Been waiting a good few months for this to come in, and finally got it yesterday. Ordered before I even knew about the new motors, and Bird sorted it all out.
Forbidden Druid E Tier 2 8n size S3 frame only, so it has the evil M2S motor, built up with a few parts off my old KSL plus a few new ones.
I thought it would ride a bit like the HB916 as that's also a high(ish) pivot with an idler, but it's better IMO. Seems to be plush like a long travel bike, but pops off stuff like a short travel bike.
800Wh battery (KSL was 320Wh) so "only" 1300W & 130Nm (KSL 250W & 35Nm). One ride so far, and mostly used auto set to 900w, 90Nm but will likey turn that down. Turbo and boost are daft, but ultimately not that useful as all you do is get to 15.5mph faster.
