All

Thank you all for the interest in our bikes and in our distribution / sales model. To give you a bit of context, we’re currently a team of 9 people at RAAW, based in Germany, and we ship worldwide directly from here. The US has actually grown into our biggest market after Germany, which is pretty wild considering that every RAAW in the US has been shipped individually from Germany. Our goal is, of course, to make the ordering process and ownership experience as easy as possible. Having stock in the US would be ideal, but that comes with a...

possibly the worst commentating performance in live tv lol. Dead fish have more personality.

I bought an EXe when they first came out and bought a second battery at the same time. Back then, you could purchase a second battery for a couple hundred dollars more than the range extender. They weren't really anticipating people doing this. You had to separately buy all the brackets to attach to the battery to attach it to the frame. I think the pricing spread has moved substantially. If you ride places where it's common to cruise back by the trailhead during the ride, this setup is amazing. I also picked up a power station on black Friday...

I made my last post when I was generally frustrated with life. Sorry about that. Most of you are probably still not going to agree with me, but I'll try again and then shut up. I think it's really, really important our community talks about whatever these two-wheeled machines with 800% assist and enormous torque/power actually are, and I don't want to stifle that occurring in this thread. I hope this thread gets a lot of traction and I learn something about why others feel so differently than me. Finally, apologies for waxing a bit philosophical. Honor, or whatever you...

I agree about banning pro linespotters. We all know that race radio will never go away in road racing because the athletes and team directors will always claim rider safety, and to a certain degree they're right. But linespotters in DH have nothing to do with rider safety. That would be a tough argument to make. I think the presence of professional salaried linespotters is another huge competitive disadvantage for smaller teams and privateers. "Your team doesn't have a pro line spotter? Ours is a former senior men's world champion." As far as having to burn in a raw track...

Dude you’re not kidding. every garage in my neighborhood has a couple bikes in it and ZERO people give a shit about how I finally found a Doubledown Aggressor. I’ve even caught a couple of them look at me weird when I’m checking my wife’s e-scooter tires with a digital gauge. Retired Coast Guard neighbor looked me straight in the eyes and said he’d never heard of the Denim Destroyer. Come ON dude now you’re playing games

Raw makes for a much more even playing field. Only thought would be to have more Pro non-competitors test ride the track a few weeks in advance of race weekend to confirm safety.

100%. If I see AI used to replace a creative thing, I'm out.

I think the course looks great. Natural, off camber, multiple lines in the trees. I think it'll break down and cut up great. As others have said, I like to see some janky slow speed corners that will seperate the riders instead of bike park berms. A new venue in a new corner of the world. This is what I was hoping to see. Looking forward to seeing some of the practice footage

Rim manufacturers that offer lifetime warranties hate this track. Rim manufacturers that don't offer lifetime warranties love this track.

I've heard about that. It's Enduro that's willing to give up its right to vote in order to disappear and be protected from the horrors happening to other racing genres. Right?

Did some estimations of yoke length based on difference in BB height between the regular and evo Levos since I don't have the evo yoke in hand. The yoke length is almost certainly off by a mm or two, but that doesn't change leverage curve much.

Came here for the Sig O. Thank you.

I generally want to know if brands have any plans to improve long-term support on their products - especially anything electronic and electric motors. Are any of them planning on building a platform with a motor that can be repaired or upgraded/replaced over time? And are they going to be locked to an app that can disappear in a few years, or do they have EOL plans that let you keep using them as long as you want once its been discontinued? Avinox seems to be doing the drop-in upgrade part of that, but long term mechanical and app support...

If only someone made a linkage that allowed a longer shock to to be run on the Levo and it yielded 170 mm of travel. That would be wild.

Anyone who has owned automotive Brembos or even ye olde Grimeca System brakes will know how often they need a repaint due to fading from red to pink and chipping of the paint.. Hard anodizing on the other brands is a major plus (For me anyway) It would have been great if they offered the Brembo motorcycle Stylema anodised finishes.

Totally agree. Over 50lbs is too much. I don’t care how fast you can easily cruise up a fire road. I just wish there were more mid power options that have more DH geo and suspension. . Just my taste tho I’m almost forced to buy a DJI bike and use a small battery on eco mode. Rather not use a DJI motor.

Nah, I hope someone resurrects 26" wheels instead.

this count?
