a thing i found weird is that the fazua mtb default settings put more assist (less total power but assist sooner) in river/blue than the purple/pink mode. im pretty sure this was different a year ago. anyone noticed? (just change with the app to fazua defaults for mtb)

Weird- you guys have different settings than me in my Fazua app- I dont have r60 trail

I did notice in the Fazua Laptop application that there were 2 power settings- Road and MTB, and mine was set to Road by default

Interesting. I opened the app, went to the bottom right hand corner Customizer, + New Riding Profile, Create with Questionnaire.

Does your app have that?

On another topic, I noticed that in the Fazua toolbox, I was able to alter the front chain ring size and it saved. I swapped it to 30T, and then turned on my GPS and ran down my street until the assistance ran out and it went 20.7 mph. Was really hoping I could get it to apply motor assistance to a higher speed. That was actually top gear but my legs were not spinning very fast. I would think 25-27 mph would give assistance to top out speeds.

Anyone played with this?

It's interesting to see this video here as I was listening to it earlier today while working out. These guys are near my Winter home in Utah. Anyway, I already placed the order online for the XX AXS equipped Relay last night but like any purchase, I obsessively over research things so I've spent the whole weekend reading/listening to everything I could find on the Relay vs Heckler SL. It seemed like Loam Wolf preferred the Relay, but a lot of other reviewers preferred the Heckler SL. Granted, it was a mix of PNW and regular versions so it was often apples to oranges, but several reviewers said that the Heckler handled better, was more playful and more plush on downhills. Some felt that the Relay felt very long and therefore didn't handle technical climbs and twisty downhills as well, which is to be expected as it is more of an Enduro bike vs the more Trail HSC. But it made me wonder if part of it isn't comparing the Mullet HSC to the Relay with a 29" rear. How much does changing the Relay to a mullet make it more nimble and playful, which would be desirable to me? After some serious injuries, and a beat up body, my interest in the longer travel Relay is more for my body, than the type of terrain I ride. We definitely have some open chunky/rooty terrain where you can let the bike run here in WNC but also have a good bit of twisty flowy trails where you want the bike to be somewhat nimble. Would going with mixed wheels drastically increase how nimble it is? I'm still not sure if this bike will spend more time in NC, or UT. I may have to build up a Carbon 27.5 wheel from Nobl to try it both ways.

Biker's Edge is a great bike shop. They do a lot of bike reviews and some product reviews on Youtube. But it is really impressive how much they support the local NICA teams, Trail organizations etc.

ive a problem of my own: since i swapped my 38's damper from grip 2 to x2, the front end feels significantly better than the rear. that is, the rear is fine except on small-to-medium bump where the x2 just feels much nicer. the grip 2 felt about the same as the rear. you really feel it when the roots are maybe 2 -3 inches. I can either make the rear too soft and it sucks for jumps or bigger drops, or a bit harsh and its great except for grip & comfort (which is my current prefered setting).

I've been on the edge of swapping to a progressive coil so that the top end becomes a tad less harsh without losing too much support & bottom out, currently on the DHX + sls spring. I think the options atm are:

1 - swap for another, potentially better shock (vivid coil or the doctor stuff.. i mean cascade)
2 - swap for one of the progressive springs
3 - do nothing and wait for a DHX3 to come out
4 - you tell me!

I'd highly recommend upgrading to a 2025 dhx2. It's simultaneously more Supple and more supportive. It jumps a lot better also, than the dhx.

What did you find out?

Here is my anecdotal evidence (it should be perceived as the truth)....I owned a Relay, needed a motor replacement after owning it for 2 weeks. Currently own a Heckler SL, have owned it since August and have rode it much more than the Relay and have not had a single issue. Therefore, the Heckler is the superior bike /s.

You guys must really like the bike itself to put up with the motor issues and battery latch issue, seems like removing the battery just to charge it would be a PITA too especially if you have to restrap it down every time. Transition really should get the latch sorted for current owners, and have on the bike charge port on the next gen.

I do really like the bike a LOT. It handles so incredibly well and is my favorite bike I currently own. Removing the battery to charge it actually works in my favor because I bring a second charged battery with me when I go to trail networks away from my local options. I'll use up the first battery then can swap in the second fully charged one at the trail head in under a minute. I don't strap the battery cover on. Mine secures very well and I'm confident it'll remain in place. No mishaps so far.

I haven’t had my battery latch come loose even once. I don’t see how it could. I put about 500 miles on my Relay this year, all of which was on terrain rougher than most bike parks.

And like Nat said, it is an AWESOME frame for those that love the steep and gnarly.

For me, it’s a double win because it feels exactly like my Patrol, so it is a seamless transition between bikes.😉

Early production issue?, overblown on the interwebs?? Good to hear you guys don't have any issues Transition is a good company and makes nice bikes I've owned 2 in the past.
