31 of august. new Shimano motor today?

[Ymersmoelf]

So i checked the different websites and still no news?

Commencal is saying 31/8....

Waiting..........

 

[damo]

Frustrating isn't it? Embargo's often have a specific release time. Could be 9am, could be midnight...

YT have released their new decoyt with the ep8 motor and the new fox 38, wierd that other brands havent released their new bikes yet.

Link says E8000?

 

[Dirtnvert]

Been spamming F5 all day, I believe there is a delay based on what @Mr Scooter said in the other Commencal thread.

Ewww that stings. Still hoping to salvage a bit of the summer. My e8000 died just as the alpine cleared of snow

Link says E8000?

probably have YT write the wrong information beacuse if you look at the picture you can see it has the new ep8.

The commencal prices combined with this bike suggests the bikes with the new motor are expensive.

If you Google "DU-EP800" you'll see a number of bikes with the new drive unit, including Santa Cruz and GT and others.

Presumably it's at the end of the 31st August .. with release on the 1st September ...

That could be time zone dependent. So look for UTC + 14 - ie, bike shops in Kiribati for updates ...

Or it could be European central time or Japan time ..

Or when Mr X sends the "OK" e-mail to everyone, but he does have a habit of oversleeping on Tuesdays.

In the meantime, to save the cost of a new keyboard .. you could install an auto refresh extension

If you google

shimano "EP800" -e8000

you see a couple more bikes as well

 

[RickBullotta]

...and (as expected) the new drive system is rated at 85nm.

Seems the motor has the same mounts as old motors. Then most bikes will probably be upgraded for 2021. Say Santa Cruz Heckler speced with EP800.

The launch is not that interesting if it's just a press release. What we need is a long term test over a few thousand miles in tough conditions and also if it makes a clunking sound if descending.
