Hi everyone !
I'm going to start by providing a little context. I'm 1m76 for 95kg, and I mainly ride in the south of France (which means steep, rocky terrain that's pretty hard on the equipment). I ride to have fun, but I might do a few competitions a year if I feel like it.
Most of my rides are 2/3h max (40km), with between 1000 and 1600m of elevation gain.
I've owned an E-MTB in the past, a Mondraker Crafty, which I didn't particularly love, the bike was super long at the front, hard to move in the air and in tight corners.
I have a fairly limited selection of brands, as a small shop near my home is offering to help me for next season with fairly generous discounts. Here are the bikes I've selected and from which I'm having trouble making a choice
- Orbea with the Rise LT H10 Orbea Rise
The build seems quite correct, maybe just the rear disc need to be upgraded to 203.
- Orbea with the Wild H20 Orbea Wild
This one need a new damper in the zeb, and the 600wh battery option.
- Cube with the One55 Cube One55
Seems pretty on-point, I didn't heard a lot of good things about these wheels
- Santa Cruz with the Heckler SC Heckler
Same as the wild need a new damper in the Zeb, and probably an other shock too.
Any advice on which one I should get ? They're all pretty similar in price ..
And I kinda lack of experience. The one I like the most is the Rise, it's light, it got power, coil shock compatible ..
