Hi all

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place

I'm looking to purchase a full suspension e bike soon as I thought I'd narrowed it down to this bike, I like the idea of the lighter weight not full fat bikes.

But then I started doubting myself if I should be getting the LT H20 which seems to have a bit better spec

As a basic rough idea I like to ride the trails (blues and reds) nothing extreme.

And it'll also do it's duty as dad duty machine.

Am I overthinking it, it seems like the SL will do it all or is there cost cutting on drivetrain/ brakes etc?

Excuse me I'm a bit of a newbie and not that experienced with the various options

A quick research with Gemini suggested swapping out the deore shifter for XT M8100 shifter

I was only thinking to buy the display as think that'd be really handy then ride it to something wears out (I'll service it but just as and example when something wears out upgrade it)

Sorry for the long post

Cheers Matt
