"cheap" KSL 1.1's at JE James with 50% off on the Comp in both colours and in S4 & S5.

Decent bikes even with the motor off.

Took delivery of the last S3 KSL Expert that JEJ had a few weeks ago with just over 50% off.  Really like the bike, just switch off the motor for the DHs and it's like a regular enduro bike without all the heft of a full fat eeb, but just gives that nick kkick for the uphills.  Ive been out with my regular group (no eebs) as usual and just use without power or in eco most of the time, but riding solo it's so much nicer to have some assistance on the ups.

Excellent prices; only about £300 more than my Turbo Levo Expert I bought from Rutland in August 2017.

Probably just as well they don't have any left in my size, very temping!

Plenty of other bikes in different sizes, best not to look

There's still a few Yellow S3s in the Expert spec.

Nice bike and would definitely have one I had the spare cash. But that's what I reckon the bike's true value is. No way would I ever pay £9.5k.
I've never had a yellow bike and it's my favourite colour. 🤔

Been this price for a while and I was dead tempted as it’s even more of a steal if you do cycle to work but I’m terrible at selling what I have already.

You will be hard pushed to find a better descending bike with a little bit of assistants.

if you wanna go fast and do turbo laps this is the bike

I paid 6K for mine and this price doesn't bother me at all

I'm impressed with mine. Well worth it at 50% off... The money saved went towards a oneup dropper, horizon 2 carbon bars and a 35mm stem

Minus the crap seapost insertion I like mine.

If I ride mine off it does feel like it's in reverse though, so either my brakes are rubbing, it's bollocked already or I'm just really weak.

Mine weights 19kg and I can do double the riding in half the time I used too and feel more tired, win win

Mine is a bit like that sometimes, and other times it's like pedalling a normal bike. 

Now running a oneup 180mm shimmed to 170mm but with more insertion. Not keen on the saddle, but another Charge Spoon is on the way.

It's nee HB916 on the downs, but it's not far off being as good.

Damn, now I'm even more tempted. Dumb question, but how do you charge them? Bikes live in a shed with no power and it'd be a pain to have to run an extension out after every ride!

Mine lives in the house. That's where it's charged. 

Port on the non drive side
