I second that 🤣. Ok, there might be some negotiation needed...

@John Fuller If you get a flat with that lot, it will be terribly bad luck. I have Tannus installed (highly recommended just for the lower tyre pressure and comfort) and have yet to have a flat. When I do, my back up is to call my wife, or if she is with me, waiting sn hour or 2 for her to ride...

Patience. Time is precious I know. But a week after you get the Homage the frustration will have dissipated. 😊

The wait will be worth it. I waited 4 moths for our bikes for delivery to Melbourne and it seemed like a lifetime. Looking back it is barely a sliver of a memory that has long been left behind.

@nashdm2 it is a new feature added in the recent 85nm flash update to the motor. Yes the pedals need to be at 3 & 9 positions. It is called “Extended Boost”. Google should give you better info than I can provide. ”Finally, Bosch has worked on extending the thrust provided by the motor when...

The Gen 4 motor in eMTB mode has a new function to help riding in rougher terrain. When pedalling and you hit a rough spot/deep rutting, ‘gliding’ with the pedals parallel to the ground causes the motor to continue to provide power for a short time getting you past/over the obstacle. If your...

@Stefan Mikes trawling the R&M website is a sure sign you are infected with R&M ❤️. 😂

The wait is a killer! Congratulations on the new Homage, a great bike to choose! Let us know how you get on with investigating installing 140mm suspension on it - it will then truely be a dream machine!

Congrats on your decision. We have all had to wait so hang in there for the one you ordered.

Ouch! They are not impervious then. 6 months in and my wife’s and my Rock Razor’s with Tannus Armour remain un-punctured so here was me thinking they were indistructable.

The GX gives you the knobbly tires, dropper post, fantastically comfortable handlebar grips, and 140mm of suspension. I havent ridden 140mm Suntour (only the 100mm Suntour on the Homage), so cant comment with much confidence. My money is the Fox still being a notch or 2 up on the Suntour in...

Indeed @Stefan Mikes , the R&M suspended racks work really well and are an underrated feature not found on many bikes. Keeps 2 bottles of pinot noir from breaking on the way home from the local vinyards 😎

Not so much riding Marek, unless it is riding up a very steep hill - at 85kg I notice the extra weight but my wife doesnt. Otherwise the Homage feels rock solid Where I do notice the weight is carrying it - up our flight of stairs, into the back of the car, lifting over logs etc (we do a lot of...

Hi @marektel , I don't believe there were any noticable geometry changes to either the Homage or Delite for 2021 (?), other than the dual battery Homage having a different downtube configuration to accommodate the two batteries. My wife and I own a 2020 Delite and Homage. Both are great bikes...

What attracted me was the belt drive. The Bosch and Fox options are available in other brands, but not with the belt.

20psi with Rock Razor tires on my Delite - I ride 80% offroad.

Sounds like you have found your perfect tires @Squaxor 👍. Alaskan tipped me off on these a while back on another thread (or was than another forum?).

@Squaxor I am no expert by any means. Perhaps look for a true hybrid like Hurricane and Smart Sam. The Hurricane has a relatively flat top surface for reduced on-road roll resistance, but knobbly sides for light off road use. The Smart Sams look to be more weighted for off-road like the Rock...

@Squaxor Not that I am aware of. We took our bikes in for a service at our LBS and the Tannus was installed then. I don't think they changed the inner tubes as far as I am aware. @David Berry or @Alaskan will likely have a better idea as they probably put them in themselves. Sorry I can't be...

@Squaxor Just the ones thar came with the bike. My wife swopped her Moto-X for aftermarket Rock Razors Soft (orange stripe) compound. I have been puncture free riding on my RR with Tannus for 8 mths, and Susie’s for 5 months - also with Tannus.
