I could predict a meteorite strike better than that.

And then it's not even set; it could be next week or more delay coming april... Why do they even bother saying that?!

I know just leaves it open to more delays without a commitment

Managed to get the 160 race last week. I wanted to go for the action team but the wait was absurd and I've been biting at the bit for weeks. My LBS sold the 2022 model for 3999 euro, with an upgrade to the Kiox display for 4200 euro. Honestly, I'm incredibly happy after tuning the suspension and switching over to tubeless. Okay, no fancy Kashima forks but its a lot of bike for the price. She rides like a beast.
Besides, now I have the excuse to upgrade in a year to a whyte and the 160 will be for my wife/ kids/ guests that come to ride!

Indeed, hard to beat...
Waiting for the 140 SL, i keep looking around but for the same price you get much less (or spend quite a bit more for the same specs).
Enjoy it!

Well, after just getting back from a 46 km ride with 1800 m of climb I was on 27% battery. I can see why having a 750 instead of my 630 could be an advantage for long days. Mind you, I'm toasted and wasn't up for more trails after that.. I'm thinking of just buying a 6 amp fast charger for super long rides with a brake for a beer and charge along the way. It's a lot lighter and cheaper than an extra battery.

Reporting in as another person waiting for a 2022 stereo hybrid 160. Ordered last year. Seeing a few 140's appear now but I'm holding strong. You should too!
What assist level were you using?
It's pretty close to my 'long' acoustic ride, so i can get a rough idea how it will work once I finally get mine.
Any other comments or impressions?

EMTB mode is amazing. Once you get used to the sensitivity and learn to choose appropriate gears and cadence, it allows for a spectacular ride. I only put it into eco on a long descent when my battery was getting low. Eco is very sluggish for me unless going down, Tour mode is very linear. Like many others have said, throw it in emtb mode and just ride.

Don't think anyone has a 160 yet.
I've certainly not seen any info yet.
