The Good
Absolutely insane how silent this bike is, motor as well as freehub, what a dream!
Fully customisable motor performance (via the Specialized app)
Very nice component selection
Sensational downhill performance; tracks the trail insanely well (<img data-caption="" data-image-style="ckeditor_fullscreen" src="https://www.vitalmtb.com/sites/default/files/photos/users/56335/product_reviews/2025/02/IMG_5035.jpg" width="1500" height="2000" class="img-fluid" data-insert-type="image" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7e0b62bc-acba-4fcd-9029-23695562fd29" data-insert-attach="{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;7e0b62bc-acba-4fcd-9029-23695562fd29&quot;,&quot;attributes&quot;:{&quot;alt&quot;:[&quot;alt&quot;,&quot;description&quot;],&quot;title&quot;:[&quot;title&quot;]}}"><img data-caption="" data-image-style="ckeditor_fullscreen" src="https://www.vitalmtb.com/sites/default/files/photos/users/56335/product_reviews/2025/02/IMG_5035.jpg" width="1500" height="2000" class="img-fluid" data-insert-type="image" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7e0b62bc-acba-4fcd-9029-23695562fd29" data-insert-attach="{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;7e0b62bc-acba-4fcd-9029-23695562fd29&quot;,&quot;attributes&quot;:{&quot;alt&quot;:[&quot;alt&quot;,&quot;description&quot;],&quot;title&quot;:[&quot;title&quot;]}}"><img data-caption="" data-image-style="ckeditor_fullscreen" src="https://www.vitalmtb.com/sites/default/files/photos/users/56335/product_reviews/2025/02/IMG_5035.jpg" width="1500" height="2000" class="img-fluid" data-insert-type="image" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7e0b62bc-acba-4fcd-9029-23695562fd29" data-insert-attach="{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;7e0b62bc-acba-4fcd-9029-23695562fd29&quot;,&quot;attributes&quot;:{&quot;alt&quot;:[&quot;alt&quot;,&quot;description&quot;],&quot;title&quot;:[&quot;title&quot;]}}">the combination of the performance elite shock and fork is tough to beat)
Solid brakes
Corners very well thanks to the mullet set up
The range extender
Tubeless set up from Roval (Game Changer!!)
Frame already protected with a frame specific invisible wrap (in the most exposed places)
The Bad
The price maybe (if you pay full price it's your own fault)
Relatively short dropper for long legged individuals
Lower ground clearance thanks to the mullet set up
Wireless derailleur not connect to bikes battery
Overall Review:
IMG 5035

Really mentioned all my impressions above. I think this is the most fun bike I've ever had, even a lot better and faster than the previous iteration. 

For my personal preference I would only maybe swap out the dropper for one with a bit more drop and I will definitely swap the brakes for my all time favourites: Hope Tech 4 V4. The rest of the components are rock solid. I also like how the cable of the rear brake is fixed with a little clip to the stem. A nice touch to make a quiet bike the most quiet bike I've ever heard (or not heard).

A rather pleasant surprise was how easy the tubeless set up was. The rim tape was pre-installed on both rims and the tubeless valve "click" in place and an air seal is secured with a tiny o-ring. I control pressure only once a month (!) to top it up maybe by 0.5 to 1 bar max. It basically doesn't loose a significant amount of pressure over 2 weeks time. For me, unheard of until now.
