– The build and test<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Testing the Production Sample<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Fedex going on strike in Australia only made the anticipation higher, but the first production sample arrived quickly. In anticipation we had all of the components ready to assemble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a brand new design, it went together very easily. There are some minor changes to be made, but the existing tooling can be easily modified<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now the exciting part, ride testing. Greg did an initial fork and shock setup before heading to Thredbo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An initial local shakedown, before hitting the road to Thredbo, with a stop in at Mt Stromlo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Testing at Mt Stromlo, Thredbo, and then back on the rocky trails of the Northern Beaches has really tested the bike in all conditions. The bike has performed really well, confidence inspiring, poppy and stable on the downhill tracks and loads of traction climbing, even with just a quick setup from Greg. The bike has exceeded expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is still more testing and setup to be done, and then we’ll be creating base tunes for all levels and weights of riders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While we wait for the first M510 motors to be delivered(in the next couple of weeks), we have been using the M500 but with improved firmware to draw more current than standard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ultimately the bike will be supplied with the new M510 which is 0.5kg lighter because of a new a magnesium casing and also has 20% more power. Combined with the improved internals and increased current draw of the M510, the performance will be outstanding<\/p>\n\n\n\n
