OK, I'll bite.

Sabre Tooth Tigers aren't as long in the tooth as the Bosch motor. It's noisy, draggy and has a serious design flaw. Yes, the warranty is good, but Bosch deserve the same panning that Spesh are getting over the 2019 Levo.

The Brose motor is quieter, lighter, more powerful and disengages when not in use. PLUS German engineering...
