Mine is the New PX which is stronger than the old PX and set up in its slackest head angle and longest chain stay is awesome descending

put a lyric and a carbon wheel on your druid front end and it will be lighter

I hate to break the news to you, but the new PX pro doesn't have taller stacks than the DruidE.
It's not very hard to pull up the Geo of both bikes and see that for yourself.
The Druid also has long rear center than the PX pro depending on which sizes you're comparing. All PX Pro's have a 438/451mm, the S3 Druid has a 456mm and the S4 has 471mm.
Still won't change my mind about AmFlows, and I sell both Forbidden and AmFlow. After they denied the warranty claim of my friends buddy I stopped recommended AmFlow's to friends and unless a customer is really set on getting one I steering to something like a Forbidden. Of course if the customer is using it for general trail riding I'll happily sell them an AmFlow. But not to customers looking to do more aggressive trail riding.

Getting close to the 0.5% wear indicator for my XO t-type chain. I ride turbo most of the time and mash the harder gears. chain currently has 660 miles and expecting to replace it soon. I use the abbey chain wear tool to check for wear.

Erm, no it doesn't
Maybe the Amflow just suits you better. The Druid needs ridden hard to shine tbf
Put them together and the Amflows bars are higher than the DruidErm, no it doesn't

Theres too many variables to just go, oh the bars are higher. Bar rise, spacers, bar roll, fork length
The Druid has a higher stack, that's a fact if you bother to look at any geo charts.
No need to be rude, I'm obviously not as savvy as you on geo and how it works

I think these lads are meaning to say that if you like the high front bar position on the PX, an equivalent cockpit should be easily achievable on the Druid if you so desire. could be worth trying spacers under the stem and a higher rise handlebar
then again, if you're sharing bikes between people and happy with the PX, then perhaps it's not worth it

I installed a Telum coil shock on my Amflow PL Carbon Pro. Works awesome. Never had an issue with the frame. I got it last July. I ride pretty fast on some chunky trails and do some drops and jumps. Not big stuff though.
The PX has a much stronger rear and
The new PX is stronger than the PL and more gravity based
Mine came with all the spacers under the stem,

Although weirdly the PL supports using a coil, but a coil on PX is not supported.

It's been a while but the last time i touched the dropper post i had to remove the motor... I think it was because the dropper post cable has a foam sleeve wrapped around it causing it to get snagged. So the only way to service the dropper post is to remove the motor?
The shock tune is awesome on the PX Pro no need for a coil
go ahead and drop the lowers and pull the airshaft. Clean and regrease lightly - similar to Fox, RS at times can be very generous with assembly lude and the +/- bypass port can easily get clogged. Also pull the air bleed/pressure relief caps off and cycle the fork a few times in case their is any built up pressure due to elevation change
OK - now that we have all been getting some decent saddle time on our CorE/LitE's' - what kind of custom power settings have we been playing with? Personally I have bumped up Eco a little and dialed the Auto down a tad. Still trying to balance out the feel while maximizing Range in more mountainous terrain. Can try to get some screenshots later when I am in front of the bike.
Post up what you have found to work best!

Probs sound a bit mad to most avinox guys but i run mine in auto 450wh 50nm like to get bit workout and save battery. If im out on my own or quick after work blast just the standard trail.
I tried the new px last week.
It was certainly an improvement over the old amflow/stumpy knock off, but was still nothing to write home about. Particularly in fast corners, the e-druid or dread-e left it for dead there. Still a great bike though, they're moving in the right direction.

I'm the opposite, every 38 I've had had been a pain to get setup with a small window that the adjustments actually work well in. Even on a stripped down and rebuilt one with a luftkappe it just never felt anywhere near as good ad my Zebs do now, which took way less time to get dialled

Assist level is what really drains your battery so get that dialled down.
I'd need to check my by Eco is set pretty low as is auto, Think turbo is set to 700/70nm as my most powerful mode but still had the assist level dialled back to 9 or 10 IIRC

Now that several people in this forum have had their avinox powered druids (m1 or m2s) for some time, I'd love to hear takeaways and comparisons to other bikes. Particularly, what are some things you like or don't like about the bike and if there were any surprising issues such as components wearing faster than expected (compared to other ebikes).
In general, how do you feel about your purchase, are you happy or do you have any regrets?

Does anyone have the bearing sizes for the FSA orbit headset? The forbidden site used to have a tech spec page with all the details but it’s disappeared since the newer models got released. Thanks

If you click on the headset type on the spec sheet, it opens a drop down with specifics.

Looking for some advice/help.
Have a core with zeb 3.1 and vivid ultimate coil. I’m debating on selling it because it feels somewhat sluggish/heavy relative to the travel. Could this just be my settings? I’m 220 with a 600 pound coil. Sag seems to be spot on at 30%.
Been demo’ing other bikes like the Yeti mte and LTE and both feel much more responsive and less boat like. Definitely more of what I’m after.
With that said, many comments/owners say how lively/poppy the Druid core is and I’m not sure where I’m going wrong.
Thoughts? Thanks

Not sure on others opinion but druid does feel a bigger bike than it is, rides way more like an enduro bike than a trail bike. With your comparisons my friend just sold me his whyte elyte and the difference in handling between that and the druid is huge. The druid is great on the right terrain but i also find it a bit sluggish unless the terrain is on the more DH focus side.

Nice one thanks mate!
Did you have the vivid tuned, or are you using the standard, out of the box tune ?
And 600 sounds light for 220, no ?
I would be looking at setup. The Mte is a bit more frisky, but I wouldn't say the lte is really.
I’ve not ridden an e Druid on coil though.
