If you get a chance to speak with them in the near future, please ask if the current Smart System already has the necessary radio hardware to support ANT+. It would be nice if they could roll it out with a software update this generation.

This might be the first bike to come stock from the factory with 220/220 rotors, no?

https://www.ibiscycles.com/bikes/oso Sizing guide is difficult to reconcile with the geo. Large has a 500mm reach (!) and is recommended for 173-185cm riders.

Just have him contact them and say he's a member of the "EMTB Forums" ... and join the forum!

This is all very good news, thanks. I just need a good flat/straight test area to nail down the exact discrepancy, figure out the correction factor, and make a trip to an appropriate dealer.

Huh, strange. Not that I can use the Flow app, but I wonder how it could know the proper correction to apply.

As noted by @Alexbn921 , it's a limited-edition motor supposedly reserved for EWS-e, and even if Bosch is fibbing about the production run, that magnesium case has got to be crazy expensive to produce. Ibis is usually cost-competitive with other high-end brands, so I can't see them going that...

That doesn't match what I'm seeing: - Bosch 2023 Performance Line CX - Performance Line CX – The highest performance eBike drive – Bosch eBike Systems 6.4lbs/2.9kg - Powertube 750 - The eBike battery: long range, low weight, easy to charge 9.5lbs/4.3kg - EP8 - EP8 5.73lbs/2.6kg - Darfon/Narco...

That's the old one.

Incredibly sexy to look at, but that's a huge jump in reach between sizes.

Bosch motors being what they are, we'd be lucky to see 53-54lbs.

Did the old forum use a serif font? This sans serif font is pretty to look at, but a little harder to read efficiently.

Photoshop is certainly possible, but the only bikes I know with a high swingarm like that (Siryon and Wolf Ridge) have a very different shape.

I think @Zimmerframe is onto it. If your 27.5 knobbies are more difficult to pedal on asphalt, I'd look to the difference in tires. Either knob wear, knob pattern/height, heavier casing, softer compound, or different tire width could be factoring in.

There really isn't, because trails fall under so many jurisdictions (multiple federal jurisdictions, plus state, county, and municipal), and there hasn't been a federal law passed to force uniformity. Trailforks could be used to act as a centralized source of information, but it depends on...

Whatever the actual gain, it was rough for sure. Back in the day, Bicycling listed it in their Top-10 most difficult centuries in the country. On the way back down on that century my chain dropped and ripped the rear derailleur out of the frame, so I have a decades-old score to settle, even if...

:D As I understand it, it changes from year to year, but when I did the ACC, it was ~55 miles of climbing/45 miles descending (scenic route on the climb, shortcut on the descent) and advertised as having an elevation gain of ~10,000 feet. I played around with Komoot, and the distance and my...

Okay, I did a brief ride around a couple neighborhoods yesterday and a ~3 hour ride up to Angeles Crest to Mt Wilson today and have a pretty good feel of things. This isn't going to be an organized and polished review article, so my apologies in advance if it's difficult to read. Note, I'm...

Classified Powershift? If so, it's really promising but I can't get past the price. FWIW I was doing ~33mph at 105 rpm today (stock gearing and 650b wheels).

If you never ride really technical trails and don't need your shoes to feel like normal shoes when you're off the bike, you can use clipless forever and never really miss anything. The worst part about flats is having your foot slip and getting your shin or Achilles tendon gouged by the pedal...
