    Which for steep techy dh between SL or Rise?

    My reference related to the rise which top end mteam has 140 travel, one I’m getting is 150, I get the feeling it’s overbiked if pros use 140 but hedging a bet 150 I’m sure will be splendid on that type of quality fork

    Hey welcome to the fun house new member! ? This was the LBS as they had an M20 available and after doing a quick comparison it would have made more sense to go the upgrade route and end up with better parts. What’s eeb stand for? I bet your carbon version is lovely! Good to hear some...

    Okay so this will make you all happy and I get to prove doubters wrong at the same time! ? ebikeshop I’ve just stuck £200 deposit down as the 12/12 order (next batch is the new model in November) but the bike isn’t ready until July so I get to see if I can solve any current issues. If by July...

    Which for steep techy dh between SL or Rise?

    yeah it’s like the rise video I posted which is possibly the best video I’ve watched of trail gnarly! No clue who he is but there’s no way I’ll ever be able to do what he does even when Uber releases there self driving emtb! Right now, the acoustic bikes (love that) weigh like 16kg, mines 22kg...

    But to engage full torque requires probably boost unless EMTB kicks in at times, In any case is it needed really really? It’s very tempting to use and I do use but it does feel like it’s cheating and my chain wants to cry! doesn’t sound anything does it 6kg with the rider weight but something...

    Which for steep techy dh between SL or Rise?

    I just want to buy this one and prove to Gary you can buy skillz as I ride over pyramid shaped rocks without needing to manual or bunny hop, just cycling ? is it confirmed that 60nm isn’t quite similar to FF torque in relative terms given the lw etc?

    Which for steep techy dh between SL or Rise?

    Yep, annoying! Realistically the bikes probably geared up well for the m10 with 150 travel and it’s probably plenty of bike for myself for a good few years providing its setup okay. But 7k for what’s still mainly a trail bike I’m not sure on (same head angle as mine etc) and if you upgrade the...
