Damn colors, I get taste is something personal but this is awful to me.

Grey or Green, I really find that bold!
 
And charging port is Bosch basic flip (shit) flop...Trek has much better...I don't like colours either but looks good anyway and bet it's lighter than Trek (which looks damn good...)
 
I see the shock is 205x60. I’d really like to know if you can over stoke to 62.5mm or 65mm!
 
Not sur either there is the option for the bigger battery 800? From the video it was 600.

Then no offense, bike might be cool, but without the classis rear suspension, it just becomes a `classic` design.

I wish the color choice was not the reason to told people hey this is a santa

NB: Gimme a black or dark theme

Those who have reviewed it don't seem overly impressed by it. Seems like a standard run of the mill bike, Garren was defending the design pretty hard in The Loam Wolf's video.

I kinda see the logic, vpp pedalling performance is less critical on an e-bike, but it seems like SC is pandering to the internet whingers who get really angry about seat post insertion despite having never touched the bike. Without the classic SC look, it looks like every other bike.

Remind me why I wouldn’t save 30% and buy an intense?
 
I see, except after purchase support, no reason to buy this compared to tons of other out there.

There is no legit, to me, reason for this price right now.
 
Good Times to buy a real Santa Cruz: Heckler and Bullit have MASSIVE drops now - about 50%. Don´t really need it but just ordered an 2024 Bullit RSV coil with a hugh price drop (near 50%).

Besides the odd noises the EP8(01) suits me better than any Bosch will ever do - even though i life right in front of their development center for those motors.

There's no noise at all from motor on my EP801 Bullit :) It's as quiet as my Gen2 Levo motor was, on downhill also. Or at least I don't hear any difference.
 
Anyone know what a vala weighs yet?
 
12k, nearly 22kg, 600wh, low travel.

Not sure there is a huge market for that one.

Not sure if it technically replaces the Heckler SL, but no idea why you would buy that over the Vala aside from aesthetics. Couple pounds more, same travel, same price, full power, range extender that is actually available to buy. Edit: more battery too
 
A bit extra stroke possible on the shock, if swingarm/tire clearance is there. 163r/180f vala anyone?
Still beyond my paygrade. Hopefully yt follows suit with a switch to bosch and a similar diet

But would you buy a previous gen4 as the gen5 is out?

People can argue this is worth or not but no rattle is not something I would say nothing.

As for other brands, I would instabuy a Commencal power sx with this new gen, this was really what stopped me - and the fact that the frame is a bit old now.
