Bosch gen5 bikes, which ones do you like?

Crestline looks really nice, but damned expensive.

Crestline is kind of inline with pivot, Santa Cruz and others for pricing when you look at what the spec is. The pivot shuttle LT xtr is about $750 usd cheaper than the top end Crestline.if you preorder and get the discount from Crestline. The crestline has a better spec and carbon rims. They are all crazy expensive but my point is Crestline doesn't seem worse than any of the others.

True if you are within their country.

If you are like me outside, in Europe, then the price goes drastically up and you are on your own for duty & taxes where most of other brands have relay/warehouse/reseller where you can get a nearly similar price in every country.

Still this is right the Crestline, without taxes, is a great deal, good geo, goo kenematics, good parts, I would rather spend my money on them than on the recent pivot/focus/santa/amflow.

I think the title needs changing or the list needs editing as the choices make no sense otherwise .

It was just a way to start a discussion topic during the week of the new bosch release.

Turns out some of the new bikes don't have the new motor and many don't have the 800Wh battery, so we can't really consider them Gen5. So in the end I added the AMflow which is very attractive in the trail segment.
