I'm looking for an agressive enduro bike to send of the steep and gnalry stuff and I think I have settled on either the Sam² or the Decoy, however open to suggestion.
The Sam² I can buy locally and the Decoy is obviously direct to customer.
This is not a "do it all" bike since I have a YT Jeffsy 29" 140/140 trail bike which I'll keep and use as well, the ebike needs to be burlier.
Intended idea is freeride, as in pedal the bike out in the woods where there are no bike trails, to ride terrain I dont acess easily on my regular bike. At best there is old overgrown machine trails and animal paths.
So focus is gravity based riding but not mountains but instead shorter sections which probably will be shuttled several times. In between these sections its pretty flat in general.
What would you choose and why?
Sam² looks to be a bit more agile which should make the bike a bit more fun when riding the flatter trails. Smaller battery which I dont know if it will be an issue or not. The TEC pack looks a bit wierd and like it would place weight in a bad place, also makes the bike more expensive.
Decoy seems to get fairly good reviews except it not being that playful. Not sure about the mullet setup but the 29" front will probably help in the rough terrain. Bigger battery, better spec.
If the battery capacity were equal I think I would go for the Sam².
Any input? ?
