Any full-fat enduro e-bikes that are 180 or 170 mm for tall riders?

Hi everyone,

Recently, I've been trying to find an e-bike that will work for me. Right now, I'm looking at an e-bike with 180/ 170mm of travel and a good battery of 750+, but I haven't had much luck because I'm 6'8". I would be very grateful for any assistance.

Don't Scott have a long travel bike in large sizes?
I know it's a 180/180 and rides fairly large because i test rode a couple when looking for my whip.

Thanks for the reply, Do like the Scott ransom, however it's only got 625wh battery would ideally like to find something we bigger. Thanks for letting me know

These also come in XL - getting good write ups and have the 800wh battery

Never seen one of these in person but I've heard good things. Might take it into consideration thank you for the suggestion.

I've recently bought a Canyon Torque:ON, 180/175 travel, Shimano EP801 motor & options of 720 or 900wh battery - its a big bike & Canyon size larger than some so maybe worth looking at?

I ride mostly @ BPW (pedalup not uplift) but also local trails and it climbs well but shines downhill

Thanks for your response, I've heard a lot of good things about the canyon torque on. I like how it's a big battery definitely one to consider thanks for the suggestion!

I'm 'only' 6'5", but share your frustrations. I look for good reach, decent stack, and a 'real' seat tube angle, not virtual.

If they still existed, a Pole Voima in K4 size would have been perfect, but Canyon Torque-on comes close (the CF9 with EP801 and 900wh battery) - just a slightly dodgy virtual seat angle to worry about.

Otherwise if you are prepared to sacrifice a little travel then the Nicolai Pinion MGU is about the best for tall folks, and those with a desire for massive batteries. Deviate Kurgan may also be worth a look.

Finding a bike that makes you feel comfortable is undoubtedly difficult. And I appreciate your recommendation. I've seen the pole bikes and like the way they appear, especially since they're big travel, but I'm unable to locate them anyplace. However, a lot of folks have noted the canyon torque and thought it's fantastic, so I've definitely been thinking about it.
