emtb spesh have made. I don't really like the look of the asymmetric frame on the Levo/Kenevo, but the KSL looks fantastic. If they make a FF with a similar look, I would seriously consider getting one.
Possibly, but not everyone has an emtb for the same purpose.
Looks like a hardtail and it also has a rack so probably not getting used for laps of the pro line at the bike park.
I had a similar issue with the fridge plug in my van, it just kept coming loose and breaking the connection.
I just wrapped it in a few layers of insulation tape and it stays put now.
Those accessory/cigarette lighter sockets are often a pretty rubbish fit.
Not too different to you by the sounds of it. Pretty happy on red trails, 3ft-ish drops and a few jumps on a good day!
I think there is definitely a sweet spot between comfort and performance and would rather sacrifice a bit of downhill performance to have a bike that isn't a nightmare to ride...
You can get higher rise bars, I think you can go like 50-60mm+ with some bars
Having a little extra back sweep, a shorter reach stem or cutting down the bars a little can all also help.
I've got a bad back and run 35mm rise bars, a 35mm reach stem and my bars are cut down to about 760mm. It's...
I'd have thought that if the axle still goes in smoothly you could be OK.
Might be worth taking the shock out and seeing if it binds anywhere on it's travel.
I wonder how a carbon rear would have held up! :eek:
