Can't decide! Nevo or Homage...

[Elmacco]

Hi all,

I am in the same situation Nevo4 HS vs Homage4 HS.

Pros for Nevo:
Bettre rear rack (more kg on top of it)
Could also have a childseat there

Pros for Homage:
Full suspension
Bettre looking

What would you go for?

As if there were only Riese & Muller in Europe

Sorry for saying that but Europe is in a way better situation than New Zealand or Australia when it comes to e-bike availability

OFC not, been also looking at the Moustache J all / Mardi / Lundi. But non of them is HS and they dont have CX / speedmotor...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. The Homage looks like a penguin to me. I think the decision comes down to how badly do you want the full suspension vs a suspension seatpost? Is it worth the extra weight/cost of the Homage? Only you can determine this.

Thats true. But how good is the suspended seatpost if for example going off road?

90% will be on tarmac though.

Specialized Turbo Vado S IGH.
It has a Specialized/Brose HS motor.
This model is only available in the European Union.

Are you able to try any versions of both? My local shop had a Nevo and an older version Homage so I was able to try both back to back though they weren't spec'd like I want. The Nevo was slightly more comfortable position wise. But, the Homage full suspension still won the day for me and was worth the extra cost. I want to do more commuting than ever before so pot-hold/road comfort is important. I currently have a suspension handlebar stem and seat-post on my bike from Kinekt, they are arguably (and according to my shop) better than the seat post the R&M includes. Based on my experience with them, they help, but they're not really smooth in the same realm as the Homage. Hopefully you can find some to try near you!

Thank you! I like the look of Homage. Might go to Sweden and try them both. But you cant have a childseat on Homage4? Is that right? I have a toddler and sometimes we go out on a ride - thats why I asked..
