The Levo SL SW (which also has Flight Attendant, but only the fork) seems good value in comparison, you get a whole motor and battery more! Pieterlab1 1
lechatnoir Posted March 12 Posted March 12 295K? I got a very decent 2nd hand Pajero pretty recently for that. Probably has lower running costs too... This isn't the bike for me... I'm not a dentist CrankShaft, Cafe Racer, dave303e and 2 others 1 4

Add R60k and buy a new BMW R1300GS Specced one just now, put everything but the kitche sink on. 380k. If i've got 300 I def get the BMW. 2 hours ago, lechatnoir said: 295K?

Knersboy Posted March 12 Posted March 12 So basically they took the 2021 Epic Evo, fiddled with the suspension a bit, added a lunch box, and call it the Epic. I have a 21 Evo, it is a great bike so I think they made the right decision. Help.Me., batmobile, Vaalhaai and 5 others 5 3
BaGearA Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Even pulling the flight attendant off which in my mind is arguably 30% of the cost then the pricing still seems wild But to be fair we have seen quarter mill second hand bikes on here 👀 DieselnDust 1
Hilton. Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Here is the Pro model. It costs R190 000. Relative to the S-works, it loses out on: Roval S-Works wheels, the Flight Attendant suspension (on the 2nd from the top model?!), it downgrades the drivetrain to XO T-Type AXS from XXSL, the SL integrated cockpit, and of course the S-Works 12m carbon frame. It loses all of that. And STILL costs as much as the S-Works like 2 years ago. 😡 (Never mind that the Comp is almost identical to my '23 Epic Evo, including 120mm travel and GX mechanical drivetrain, not AXS, for R105k 🤨 nonky and RoadNoob6 1 1
Phillippe Coetzee Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Very interesting fork and shock lockout 🤔 Is this the first time the lockouts are wireless or not ? Really not sure XD

This isn't the bike for me... I'm not a dentist Yes, and it's R295k because it's old and worn. At the equivalent age and wear, an Epic would cost R60k.

hansolo Posted March 13 Posted March 13 New Evo looks amazing and very similar to the Top Fuel I bought last year with a 130mm fork at a "reasonable" price. Nice to see bike companies put in solid Engineering in newer bikes and how each generation gets better. DNC 1

New, shiny things, that is. Time to stop worrying about the price, and getting the fitness up there with what you own now! I've had people beat me on "inferior" equipment, and I've beaten people on superior equipment. These kinds of marginal gains are truly meant for the elite athletes. I'm pretty sure Matt Beers' new S-Works fully decked out will cost about the same as his sponsored Hilux. nonky and Zebra 1 1

A tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme... I love the internet.
