The stone you are talking about is basalt. It’s like a granite / cobble stones in the raw form. It’s black and volcanic which is why it’s probably described as coal stone. Lost in translation.
Spent a lot of time there, mainly on track 😂 but did visit the Nurburg castle and remember the black...
Not oil slick or Sam Hills 😂 but these get great reviews. I needed new ones and really pleased with them.
Good value at that price imo

I love them, think they are an awesome looking bike and would be my first choice if looking to replace my Levo.
Had a play around on the personalisation a few times and it’s similar to what I picked! 👍🏻 So good to see it in the flesh
Another vote for the trailcross goretex. I use these in winter with sealskins and they work well
Let in water eventually if out all day but I don’t think anything is 💯 waterproof
Trousers if there’s lots of rain / puddles helps as stops it going into the shoes
Do want to try the terrex tho...

Cheap and effective 👍🏻
To be honest, that's exactly where my thoughts were on that. Why would you give up the full fat motor and battery for what 1-2kg? Is there a huge saving on the transition or other Lightweights over similar spec Orbea?
This is the route we done when we was there. As mentioned by @James_C above.
Other than looking at the trail map, no real prep or planning and zero knowledge about the route.
We just headed off and hoped for the best 😂
All on 700wh specialised and 625 Bosch bikes.
Well all got round...
No, my LBS had a brochure. It had the new Sam and Jam2. 750 battery on the bosch system with the top tube display. the Jam looked very similar to the new cube / orbea. It was only a quick look, but he thinks it will be announced soon. Looked good though!
That must be new as wasn't available when I bought mine but at 60kg and the wider section for the clamp arms that looks a decent improvement over the standard one (y)
More suited to full fat full suspension emtb's!
