Any recommendations for a quiet bike with a great USA warranty for under $6000?
- Main route: 17 miles (27km), 1500ft (450m), mud, gravel and rain.
- I suspect the long rainy season will exercise any warranty
- Tried and liked: Old Specialized Levo (~2018)
- Tried and didn’t like the rattling sound: Bosch Performance CX (Trek Rail 5)
- Heard and didn’t like rattling sound: Shimano E8 (model?)
- Not interested (because skill/warranty): DIY, non-US brands
- Unknown: New Specialized Levo (cheap model ETA August?)
- Unknown (too expensive but will explore if I can't find anything under $6k): New Levo SL
- Unknown: Giant e+ (out of stock locally, ETA week 39)
