I thought you’d appreciate that! I mean really, this one has this, that one has that, none of them perfect. Such a mind warp.
I had Gen2 Levo previously and now Shimano..and also Bosch on my commuter. Never thought I need more power.
Correct me if I’m wrong but is it all about power , what about efficiency from battery how about ride ability , still now the guys that do reviews on all the bikes Amflow ,whyte etc etc there Goto if they are not sponsored after they have ridden the Amflow is still a Levo regardless of power .The Amflow is good but is it great ? The Specialized you know what ever they release will not only rival but give an excellent ride, power where you need it when you need it on a balanced bike second to none. I think we are in for a bike that preforms in the top 3 releases this year of any of the bikes that are being released, and I think that most riders will reach their limit way before they reach the bike’s limit
I have a full-power ebike (albeit a few years old now) and honestly would be very happy to have more power. Everyone has their own preferences.
I’ve never understood this statement.
But E8000 is history, I`m prefering current 85Nm-90Nm bikes
But there so many variables how and where people are riding. I`m riding singletracks and bike parks and so no need for more power.
A DJI motor and battery in my KSL would be awesome, but then a 1.2 Mahle would also be awesome, so I'm not exactly particular.
Read the previous 68 pages…….should give you a good idea.
Where does the ibis oso stack up on that chart? If I was ever going to try another plastic bike, that one would be near the top of the list. Amflow is to cross country for me.It was for me. The lower spec gen 4s won’t arrive here in the antipodes until mid year, so they weren’t even on the page.
Here is my decision multi-criteria analysis.
YMMV

It was down to what was available at the lb shops. Orbea Wild was an option but too burly for my needs. The Chinese special handles 3 - 6’ jumps no problems - which is all I need.
Apparently you weren’t aware that the original priced Oso was a completely disaster when it came to sales for Ibis, so this lower price is just a swing for the fences to get some of their losses back.I would conclude that if Ibis can sell its bike for $6,000, it just means that all the others who sell us bikes for more than $10,000 are taking the piss with their overly exaggerated prices !
The Ibis looks like great value to me at $5999 but wouldn’t like to be the dealer left with stock at the old price.
I weigh 100kg but I ride like I am 200kg. That bike wouldn’t last a month with me. The fork and stem are for xc or light riders with finesse . The trails I ride can best be described as rubble with rock rolls and g outs. Let’s be real, it’s a trail bike.
This is not news to anyone by now.
Not to forget, KTM is $840,000,000 USD in debt.Not to forget, Ducati is famous for moto cross motorcycles……
