And who cares about the drivetrain type on an ebike - you mainly want reliable, reliable & reliable.

Weight & shifting quality doesn't come into it so much.

Theres a few items on 'S' model vs 'R' model apart from drivetrain, Fox36 instead of Yari, codes over guides, better dropper, carbon bars, better wheelset... ect

It only catches my eye as it looks similar to my Hightower LT. Both very nice bikes.

There is also a 5% tariff on importation on electronic assisted bikes. This is in place to protect the local manufacturers of e bikes (well one in particular).

E-bike tariffs confirmed | Newsroom | Bicycle Network

Australian e-bikes riders will have to cough up an estimated $2M a year extra after a troublesome tariff was confirmed on electric assisted bikes.

I'm fairly sure the Stealthy bikes were / are used by the Army ... there were a few on Grays online a while back - all Non Running

Full disclosure..I don’t ride ebikes...but surely with the loads the drivetrains are under, and frequently gumbies shifting under load, I would think drivetrain strength and quality is almost MORE important on an ebike?

No. That’s not how I roll.

That said, was referring to this. Maybe I have a different interpretation of ‘shift quality’

It's an big hulking clunky ebike - as long as it finds a gear, who cares!

The bargain bullshit sale. All I see are old hubs and rims and requiring "special order". How do you order in something that isn't manufactured anymore? Or am I missing something?

Welllllll, 24 x 4.0 for my Fatbike - Specialised Ground Controls - Im running 26 X 4.6 - thought i could go a change !
I.ve actually already returned them - but they are listed on the specialised site - some of the " older spec " tyres are keenly priced - for good quality ones .
Specialised for all there ( sp sorry Moorey ) faults do pretty good tyres

Don't ride a PW50 minibike either. Another creative way to scratch yourself up in new and exciting locations.

In the olden days .....think 1990 - I actually worked for Suzuki .....those little bastard bikes were deadly !
But the 4 wheelers - diabolical , well on wet polished concrete with goons riding them .
The accident book was always hilarious reading on a Friday arvo ......

Yore forgiven. (But it’s ‘their’)
The Spesh tyre (slaughter maybe?) introduced me to the even better maxxis SS. I can’t comment on any other, but have no doubt. They plough a ton into RnD, must have some effect.

I know these got mixed reviews and are a couple of years old now, but $630 delivered seems like a reasonable deal:
