yeah 108 NM of torque while all the other motors are 85 NM, I can't find it but something about using entirely different voltages than all the popular motor out there

Apparently can also do 6000+ climbing days and still have juice. 7500+ days with the extra battery. Main battery is 720. Beast.

i found the the batteries are now big enough, do a 4 hr sesh in boost and you will be ready for a beer
I can't find the blurb I read but the 48V is the big reason the Dyname 4.0 makes so much more power than Shimano which is 36V, otoh I also read something about possibility of getting a warning about overheating so I'm curiousand would like to hear your experiances
when you look into it a little further its an interesting desig, it has a high sprocket and uses a normal BB instead of cranks attached to the motor

I think that the total system weight (bike + rider) makes a huge difference. I can do 5k only using Turbo on my buddy's Levo with it's 700w battery and still have 15% juice left (160 lb rider on fire roads), but he's got the battery drained by 4500 (he weighs ~30 lbs more). Riding that same bike next to another friend (20 lbs heavier) on a Bullit (built up probably 3-4 lbs heavier than the Levo I was on) with a 720w battery, he was using about 20% more juice than me when we both ran Eco.
That said, the Rocky was on my shortlist except I was concerned with reports of motor issues. I'm not naive enough to think that any one brand won't have issues, but there's not many Rocky dealers near me but lots of Spec dealers, so I'll be getting one of those for peace of mind.
I'm also not sure that the high pivot is really needed for an ebike based on my riding experience. Something about how the motor sprag clutches disengage seems to basically eliminate pedal kickback. (If you rotate most ebike cranks backward, the chainring stays fixed and just the crank moves.) There was definitely way less kickback on the Levo than my GG equipped with an Ochain.

PSA - Specialized.com has a bunch of trail and gravity tires for sale around 40-50% off, Eliminator, Butcher, Ground Control etc.
Also plenty of apparel and other gear. I resisted as I have more tires/gear than I need anyway.

What would the Specialized equivalent of a Maxxis Dissector/Rekon pair for a short travel trail bike? Looking to prioritize rolling resistance but have enough grip up front. Butcher/Purgatory? Eliminator/Ground Control?

I'd go Purgatory/Ground Control. Eliminator is a great tire but IMO a bit slower than a Purgatory for a short travel bike. Though that could be good thing depending on your preferences.
I run a Butcher Front and I've run rear GC, Purgatory, and my current favorite is Eliminator on my 160/140mm Stumpy, but it's a slog on XC trails.

Is chain reaction indicating this will be on sale for black Friday? kind of feels like they just slap the sticker on a bunch of stuff for no discount clickbait?

They don't make the Purgatory in the Trail Grid casing. Same for the ground control. The trail grid is the lightest casing I would run but I'm 200 pounds and like to go fast thru chunder. Planning on running the 2.3 Eliminator on the rear with tannus insert. That and running the semi slick Slaughter at some point next summer. Also got a beefy 2.6 eliminator to run up front instead of a Butcher. I've had great luck with specialized tires.

Did end up pulling trigger on a few Spec tires and apparel.
Also finally installed 12-46 Microshift Acolyte drivetrain upgrade on my daughters bike after it’s been sitting there for months! Neighborhood test tomorrow and some trail rides this week w school break.

Fork and cassette showed up so I got to put my bike together today
Need to figure out what i'm doing for bars/stem and saddle, and cut the brake hoses to length. Most likely going to get that bontrager one-piece deal but not sure on what stem length so i want to ride it a bit with what's on there.
came out to 21 lbs even. One piece carbon bar/stem will shave some weight and I have some lighter tires but the frame itself is not that light, especially in XL (like 1500g). Might get a rigid post for it but not sure how often I'd bother switching. The internal routing has guides though so it's easy to pull housing in and out.Last edited by jamal; 11-28-2022 at 10:15 PM.

Another entry from the dentist's finance guy's wish list.
Would never buy (or eewings either), but these would look awesome on my old Lynskey Pro29 w/ twisted tubes:

The polished look great, the oil slick ones not as much
