All very very good points, and this "next greatest" thing will all drive us crazy. In reality, I would really like to consider the Canyon Spectral On, and it's tough. Going to check out the 2021 Levo that's in stock today here in the SF Bay Area, 700 wh battery, 90nm torque, in the Comp Model...
If Canyon does not release an updated bike for sale until mid next year, say June, then they will effectively be conceding a huge advantage to Specialized (700 wh) and Bosche equipped bikes (625 wh) both with clear advantages or torque and battery. June is a full 10 months away, so wow. How...
Yeah, I think I could live with the 8000 motor but the smaller battery is just too outdated.. Love the price of 5k however. I would also say, it will be interesting to see what the new Decoy in Mullet and 29er will be, and what the heck, add in the new motor too. lol
Good point, but it will kill the sales vs. Commencal and the others that will release the E9000 (whatever they call it), and the 625 wh battery. At 5k USD $ I would rather purchase another brand. The battery life does matter, and I believe the new Shimano motor will be much improved. Time...
Does anyone know or speculate if Canyon will stay with the e8000 through the end of this year? It seems kinda crazy to buy any bike with the 500wh and e8000 now given Bosch is kicking some but and giving the bigger battery! thoughts??
