    Dude, moments like at 15:45 are probably the most stress-inducing when I watch trail vids. Rocky terrain, big gaps, frantic corners... None of it beats the mental image of the handlebars instantly wedging between a couple of trees at 25+ mph. That said, it's always a good time watching people on bikes run the sketchiest routes. 🤘

    Man.. i went with the Orbea Wild because I thought maybe the Levo wasnt aggressive enough and couldnt handle parks.. but man.. it seemed to eat it up pretty good.

    • @ddangerousddave
      @ddangerousddave  Před 15 dny +3

      To be honest, I thought the exact same thing. The Levo wasn't on my radar because I wanted a 170/170 ebike, but I couldn't resist trying it when IMBY got their demo fleet. I got about four rides in before I had to return it and was very impressed. It was super easy to get along with and I felt comfy riding double black trails from the get go. For reference, this was my second ride on the Levo and I was riding new trails and following a very fast rider. It definitely rode its way onto the short list of full power ebikes for me. I would still consider putting on a 170 fork and Cascade link on if I bought one, but the stock 160/150 did much better than expected even with little-to-no time spent setting it up.

      @@ddangerousddaveAmen to that 🙏 I couldn’t agree more!! 😉 Definitely one of the best, or even the best, full power ebike on the market!! Balanced and easy to ride!! Had a Gen2 and now a Gen3 (all the geometry adjustment is awesome) and I wouldn’t risk to make a switch to another bike 👍 Keep enjoying it till you can!! 😄

    I’m not so much, a fan of sitting and watching the bikes, although I know they have their place, but truly, I couldn’t tell you were on the bikes, most of the time every now and again, when you get a pedal stroke and I could hear the wind of the motor, but I just tried to ignore it. Just watch the incredible riding!

      I have one. My only bitch is that a bike that expensive should come with better brakes. Comes with SRAM Code brakes. 1st thing I did was swap out with Shimanos, tried and true.
