Hey mate, hit the trails today and had a blast. As mentioned DHR2 front and Rekon+ on the rear both in 27.5x2.8. i think there is a marked decrease in drag which will be nice for commute and possible increase battery range. I'll say I'm no professional rider, but no notable loss of rear grip...
I've used the fidlock Bottle with the uni base adaptor to get a Bottle onto mine. Sorry i don't have any close up photos i will have to take a couple. Works good here and doesn't get it the way at all. They are really easy to use as well, great design
Update... I've ordered a Maxxis Rekon+ 27.5x2.8" dual compound 60tpi.
From what i can work out the Rekon tread pattern combined with dual compound rubber should roll nice and quick. I'll see how it goes next weekend... should be a good compromise for speed/grip with the DHR2 on the front.
Anyone have suggestions for replacement tyres on my Merida e160? I want to stick with 27.5 x 2.8" size for now but i would like to put something faster rolling on the rear. I figure this is where most of your weight/drag is and a reduction in rear grip won't be too noticeable on the trails ...

Alright boys here she is. Picked up this afternoon, can't wait to get out for first proper ride!
Got a great deal on it so i am pretty stoked. It was bought and used as a demo for 24hrs and then returned... Long story but the owner upgraded to the 900e. It's like new, not a scratch on it and...
Yep, good call haha. I ask because i have read the plus size tyres can be a little different as far as pressures are concerned with what i am otherwise used to. Bearing in mind i am quite new to mountain biking in general so only chasing a ballpark to start at so I'm in the right range. I am...
Hey guys, great forum. I've been doing a lot of reading over the last week.
Looks like i will be picking up a 2019 eOne Sixty 900 soon. I am quite new to mountain biking in general and i am currently on a 2018 One Twenty analogue bike... So this will be my first ebike too, can't wait!!
I will...
