Weight is a slight concern for me as well. My Decoy 29 weighs 56 lbs after I got it all built up, and my friend has a Tazer that weighs 46 lbs and it feels like a huge difference.
Very cool! New motor looks much smaller, obvious frame changes, looks like fox 38 is an option as well as ZEBLeak of the 2021 model before end of august ?

Any new leaks or info on the bikes? Came across this one on fb. So not exactly sure how credible it is. Haha looks good though!
Why is that of importance?No one noticed the big Betty rear tyre?
Where the weight is makes a lot of difference. I had a decoy and never worried about front wheel grip but it was an absolute pig to lift the front end over anything. Now i ride another brand - same weight - but a lot more pop and playfullness in the front. Have washed out a couple of times thou and learned to actively weigh the front.... i think ;-)Weight is a slight concern for me as well.

Agreed. But having an ebike that is the same power and battery size, but 10lbs lighter than mine is very appealing.Where the weight is makes a lot of difference.

What other lighter bikes are you looking at? I'm thinking Trek 9.8, which is just under 50lbs. Not sure 3 lbs or so (+/- 1 kg) will make a big difference in my decision. Any well equipped bikes in the same price range ($7k US) that are substantially lighter, say 45 lbs? I've seen some reviews of bikes <20kg, but not brands I'm familiar with, many in UK/EUAgreed.

Obviously that won’t be the new commencal, but will have to see if the price and specs of that bike are good enough to outweigh (literally) the weight difference of few other lighter ebikes on the market.
Not too sure honestly. The Intense Tazer is 46lbs and comes spec’d with nice parts for a reasonable price. Other than that, I haven’t done too much research. Just counting down the days until the Commencal is released.What other lighter bikes are you looking at? I'm thinking Trek 9.8, which is just under 50lbs.

Intense Tazer looks like a pregnant guppy. Not going to work for me at all where emtb's are illegal on trails. Trek and Commencal could pass for analog from not-too-close.Not too sure honestly.

Jesus thats hideous. Also $10,000 and it comes with the E7000 motor???Intense Tazer looks like a pregnant guppy. Not going to work for me at all where emtb's are illegal on trails. Trek and Commencal could pass for analog from not-too-close.
Isn't that the same bike that was posted a few posts ago?
This is by far the best description of a tazer everIntense Tazer looks like a pregnant guppy. Not going to work for me at all where emtb's are illegal on trails.
I think this is the real deal look for 2021, with EP8. I am liking this! Much better than 2020. Less bulky. Cleaner.Doesn't look like the EP8 motor in that pic.
I prefer the shape of the frame just above the motor though, with the slight angle up vs the other 2021 pic of the Essential MT29, motor seems like it wants to be angled up slightly more... purely for aesthetics mind...

Not defending it too hard as I’m not a fan of Intense in general. But other than looks what don’t you like about it?This is by far the best description of a tazer ever
Its always been the disappointment with that bike. Intense have everything to make a epic bike but then came up with the maternity bike
