    Ok it’s definitely the 2021 model, but it looks like you got the last of the Hans Dampf. Post a photo when you can.

    How much deposit to order a new R & M?

    That sounds pretty reasonable @David Berry

    Time from order to delivery.

    Congratulations! That kind of implies it is the 2020 model - no change from the 2021 model other than the Tyres as far as I can make out, and a slight increase in the down tube battery from 500 to 625. What is your batter capacity?. Definitely get some Tannus Tyre Armour installed. They...

    How much deposit to order a new R & M?

    It was 50% deposits for my Wife's 2020 Homage and my 2020 Delite.

    Yeah, I have bent a pedal on a rock already lol. It is way more playful off road than I expected, compared to my Delite GX with Fox. Subtle geometry changes and the Nobby Nic 27.5 tyres is all it took. Lets hope yours arrives in the next week or two!

    Improved service on the horizon from R&M?

    That chart has, by now, likely been blown out of the water. My company does research in the recreation field and we recently did a study on a newly constructed shared pathway in New Zealand. 40% of bikes using the pathway were ebikes. I would say 3 years ago it would have been closer to 5%.

    It arrived a couple of weeks ago @bmatt and loving it! It sat in customs for 2-3 weeks.

    Improved service on the horizon from R&M?

    I’m curious to know who innovated first. Both R&M and Nicolai are touted as industry leading innovators, yet they both do the same thing (Nicolai’s rear suspension is more ‘complex). One surely copied the innovation of the other to start with? So who did the Bosch, FS, Rohloff + Gates first?

    2021–2022 Riese & Müller Homage

    @John W M if you wife is lighter she will have more range on a single battery than you will. My wife and I are in our mid fifties too, and live in a hilly area (average 600m elevation most rides) with lots of trails. I have a 2020 Delite Vario and my wife the 2020 Homage Vario, so both with...

    Time from order to delivery.

    I have a 2021 Superdelite Mountain Rohloff arriving (Australia) this week, ordered at the start of September 2020. This bike is replacing my 2020 Delite GX Fox ordered at the same time of the year (start of September 2019), which arrived mid January 2020. So 1-2 weeks difference in delivery...

    Superdelite engine jerk when kicking-in

    Hmmmmm, ok I wondered if you may have been in too high a power assist for the speed/terrain which can make the engine jerk someonewhat, but that doesnt seem to be the cause. Sorry, it was worth a shot raising it. As I said above the motor, since your flash upgrade, is not performing as...

    Superdelite engine jerk when kicking-in

    Does this happen in all power settings - eco, tour, sport and turbo? Or are you noticing it more in sport or turbo?

    2021–2022 Riese & Müller Homage

    Software I think could deal with that Stefan. 0km/h for x seconds = pre-selected gear until cadence = y?

    2021–2022 Riese & Müller Homage

    One enhancement which could make it into a future Homage could be Enviolo’s automatic hub. My understanding how this hub works is you dial in your target cadence, and it automatically changes up or down to help you reach it. This might tempt less technically driven purchasers into the Homage...

    2021–2022 Riese & Müller Homage

    Homage with Fox would be a dream bike for many many riders. It's at the top of the list (now that the Homage has a dropper post too) for Homage improvements - its a short list. We swopped my wife's tyres on her Homage to Rock Razors because of the trails we are riding and I recon the Fox would...

    Riese & Müller Charger3, Enviolo knob very stiff

    Bonjour ca va. My Delite Vario (enviolo) gets quite a lot of off road riding, including muddy conditions, and what you described has not yet happened to me after 1 year of ownership. My wife rides the same trails as me on a Homage Vario, and the same - no issue. When turned off, both our...

    Superdelite engine jerk when kicking-in

    This is not normal. I had my Delite updated at its last service - no change other than a snappier motor. I’d get it checked out.

    Riese & Muller vs Gazelle

    It is an unfair comparison in many respects, as a comparison does not apply a straight line model where, if you pay twice as much, the bike will be twice as good. To eek the last bit of performance and quality out of a bike requires exponentially more expensive components, which R&M have...
