Varg MX 1.2

[Theo]

Now on their website the original MX is no longer an option and you can only order the MX 1.2, which, as far as I've understood, is the MX updated with the EX improvements: 7.2 kwh battery, Arkenstone, etc.
The weight is still stated to be 118 kg like the first MX version.
The price is 500 € less than the first MX when it was released.
I wonder whether the first MX will ever get the adjustable power curves.

On the US website for the MX 1.2, there is a new option to choose enduro suspension rather than MX suspension. Hurray! So no need to get an EX to get enduro suspension from the factory. Interestingly, it does NOT explicitly call out wheelset size, so not sure if the 18" rear wheel is still an option on the MX 1.2. At first, I really wanted the EX with the head/tail/brake lights, but since I won't ride it on the street, really not necessary and more to break and the MX 1.2 is 4lbs lighter than the EX and about $400 USD cheaper, but the better harness, phone/cradle, and most importantly, 7.2kWh battery. Hmmm.
