Interested in your insight on long travel ebikes. I have a couple in mind but open to other suggestions. I want a bike that does the gnar no problem but riding average trails isn’t seriously uncomfortable. I was sold on the Specialized until I couldn’t find one and started looking for other options. Now I am thinking I should hone in on the bike I want and just order it and wait.

No particular order of interested here. The price on the Meta is pretty intriguing.
1. Santa Cruz Bullit XT coil $10,500
2. Specialized Kenevo $9000
3. Commencal Meta $7000

Thanks for your opinions.

Personally I think unless you live in an alpine area 150mm is plenty, 180mm travel would be just like tarmacing all the trails, I prefer to feel involved in the ride not insulated from it.

How about the Haibike XDURO Nduro 5.0? Does anyone know if you can get a hold of one in the USA?

You probably stick to mostly groomed mtn bike trails. I do a lot of exploring, and off the beaten path stuff
