So to answer the questions. What do these ebike specific parts have.
Well most ebike have longer chain stays then similar travel enduro bikes which put more weight onto front tire and more side load on rear tire. 20+ lbs on average heavier.
Can you run none ebike compoments and have good...
Eddie comes in 2.4, 2.6, 2.8
Only 27.5x2.8.
The 2.8 is the biggest tire I’ve ever seen in a 2.8
But for play riding it works really well on everything. Just little slow but for its size surprisingly fast
No i mean max, but the photo and test is regarding ebike tires currently on market.
Little teaser, the Hans Dampf 2.35 super gravity on a 32 internal wheel is something to look at, fast and predictable.
Michelin and max both gave me the tires for review. But i promise i won’t let that sway my review.
The max tire isn’t available yet so it won’t be disclosed until there approval to release photos
I have 4 sets of the michto test, 2.6 and 2.8
The front and rear Ewild have sametread design but...
I had one, reason i got rid of it was seat post doesn’t go low enough for a true enduro DH type bike with 180 travel.
Really nice bike well built, but battery weight in down tube combined with the high seat profile left me uneasy and feeling like bike was nose heavy and top heavy on chunky...
With my cushcore insert i just ride it flat back to truck. 3.8 miles last time and through a couple rock gardens.
I went bit slower then normal but didn’t baby it. Tire was already no good so thought i would see how far i could go on a flat.
Felt the rim a couple times on sharp rocks but i...
It
It’s almost scary how much faster on a DH run a unrestricted bike is. I didn’t have enough brake power.
I think the litpro times i supplied to officials is the only thing that gave them sufficient evidence i truly competed without a battery, combined with the photos of the empty battery...
Seems as since the bike visually looked to have a battery they felt it was active. Even though at the finish all contestants where given a chance to visually inspect the bike and watched me swap out the battery to ride out.
Thinking it wasn’t a contender who protested but rather a...
I may have lost some time in big hard G blue groove berm as i burped rear tire on the exit trying to get right exit for better line into next section.
Still can’t. Believe it burped at 40psi with super gravity case. Guess gonna have to go to wire bead in rear.
Eddie is pretty true to size advertised.
My2.4 measures 2.38 on a 30 internal
My 2.6 measures 2.603 on a 36 internal.
Eddie up front is awkward. I can’t put my finger on it. Just leaves me guessing, it has never done anything bad exp in mud, it’s horrible in mud.

So this past weekend i entered DH on my Fantic Integra 180 Tnt race replica Ebike without a battery in Cat 1 downhill.
Finished third in Cat 1 behind Silva and Roussel.
Both on 15+ thousand dollar sub 33 lbs bikes on a heavy pedal course.
There was a 120 meter climb in the coarse.
No duel...
Not
Not even close, Eddie has more grip everywhere, better ride and slightly slower rolling. On hard surface with loose on top there isn’t a fire that will touch it.
Rode my ebike at seaotter classic in the DH track unrestricted in a couple pre runs with 29x2.6 Mary up front and 27.5x 2.8...
Thanks Karsten.
So I’m gonna clear the air.
Gary, don’t confuse a tire side wall cut on a keep trail as a wheel failure spot. That was a reference to how do you cut a tire on a trail like that??
You took it as a wheel failure. Not the case.
As for you what’s offensive isn’t the fact you...
