Sorry for the delay. I have told everyone they must reply to any enquiry within 1 hour - but they just don't listen or take me seriously !

Well, You already have a de-restricted Giant Fathom E+3. This is a hardtail.

So to answer your own question. Would a Full suspension bike be better for YOU and how YOU ride than the bike you already have ?

For instance, if you ride rocky terrain quickly - the full suspension bike will help you go faster and with less fatigue. If you ride roads, fireroads, tracks and generally flowly trails without hazards and huge drops - then I'm sure you'll have discovered that the bike you have - a hardtail - is more than adequate ?

Hi
Thanks for answer
I ride mix terrains…one day just rocky road,one day just roads (every time done minimum 50km) fathom is good bike.
But… On rocky terrain is not so good.
What will i lose if i change my fathom to fully?
Is with fully more confort on car road? Or is hard to drive?
i know there is no universal bike:)
I just look for more confortable drive.

You would lose money... If that is not an issue, go for it! Much better overall. For 4000 and your current as trade in, you can get something nice.

Buy a full suspension ebike with 140-160mm travel.
That will do everything you want and more.

Also, you will need to budget for a towel, to wipe the grin off your face when you get back from a ride.

Hello

Does on this bike work auto mode?
I see that there is the same problem like has be on phatom.
The auto mode dont works… its just stay on the previous settings before turn on auto mode.

Like that….if i set help on one light and then turn auto mode, the light changes to auto mode but it only work on previous help( light 1)
This problems has ben too on phantom….but aftes months firmware fix thats problem.
