540wh + Optional 180wh Cage battery

100mm travel XC version without a dropper or 120mm travel with a dropper.

65nm motor (claimed in house developed by BH). 2.2 kg. 36v.

Carbon 8.4 LT Pro and Carbon 8.6 Pro come with the 180wh cage battery.

The cage is quite neat :

Fairly discrete display, which is ANT + Compatable. The Display also lets you configure the modes, power, acceleration and so on :

The spondoolies/equpiment :

The 120 bikes ... I'm too lazy to copy up the 100...

The most expensive 100mm XC bike weighs in at 16.8kg.

Looks like they have copied the levo sneaky sideways hide the battery downtube .

 

[maynard]

U no u look from the side and she's hot . But from behind ur levos kinda got a big downtube . But I still love her.

 

[R120]

Bafang?

 

[ggx]

Don´t like the price .

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Possibly Bafang. Maybe same unit as Forestal Siryon.

what a weird YouTube promo. Actually though i was watching a pre roll advert for protein powder before I saw any bike product

I quite liked it's honesty.
Their bike allows fat biffers to ride uphill at the pace of a world class professional XC rider but said biffer still rides back down like a pie

 

[Gary]

Porky old biffer having a lot of "fun" , completely within his abilities and he doesn't give a flying fig he can't win XC, or manual.

The XC rider's ride looked to be longer, further and he actually looked like he was having fun with the terain while the Ebike rider just looked like he'd lost the TV remote and couldn't be arsed standing up or putting any effort into finding it to "change the channel"

I thought it was an adaptation of a Charles Dickens novel called "A Tale of Two @Doomanic's" ..

 

[R120]

The Lynx effect - for when you just cant be f@@ked

 

[Doomanic]

Maybe same unit as Forestal Siryon.

I don't think so; Forestal claim 1.95KG and it's a 48V system.

 

[R120]

Its the same system the use in their road bikes, launched late 2019

Also has one of the slickest displays I have seen, built into top cap

 

[Zimmerframe]

Not sure if any of these will help anyone identify it ..

Name 2ESMAG
36V
Part number 2003BH0804(E)

the yt promo sounds like the WALL-E prophecy

riding an ebike i don't feel like this..i'm 68kg and 1,70cm and i try to avoid junk food..why this video should move me to spend money?

 

[Slowroller]

It's a great ad promoting P2P (Gamers will get it)

 

[Gary]

why this video should move me to spend money?

As with all advertising it doesn't really matter if it moves you.
But surely a lighter rider like yourself can see the advantages of riding a light Ebike and without this thread/video you may well not have even known BM were an option for a lightweight XC Eeb.
I certainly didin't.

 

[chamaruco]

Thanks for the advice

 

[Konanige]

With only 120 travel I'd sooner just ride my xc analogue bike as it weighs about 13.5 kg! No need for a motor!!!

 

[Gary]

 

[DtEW]

Yey, honest real world emtb marketing.

Aspirational marketing ("I would like to be a badass") vs. I-have-learned-to-become-okay-with-sweatpants marketing ("I accept my qualitatively bad ass and... wait, is that chili?") approaches.

BH iLynx Race Carbon neatly tucks in BH's own light, powerful, long-range e-bike system

New BH iLynx Race Carbon e-bike doesn't look so different than its standard pedal-powered sibling, but packs a powerful, long-range boost!

Marathon e-Bike?

 

[maynard]

looks kinda cool . Who needs a bashplate when u have a chainring to smash.

 

[ggx]

I think they have nail it in the battery size/range against the Orbea Rise or Levo SL smaller capacity battery´s. For me, actual standard is the range provided with the 630/700wh . What do you all think?

 

[Shjay]

I went to their head office/warehouse in Spain few yrs ago was doing a bit of reping along with Oneal for them, not many bike shops had heard of them, their road bikes were nice! warranty wasn’t the best, was about 6yrs ago just as Orbea doing well

 

[Cavi]

I like it but 120mm is not enough travel in this day and age

 

[ThierryGTLTS]

Anyone who find reviews of this bike?!
And the road version seems to be very quiet too, I see very few reviews.
