If cost and parts availability were not a consideration, what would your dream bike and build be?

[Singletrackmind]

If you could build just one, ultimate emtb machine regardless of cost & parts availability what bike and specs would you choose? Will post my latest custom build after hear what some other riders have done, would if they could!

 

[Hey taxi !]

That is the topic of my latest post. Would be interested in the replies.

Is this build comprising of parts that exist or a pie in the sky wish list?

 

[Hey taxi !]

A bit of both I guess...

 

[Singletrackmind]

Fortunately for me cost is not a consideration and parts availability is not as well since I planned in advance and purchased parts I wanted to switch from stock components that came on bike as well as spares when I originally pulled the trigger on my dream bike.

NO belt drive is a no going for me.
And the seat automatic adjustment is a must.

Yes, that's the saddle! I esw the M/L. You can get measured at most bike shops and their are vids on YouTube that show you how to do it at home. Great saddle for emtbs! The rear raised edge does indeed provide additional support when climbing and doesn't get in the way when dropping the saddle when going down.

Good that yours is also M/L, this gives me a preview how mine will look like.

About the topic: from dream-bike to ass-size, that escalated quickly

A little more power, a lot more range and less weight. Moon on a stick until battery tech moves on.
