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!
