Whats the best full power, Full 29'er on the market today ??

[E Bob]

yes, you either love the mullet or you hate it. if you don't ride so much enduro/downhill but more trail cycling, I understand that you might feel that it is too much bike for what you are riding

Cant say i hated the mullet, iv had two, But for me the 29's more stable at speed, Also not so flighty with quick steering inputs, I Ride Everything, Live next to cwmcarn, up there 3 times a week, BPW, Black mountain... So my bikes get rode..

That Crestline sure looks nice
I've had a few Levos and switched to a Rocky Mt Instinct a year ago. The dyname motor is the best I've ever ridden

I'm on a Voima. It is a monster In the big chunk. It's like a dh bike with a motor.
On the normal stuff it's no better than my mates rails,levos. At some point if flat twistyness its a bit wirse being so long travel, long wb and slack. But as soon as it gets wild.... see ya later suckers.

As a Voima owner, I have to agree! Just a shame mine came so late in the season, so I didn't get to ride more DH during the summer. Snow and - Temps here now :-(

Orbea Wild gets my vote . I don’t think I’ll ever to push this bike to its full capabilities.
( get all the suspension upgrades)

Think there is no such thing as best bike. The bikes I have I made some changes to make them more to my preferences. Sometimes this means changing the whole group set, wheels, brakes, suspension etc...

What I have learned in al those years. You can have the best bike. But I'm still lacking my skills

Have an:
- Canyon Spectral ON CFR LTD - RockShox Flight Attendant, SRAM XX AXS Transmission, DT carbon wheels, Shimano XTR brakes, AXS 170mm dropper etc.
- Canyon Torque ON CF (customized) - SRAM XX AXS Transmission - Ohlins TTX22m2 coil, AXS dropper, Shimano XTR brakes, AXS 170mm dropper, DT carbon wheels

Being on my 4th EMTB in two years:
IMO the best FF bike if buying new . . . is from one of the top 3. Giant not so much, good looking, but due to their crappy warranty and frame issues off my future list for now. Also which ever of the top 3 is within a decent range to your home for buying and warranty purposes over the next few years.

Buying used . . . Picking one of the top 3 a year or two old, low mileage and for around 1/2 price (along with a transferrable warranty). And again having a decent travel time to a shop that services that brand.

I also prefer the Bosch brand motor over an internal belt driven motor like the Brose. I'm not interested in changing a motor 2 or 3 times under warranty or not. I did like the power of the Yamaha motor on my Giant (28 mph) aside from it being overly rattly and noisy in certain assist levels.

* of the top 3 brands this forum heavily leans to the Specialized brand . . . so take that into account from the various opinions. Current forum stats under manufacturer specific on these forums: Giant = 17k messages, Specialized = 96k messages, Trek 20k messages. Or maybe Specialized owners are just more talkative

Very Happy with my choice, This thing eats all the rough, But still corners like a short travel bike.

@Levo19 Are you a simple wild beast or an human ?

 

[TheSnowShark]

It would be the best thing for you.. but I'm sad..

 

[TheSnowShark]

I think the mass is said.. we'll move on to something else..

 

[B1rdie]

Tears roll down everytime I see such a happy ending…,
To a fairy tale
All wankers applouse now!

 

[Zimmerframe]

You have a few days away due to no electric or mobile and seemingly miss all the fun ..

Was there a particularly unpopular bike suggestion ??
