Looking to purchase/build a long travel (165mm+ rear) SL EMTB (<21kg ideally <20kg). And ideally something that doesn't break the bank like the kenevo SL
I've been looking at the Dengfu E69 frame with the bafang m820 motor but the lack of reliable info and real person reviews are concerning. Thought about the lightcarbon lce930 frame with the agazinni shock linkage but still only gets 159mm rear wheel.
The only bikes I can really find that fit my desires are
- YT decoy SN (unfortunately no ETA if ever to arrive in Australia)
- mondraker dune (again no info for Australia distribution and likely to be very expensive)
- specialised kenevo SL (way over budget)
- trek slash+ (a touch out of budget)

Are there any I'm missing or any rumours in the grapevine of something else coming to market soon?

Specialized and Giant will most likely refresh their offerings this fall... Probably worth the wait to see.

Slash+ is the easy choice for me from your list. If you throw the Relay PNW in there, the choice gets harder. Agree that waiting to see what the Fall season announcements bring is probably worthwhile.
