What do you guys make of this years winners?.
Very interesting to see the Scott ransom eride 920 winning the best enduro bike category. Beating the likes of the yeti 160e which is twice as expensive.

Kenevo is still the best ever

It was nice to see the Levo decimate the competition via the overall win category. I agree.

I'm quite baffled by the bike selection, they've picked a low spec cube model instead of the SLT/action team? Surely if you wanted to find the best trail/enduro you'd compare the best that brand had to offer.

They ask for a bike to test and this is what they're sent, depending what test mules the manufacturer has available. Also lots don't send a bike at all, for various reasons. Hopefully they take price into account in their deliberations.

Looks better in black. There’s ebikes that look far worse.

Six "winners" out of 13 bikes though? Ha. "Trophies for everyone!"

That Heckler looks lovely but at £14k not that lovely

Hecklers do look sick

I don't like the spec/component options though, and they don't offer a frame-only option. Otherwise it would have been at or near the top of my list.

 

[VWsurfbum]

I think more companies need to do frame only options. Only Spesh i believe in the UK?

I see the similarities but at least the motor and down tube are a lot smaller on the Scott.
Man this thing is ugly.

That's pretty rich coming from someone who rides something that looks like this:

No offense intended but I thought it would put things in perspective!

Are you guys friends? Cause friends don't let friends have Purple accents. Just Kidding! No I'm not.

Without watching the review. Can you guess what bike during the test that needed to have a motor change?
