9/26/2024 10:41am No this looks like a full power Bosch Gen 5 bike as per Norco's post on IG, but it is still strange as they just released a Sight/Range VLT...maybe they're moving away from 60lbs carbon eMTBs ? Another angle of the new SC, I believe you can see a pivot, but still not fully clear.

9/5/2024 9:29am Some reviews back in 2019 stated that the bike needed a steeper seat tube angle, pretty sure it's still the case 5 years later. It's quite surprising from Specialized to let the Enduro slowly drift away without doing anything when the competition had the time to release 2 generations of their enduro bikes since then.

9/3/2024 12:00pm Bushing play is now a thing on 2025 ZEBs with the revised bushings taken from the Boxxer. Seems like Rockshox are now on the looser side instead of being sometimes very tight on previous ZEBs.

7/22/2024 7:31am Looks like some shops already have all the information on what's coming for these new gen SC bikes. New shock tunnel design, front shock mount sitting in the frame, integrated head tube badge and wireless only.

7/3/2024 6:36am The only problem I see is that current Shimano Di2 technology is NOT wireless. Stumpjumper 15 carbon frames will not be able to accomodate for Di2 derailleur cable. Shimano will be forced to come out with a newer generation with rechargeable batteries on the actual derailleur just like SRAM is able to do both (wireless & cable).

3/25/2024 9:00am Rocky Mountain are doing full SRAM builds since T-Type, go check 2024 Instinct builds. RM are also associated with IFHT films (Mahalo) so it's not that unlikely that a new promo video for the 2024 Altitude will be made by them.

3/25/2024 8:02am Mahalo are usually only riding on Trek bikes, but this one doesn't look like a Trek as per OEM tires/wheels. Could simply be the new Altitude.

11/29/2023 6:46am There's a 17 pages thread on MTBR regarding people having issues with T-Type drivetrains, might worth a read. https://www.mtbr.com/threads/got-sram-transmission-got-problems-post-he…

Rick26 Added a reply to Honest question for e-bike buyers: What's your long term ownership strategy when you buy an e-bike?
11/20/2023 10:54am That a great question and I didn't factor this myself prior to buying. I still had a really good 2 years ownership period with 0 issue related to electronics or motor, but I realized once I started trying to sell my eMTB that it was more of a pain in the ass versus selling a regular bike. You have to...
