Hi, congratulations for the bike I love it, I'm considering selling the Levo and buying this one, have you encountered annoying noise with the Shimano Ep8 motor?

Hello, first of all the bike rides awesome!
My previous bike was a commencal meta power race 27.5.
At 180cm I was afraid of getting a large, but it’s spot on. I guess the bike looks bigger on paper and numbers than it actually feels.
About the motor. Compared to the e8000 it feels smoother and more power on lower cadence, but its not a huge difference ( and really I don’t need more power anyway)
About the noise. Uphill it’s more quite, which is nice. And yes on the downhill you can hear a slight clunking noise from the gears. It does not bother me and it’s certainly not a dealbreaker.
I guess if you concentrate on it, it might put of some people, but are those people concentrating enough on the trail itself?
I’m focused on the lines I’m riding not the noise.
The ohlins suspension is from another world...mind blowing really, And so easy to setup according to the trails you are on. Just bring suspension pump and up or down the pressure in the ramp up chamber...so good. I also feel a really nice difference if you turn on the HSC and LSC.
To summarize: awesome bike, it’s a real looker which performs, super stable at speed but still playful, confidence inspiring
