So the good thing about me joining the forum is the last person prior to me is no longer the newest : )

I live in New Jersey, USA. Used to mtb up to about 15 years ago and am now looking to get back on the trails. Thinking the emtb will allow me to have more fun, get in better shape (by riding more) and get to some places I haven't been before.

I'm looking for an emtb now. May end up with a cube 140 or something similar. I know I want like a front 150-160 travel fork and a 150-170 shock travel. I weigh 270lbs now (gained 60lbs due to some health issues and medications ) so I need to take that into account. Just rode 90 mins on trails yesterday and man I felt like I would die lol.

I was in a very similar position only a month or so ago,the bosch gen 4 motor is superb In its 75nm form,i can only imagine its latest 85nm update is even better..rips my big ass uphill and covered 30 miles with lots to spare..13m turbo to 28miles eco remaining,very very impressive...good luck and enjoy
