What was that bike?

[miPbiP]

In one of the videos there was a shot of a bike with 427mm chainstays and 29 wheels both ends. From one of the mid-level manufacturers I think. Was a glossy blue/green colour and sexy as hell.

Anyone know what it was please?

Ta.

What video?

427mm is very short, you need some extra out back for climbing.

 

[miPbiP]

not sure what video have watched many.

short CS on both my bio bikes - works well for me, climbs not a problem.

 

[Jamsxr]

No doubt, but the stuff you climb on an emtb will likely be far steeper/more extreme and you will be doing more of it. The power from the motor means you can struggle for traction up the steep stuff and the front will lift. Short CS on an eBike is around 440.

 

[miPbiP]

good POV. Rode my mate's Canyon Spectral:ON (430mm) up some steeps no trouble, but you're right an e-mtb changes route options, it's one of the benefits.

 

[miPbiP]

anyway I'll post the bike if I find it - it was a looker.

Rocky Mountain? That has short stays.

 

[miPbiP]

Pretty sure you may be thinking of the new Bosch focus jam² that has 427mm chain stays. Not sure about the colour though. Unless you're mixing it with the Thron announced at the same time.

Focus Bikes - JAM² 6.8 NINE

 

[miPbiP]

nope that's not it!

New Focus Jam with the Bosch motor?

 

[miPbiP]

no it was green/blue and more curvy and sexy than that.

no biggie I'll find it.

Going by the colour...the new Merida? Doesn't match up with the other stats you said though.
THE NEW eONE-SIXTY - MERIDA BIKES

 

[miPbiP]

Nope. That looks pretty sweet though.

I recall it was an soon to be released bike from one of the smaller-mid brands.

could be any one of dozens.

 

[miPbiP]

no matter folks, it'll turn up in due course.

 

[Adam]

One of Rob's videos? Or possibly someone else's?

 

[miPbiP]

dno, on reflection it may have been an embn when the Welsh guy was talking about real wheel sizes and chainstay effects. so I'm going to check those!

 

[R120]

The Focus was the bike discussed on EMBN

 

[miPbiP]

Perhaps - I think it wasn't any of the bikes on the Focus site now. Perhaps a prototype or 2020. Would you have a link to the video pls?
