Thanks for watching! I think some folks here should just buy a Turbo Vado they'll save money and get similar resultsYou win "enduro" race's on an 120mm xc bike ? sure you do... but for the spec and price i think its pretty good value, review the top model for you want the fancy factory suspension, for the average joe this would be just fine if not a great bike, and review it as an e-bike comparing it against other e-bikes not your analog bike... thanks for the video
I hope folks educate themselves before buying an $8k+ bike. On the other hand, folks that don't know anything about component specs hopefully can keep the bike industry humming until the bad times blow over.
More seriously:
* Tallboy isn't an "XC bike" it's a trail bike and can definitely be ridden on enduro courses (and on races where climbing is needed, like Downieville, it will score faster times than my Spec' Enduro). Check the geometry #'s (and the weight) if you're confused here, or just go ride one.
* I wasn't talking about Factory suspension - maybe you read it on another thread? I meant the Performance Elite level, which is same damper as Factory but w/o the marketing cost of Kashima. But I wrote Performance Elite, I'm guessing you just like to make stuff up
* My review didn't mention the components as the negatives, and all the negatives (and positives) have nothing to do with the build. I thought that was obvious, but obviously I was assuming too much.
* IDK why you think I'm comparing it to analog bikes - but since some folks here just like to shoot darts and troll what was supposed to be just me offering my unbiased impressions, let me explain: when I say "motor rattle" I mean it rattles lounder than other E-bikes that don't have the Shimano motor. I didn't mean it rattles more than analog bikes, because obviously analog bikes don't have motors. Maybe I'm sounding facetious but that's how your "analog" comment sounds to me.
The one thing I agree with is that to most riders Fox Performance can be enough. But I was commenting in the video how I prefer the grip2 damper and the adjustments that come with it - personal preference - and also IMO stores should be their best foot forward on demo bikes so that riders have the best experience.
Anyway, for those who own the bike - enjoy! I'm sure you love it, and everyone has different riding styles and preferences. For those who haven't bought yet - go seek other reviews, my review was based only on 2 days of riding. And for those who just like to troll - I'm happy to make life a bit less boring for you, even if it's just for a few minutes.
