Great video, I'm currently torn between the XR and RR.. I've demo'd the RR and loved it, but yet to try the XR. On paper the 1° slightly slacker head (and reach) on the xl size XR would suit me better, but I can't find one to try locally, they're all on back order 🤦♂️. Does it feel slacker when compared to your ole RR?? Thanks
@thereal_razorborg7183 Жыл бұрын
Tbh it's totally different. I'm very surprised tbh. I reckon the best way to describe how they are is RR is trail . XR enduro . Hope that helps. Between the two . I'd absolutely choose the XR . The ohlins is also a game changer 😊
@dirtyoffroader2093 Жыл бұрын
@thereal_razorborg7183 That's excellent help, thank you. As I mentioned the RR felt really great, but I just wanted the front to be a tad slacker on descents. So I think I'll definitely go with the XR (if I can get an XL) some amazing deals on with them at the moment too. Thanks again for the reply. Much appreciated 👍

I have a mondraker Chaser R 2022, had no issues until what seemed the last pre Xmas update. As soon as I updated it, I got a fault code come up every now and again , 513001 , happened more and more often, took it back to a Bosch dealer shop, ( not the one I bought it from ) as it’s 170 mile away. Anyhow, bosch said it’s the cadence sensor in the motor , so new motor via warranty it is, I’ve done over 1200 miles on it in 1 year. Hope mines not plagued going forward . Hope your new bike is reliable for you mate. Any clues on what your getting in replacement.

30 minutes of you huffing and puffing along with your voice being distorted and muffled.....

Bosch got very snarky when I asked how they managed to release an update without testing it. I've heard 4 different versions of when it will be fixed. I'm sat here holding my breath with anticipation 🙄

@TheReal_ Razorborg @TheReal_ Razorborg it hasn't been fixed yet. Was told by the bike shop the fix was coming 20th march. Bosch wouldn't give me a date for the fix or a straight answer about whether the mileage can be wound back but other posts suggest not. I did ask how they managed to release an update without checking if it worked but they just got snarky and wouldn't answer. As far as they're concerned the motor works and it doesn't affect actual speed therefore it's not an issue. My first experience of E bikes and bosch, not impressed at all
