I am looking at trying a mid-power this spring. I like the Spectral On:Fly, Decoy SN or possibly Tempo Power.

Mostly flow trail and small elevation. 59 y/o that has been riding forever.

Cons:
YT seems like good company in US but iffy motor (rode shuttle SL with no issues/enjoyed power output).

Canyon seems questionable in US but fairly dependable motor (rode a Fuel EXe and power was good but battery a little small)

Commencal, no clue as a company (I emailed twice with no response) I like the look of the Tempo best even being Alloy. Rode the Bosch on a Fluid VLT and it is definitely noisy compared to others but more power (if you pedal at higher cadence). Also the most expensive of the 3. But if you like something you will probably ride it more

Any thoughts from actual experience with above companies or bikes.

I can also get a great deal on a Norco Fluid VLT C1 but still more than the DTC.

Thanks for any insight (long winter here and probably over thinking it). I can pretty much do any work on bike so not concerned about upkeep

Are you talking about Commencal here? If so Tempo is the model not the brand. Or another brand of emtb I've never heard of?
