Absolutely Steve, I've ridden a ksl for 3 years, and I think I've ridden it pretty hard on pretty much every type of riding there is and I can honestly say I would buy the Amflow over the Ksl in a heart beat. There is more reasons behind that than just the way it rides, and I love riding the Ksl but I'm no faster on the Ksl than the Amflow. So if you ride like me, what I'd call slightly above average then the Amflow is the bike to have. Now its not for everyone, if your an absolute shredder and ride towards the pro rider end of the scale your gonna find it's limitations but for prob 90% of riders out there you wouldn't be disappointed.

@@dave_waudby awesome mate thanks for that! think ill have to get one :

Na!! No springs on magura

Solution to what though? The Display is as stated IP rated so that's a sealed unit and there's several ingress points throughout the bike already (as with any bike), there's little chance of any real damage as a result of water getting in there, the headset, the bb or anywhere else. As for R&D being BS lol I trust you've not seen or experienced the motor lol. Good to know that some random internet stranger knows more than the combined Amflow R&D team though, let me know when you start employment with them shake up their engineering department kek

@rtorbs water gets in anywhere it has a chance...sorry bro but no sealing where electrical wiring is is a no go. Oh let me look again, was I talking about the motor? No I wasn't, nor was the OP, you brought it up! Obviously you have some personal issues with which I can't help you. Have a wonderful life and enjoy your bicycle you dummy...

@aleszverca Yeah and water will run to the lowest point away from cables that are also iprated you melt lol. The motor ref was purely sarcastic suggesting amflow put their R&D efforts where it matters, i.e the motor and not some fictional weak point that you fabricated cos you're just a hater lol. Enjoy your basic emtb. Dummy. Lol

@@aleszverca Lol and? the cables are IP rated and water will run to the lowest point which will be the BB anyway ! The R&D ref was purely sarcastic stating that Amflow put their efforts into the motor and not a fictional weak point that some armchair engineer deemed critical.....enjoy your none Amflow though. Dummy. lol

🤦 got a box full of em 😉

Crank brothers TT17 tool storage, didn't like the look/bulk of the amflow frame bag so I've been on the lookout for something a bit more discreet that would fit under the top tube. I hate riding with a pack so I bought the TT17. Looks super slick tucked under there and has every essential you'd need for a trail side repair. It's expensive though 😖

@@Chr1s_race burgtec enduro mk3 stem, amflow alloy bars

@Amflow-o1g thank you for the information 👍

It's 750ml fidlock, I also have the 450ml for smaller rides. Both work great and fit nice.

coming off a 170mm long slack enduro bike, I'm blown away by how capable this bike is. I'm coming round to thinking the majority of people are well over biked for what they ride(including me)

@@dave_waudby thing looks like a rocket ship , 4th trail was mint ! Keep us posted

​@MrDaymien1 check out my latest range test vid in peak district, the thing flies on fast rocky descents 👌

there is a strava link further down the comments 👍

If you look on the Amflow bike community group on Facebook on my post where I shared a link to this video I have listed all my mode settings in a reply to a comment. 👍 I was in eco and auto 90% of the time with trail and turbo being the other 10%

@@dave_waudby cheers ill try to dig it out! 👍

Rockguardz

@@dave_waudby thank you very much

Super trail, super soft tacky chan up front and super trail, soft big Betty in the rear. I run rimpact inserts front and rear, I personally don't think you need any stiffer carcas than super trail if you run inserts. 17psi front and 21psi rear. This setup works for me, I've ridden Scotland,Wales,Lake district, French alps with this setup and no probs at all 👍

Cheers, yer that stem is a weak point on an otherwise solid build for the price.

What discs did you fit?

@ I mounted the Magura MDR-P 220 mm front and 203 mm rear

​@@florianworz541 Thanks for the info

@@dave_waudbyMT5s are Magura’s unsung heros. Swapping to the HC1 one finger brake levers is a fine upgrade👍🏼

The paint finish is top quality, it's the lacquer or whatever they put on to finish it that's shite, I invisd before first ride and mine still looks like new.

It's fine, lever needs a bit more pressure to push it than I'm used to but I ain't fussy when it comes to droppers, as long as it goes up and down it'll do me. 🤷

Out of interest which shock are you going for? I’ve been in contact with a dealer and also Amflow and they don’t recommend the Fox DHX, Fox say they don’t like their coil shocks to be used on bikes with a yoke link as it potentially causes premature wear however I am waiting for the the review by robridesemtb to be posted to see what his thoughts are from the custom build that he built up.

@stuartrobertson2890 I'd be more interested in a genuine amflow owners opinion who's bought everything with their hard earned cash than what Robridesemtb says. Nothing against Rob as I like his content but you get what I mean 🤷

@@dave_waudbyI get what your saying however £600 outlay on a shock that Fox say isn’t suitable for a yoke suspension bike could be a costly mistake and as he was trying one it makes sense to at least listen what he has to say

When I contacted Amflow they said the bike was tested with ohlins and rockshox, I questioned why not Fox as both their bikes have Fox front and rear, the technician was going to query it with the design department but I’ve not heard anything back yet.

Totally agree 👍

I'll be up there on mine as soon as there's a decent weather window, its my favourite place in the uk to both ride and hike. ❤

@ Ah, nice one Dave. Forecast looks ok next week lad. 😉

Not sure what's going on with the elusive rattle, seems some rattle and some don't. It'd make more sense that something other than the motor internals are causing the rattle such as cables or something that could be slightly differently assembled with every build, surely the motor assembly is a constant and pretty much each one is identical 🤷

@s4mmyd1980 I've replied to one of the other comments with a link to my mates strava so you'll find it there. 👍

Although the dji motor is very powerful they seem to have made it quite efficient aswell, pretty impressive.

strava.app.link/wqwxsOhfgQb this is ride my mate recorded, my garmin missed abit😖

I think Will tweeks for the sound (and doesn’t like noise - he’s just changed his brakes from MT to SRAM for that reason rather than changing the pads 😂).

my mate was on a giant reign, 170mm travel, factory suspension, real nice bike and yes hes pretty quick. No motor rattle on mine although i probably wouldn't have heard it over all the rocks smashing my rims and downtube 😀

How much battery did yr m8 have left?​@@dave_waudby

Also which power mode did yu use?

​@bikemad ​@bikemad he didn't!! He took a spare battery in his back pack, he used his 750wh up and maybe a third of the other one which I think was a 500wh. His 750wh battery isn't great, it's not at 100% health and runs down alot faster than normal so that was a factor in him taking a spare battery.

🤣

Cheers for the info, I've just ordered some galfer pads on someone's recommendation, they are what you call the 8ps so will see what difference they make.

@ your welcome. Also don’t forget to lightly sand and clean your rotors, to get the old pad material off, before you bed in the new brakes. I’ve made that mistake before

Speed limit is 25kph in the UK, its there because I think our laws would class the bike as a motor vehicle if it went over 25kph, you would then need insurance, road tax, mot etc to ride it on the road. I don't know of a way to unlock it but someone will figure it out.

It rides great, if you try one you'll want one 😉
