Seems to weigh just as much as my Kenevo, or rather slightly more? I thought the DJI system would save 1-2 kgs or so

Price is right though!

It seems I'd get a spec I'd be happy with for around £7.5k, similar to the Mondraker Zendit and Whyte Karve. Zendit has poor dropper insertion and slow charger, and Whyte possibly has a bit more travel than I'd prefer, so this may be the best choice. I wish the stack height was a bit higher but high rise bars are an easy fix.
 
They’re on the heavier side… I don’t think we’ll see a “light” build, even on the trail version, but the prices are decent.


This might also be a strategy to keep the Sresh SL relevant in their lineup. Propain has been doing a great job over the past few years. Delays are still way too long though
 
Tried to buy one. Their website was a shit show. The frame I picked was somehow sold out from under me while checking out. Spent 45 mins trying to check out. I'm not ecstatic about the price or a few specs but there's so little options for a 160mm or longer travel avinox bike in the states that doesn't cost over 7 grand. I truly don't believe bikes should cost as much as they do.
 
Disappointed the Enduro is 160/150.

The customization really makes this a compelling option in the standard-travel segment. It'd only be $8900 the way I'd buy an enduro.

Too bad they opted to run a 210x55 shock on the enduro bike. Would have been nice to have the option of overstroking it and squeezing a little more travel out of it.

Very interesting alu frame and geo.
Too bad they don't sell it as a frame kit too.

Just buy the cheapest build and part it out.

It's an option.
But having to pay twice the mechanics, to dismount the original parts then mount mine ... Doesn't make sense.
On the long run, i might reconsider it, but ...
