    Choosing my first (cheap) e-MTB

    My Girlfriend has one. It's a nice bike for the price. The 500 watt hr battery is just enough to get the OP up as high as he wants to go. Maybe even 2 twice. Great Idea mate. The only thing is the 2 amp character. It take about 6 hrs to change from 1 battery bar. My Rocky Mountain Powerplay...

    which fork its better?

    I'm actually running the Mezzer Expert and like it a lot. 180mm travle and very plush. I haven't bottomed it out yet but I don't hit big jumps either. I may add the upgrade to make it a pro but so far I am happy the way the forks ride.

    2022 pivot shuttle am pro and cons ? Help

    Sure. I came off a 2019 Focus Jam2 pro plus trail bike. 140mm travel. It was lighter wight, 27.5 plus size tires and a Shimano E8000 motor. It was definitely more nimble on the single track trails and since I'm not a big jumper 140mm travel gave me a nice ride. The Altitude is a Enduro bike...

    2022 pivot shuttle am pro and cons ? Help

    Nice. If you decided to go with the Rocky Mountain and you went with the A30 coil you would want to replace a few things. A coil shock is a good thing for us heavier riders. I'm about 200lb all kitted up and I went with a progressive 450-550lb Cane Creek spring. It gives me a plush ride and...

    2022 pivot shuttle am pro and cons ? Help

    Excuse me for butting in but you mentioned Rocky Mountain. I have a 2022 Rocky Mountain Powerplay Altitude A30 coil and like it a lot. More since I changed the spring to a progress one and changed the fork to a 180mm Manitou mezzer expert. If you demo ride a Rocky Mountain Powerplay make sure...

    Another MTB succombed to eMTB

    Heck even if you used trail mode you still don't have to be speed racer. You can ride 7 mph up hill all day long as long as you have battery power. Orbea has some nice light wight options with a larger battery you may want to look at. I think Transition dose too. I'm sure there are others. I...

    Another MTB succombed to eMTB

    Well Sir that is a great read! I'm sorry you're riding buddies don't understand that as we age our ability to ride analog mtb's gets harder and harder. The fun goes away and the desire to ride with it. Emtb's bring you back to the mountains smiling again. At 58 and a Knee surgery that left me...

    Comment by 'cabbynate' in article '2023 Marin Alpine Trail E1 – a different kind of test'

    My girlfriend has one and She really likes it. It was a big step up from her Hibike Sduro. I put my old (200 miles on it) 11-speed Shimano Deore drive train on it as the 10-speed set up it came with was crap. The derailleur clutch was dry when delivered and it actually broke at 250 miles. We...

    Has anyone tried a 180mm fork on there Altitude?

    It along with a 2.5wt Maxxis Agressor on the rear has helped quite a bit. I also put the shock in position 4. My medium came with 165mm cranks and that's also a plus.

    Altitude powerplay questions for potential purchaser

    I have the A30 coil and I really like it alot. I came off a 2019 Focus jam2 plus pro. The Focus was a trail bike and was a bit more playful for me. I don't get rowdy but I still like to hit small jumps and drops. The Rocky Mountain motor is great. Most people don't change the ride profile so...

    Shimano Deore XT LINKGLIDE

    My bike is also a Rocky Mountain Powerplay. 2022 Altitude A30 coil. Solid upgrade!

    Shimano Deore XT LINKGLIDE

    From what I have read no. You would also need the derailleur, shifter and a 11-speed chain preferably the linkglide 11-speed chain. The chainring should be ok.

    Shimano Deore XT LINKGLIDE

    I just upgraded to Linkglide XT 11-speed 11-50. The shifter, chain and cassette cost right around $300.00 usd and I feel it was definitely an upgrade to the Deore I replaced with it. Shifts anywhere anytime. We'll see how it goes as I only have one ride on it.🤞🏽

    Has anyone tried a 180mm fork on there Altitude?

    I'm in position 3 right now. Today was the first day I actually rode it. It did great but most any fork would feel better than a stock Domain lol. Thanks for your input.

    Has anyone tried a 180mm fork on there Altitude?

    I considered getting a 2.1 charger set up. I'm sure it made a world of difference. I would have went that route but I really wanted to shave a little wight off the front end. The Manitou Mezzer is right around 1 pound lighter. I figured it could use the wight savings. I still haven't installed...

    Has anyone tried a 180mm fork on there Altitude?

    I have a 2022 A30 coil Altitude and I am not fond of the Rockshox Dominion forks. They are heavy and lack the performance of a Zeb or Fox 38. I found a great deal on a Manitou Mezzer Expert 180mm I couldn't pass up. Has any of you guys/gals tried a 180mm fork on you Altitude? Rockey mountain...

    Impact liner shorts

    I have been using these for a while and like them a lot. Saved my tail bone once from a 5 foot droop directly to my tail bone. Fox Titan race shorts
