Love how these look! But the devaluation on e-bikes is insane. The SLs are even harder to sell. I’d encourage anyone purchasing a SL to be sure you’re going to keep it as they don’t hold their money at all.

Totally agree with your sentiment, I sold my SB130LR and bought a 2024 Orbea Rise H10 with the 540 battery. First ride had a smile as soon as I hit the climbs. I’m also time poor and can now get in extra kms and elevation per ride.

remember when it was just a joke to say that your bike cost as much as your car

Now you have bog standard vw golfs that cost more than a 90s 3 bedroom detached house with a garage and gardens

How does it compare to the Levo sl gen 2 ?

@moosicman101 8 ай бұрын

i just demoed this and the levo sl 2 this past weekend up at china camp park. on the levo, it felt like an extension of my body. the heckler seemed more in its element in the chunkiest stuff but felt surprisingly dull on most rides. also tried a shuttle sl which was right in between.

Looked at it locally, then saw the price of 9370.- usd and comes with sram NX, Fox36 rythm and thought to myself, no thank you.

Sram should be sued for sx and nx. They just DON'T work.

Mines up to 15k before depreciation of course.. but it's a dream build and I would never spend that in my life again... amazing bike though, no buyers remorse here.

@@_Jake.From.Statefarm_ this video spec for 7599 pounds sounds more sane. In my neck of the woods they sell twice as bad components for basically 20% higher price. At 7600 euros I would buy that spec but it is probably 11K down here…

@jevgeniardassov yeah mine was the cc carbon 12k one and I put a dhx2 fox 38, onyx classic hubs, maven brakes and rotors, 155mm forx cranks, etc... she's a beauty though!
