Are extra e-bike batteries really priced at almost two grand? Does someone bring out to you when your current one goes flat on the trail?
Does it come with a Bruce & Walsh diamond encrusted display case?

Yup - usually a $1k plus nuts isn’t it.

The current Levos are about $2k off and you get an extra battery.

I'm thinking there's a new model coming.

What happened to titanium springs for coil shocks? They used to be everywhere, now it seems like everyone runs painted steel ones?

All those colours look so cool.
It's because there really isn't huge weight savings for the additional cost compared to a high quality steel spring.
While Ti is ~40% lighter than steel by volume it also has a much lower Young's modulus which means the geometry of the spring has to change to compensate. When companies started making lighter steel springs by using higher grade spring steel, it closed the the weight difference gap to the Ti springs so much that it made them a much less attractive option.
