Thanks for the showcase!!
No problem!
Much appreciate the breakdown.. I can’t decide and won’t have to til the AZ summer heat dies off after September to make my decision transitioning from the gravel road bike
Yeah buddy!! Although emtbs really allow much more hot weather riding. Instead of climbing at 5mph, climb at 12mph with a little less effort and carry way more water.
I'll report back as I put the new Bosch SX bikes through the ringer. That Canyon one looks too good to be true at the moment.
Excited to see where some of these land in the hill climb test!
My first e-Bike will be that new Polygon or the Nebo Peak - very interested to see where that Polygon is priced. Nice job as always!
Great breakdown - love your channel
Much appreciated! Thanks for the comment and hope you stick around for a while. You have an ebike yet or still on the hunt?
@@EMTBReview I have a 2024 Santa Cruz Bullit. The Bullit handles better downhill than any MTB I've owned (have owned 6 MTBS). The weight makes it feel so planted, yet the bike is easy to unweight and jump when needed. Also really loving the MX setup. I also find the EP801 motor quite natural feling and love that it doens't have overrun - makes tight techy trails easy to navigate.
Definitely interested in this category. Orbea rise definitely checks off most of my boxes. Propain SRESH CF is another one that looks great. Just over 45 lbs but with full power shimano ep801 and 626 wh battery.
Yup, Propain!!! I should have the Orbea this month for test
I'm happy with my alloy Trek Fuel EXe. Picked one up for 4800 and bought the extended battery
Great video as always Francis.👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
The SL / mid power game moves on really quickly doesn't it. TQ and possibly Brose could do with updates.
No doubt. The TQ needs more kick and more range.
Brose needs to get in the game
hi, have you had a chance to ride the Focus Jam2 SL?
Still waiting on a Moterra SL review. It blows all of these away, IMO. As an owner, I promise I am unbiased.
I'll seek that out now. I'm hearing great things.
Santa Cruz Heckler SL or Ari Nebo? What would you recommend?
One bike that you missed is the E-Troy Lite. Similar bike, SX motor, mullet, but aluminum frame. Pretty 🤔 ng
Good call! Who makes that bike?
@@EMTBReview Devinci
I’m surprised this didn’t make list also
Are you saying for my next Rise I should get an aluminum because the weight is not much more? m10 21 Rise 160 fork, going to add the cascade link when I get the chance. Can't decide if I should get an LT or a Wild to add to the stable. I definitely ride the Rise hard in chunky cliff side trails enduro style. But I do really like that the Rise is light for hike a bike or playfulness.
My buddies rise gen 1 AL is 50 lbs.
Yeah, definitely get alloy. Usually great value and better spec for an emtb. Weighs 2 lbs more usually but on the first generation Rise, they rode exactly the same.
@@davidgrothen3943 I think he enduro'd the heck out of his AL bike. My Rise alloy weighed in at 41 lbs
@@EMTBReview stock minus a 36 and a x2
Rise isn’t a mullet which is a dealbreaker
I'm 75 on my way to 76, with luck. I've been riding single track since the mid-90's with lots of different bikes. My current ride is a Pivot Trail 429. I need an e-EMTN bike now, though...knees and hips are not what they once were. I am not enduro-focused, obviously, spending fun time playing on my PENNSYLVANIA trails, and would like a bike light enough to lift onto my Thule rear rack. A local dealer in Reading, PA has called to offer me a 2023 demo Orbea Rise M10 with the 540 Wh battery (the larger option for that year). I think this is a good ride for me? Yes, not a mullet, like the new Cannonade Moterra SL is, but it's available NOW. Any thoughts from this community are greatly appreciated!! (Nam guy from 69-71). Thanks.
@chester1167 If you like your Pivot Trail 429, then you should checkout a Pivot Shuttle SL. I own one and love it. They can be built up to weight less than 40lbs. However, one other point is that you mentioned that you want an e-bike that is light enough to lift onto your rack. There are racks with ramps built in or that can be added which allow you to roll it up and into the wheel trays. Also, there are tricks that make it easier to lift a full powered e-bike such as squeezing the rear brake and lifting the front wheel into a tray and then using two hands to lift the back wheel into the tray. I showed that trick to my wife and now she can load and unload her full powered aluminum Norco sight by herself! So if you want a heavy full powered bike then you should be able to get one and still load it baring any physical disabilities. I say that to say that you should get the bike that you want and not worry so much about lifting it.
Devinci E-troy Lite with bosh SX motor any thought?
That looks pretty darn amazing. Rrrad travel and geometry for a mid-powered bike
Hey Francis you think a trek fuel ex e 9.7 for 5200 is a sweet deal, full msrp was 7500.
That's a sweet deal for sure. I'm not high on the Trek Fuel EXe since the motor is a weak and the range is not good compared to the competition now.
But if one doesn't live around steep hills and not riding with faster riders, this can work out well.
The norco fluid vlt is 130-140 for the top model,the other three models are 140-150
Mondraker dune and Mondraker neat
I'll check that out. Wish Mondraker had a bigger presence in the US.
@@EMTBReview they just established their USA headquarters here in the states and I believe they will grow their dealer network. I’ve been in talks with the owner at Woodside bike shop. He’s a Mondraker dealer
Beautiful bikes!
Most builds on the Norco have 140/150 and 64.5 HTA
I see, i see. Good to know.
New Rise is incredible, but I’m not dropping that kind of $$$ on another ebike. If I was buying one I would get the Nebo Peak. Looks awesome, good specs and is affordable.
Yeah, the Nebo is at $5999 is the one. Carbon too and that's why it may be so backordered.
When the Rise aluminum comes out, that will be a good day.
@@EMTBReview just ordered the 6999 build, may or may not pull off some parts to sell and figured gx transmission and Rockshox was in higher demand on the second hand market if I do.
onfly cf7 is 5500 not 4500, maybe in 1/2-1y it will be that
Correct. The text label on the video was wrong
Website weight is 44.76 lbs, so 20.3 kg not 12.8 kg.
Personally for big travel, the Kenevo SL still wins.
I had a Kenevo SL and it was rad. Too rad for my 'medium' trails. The new motor will expand its sweet spot quite a bit. I'll be able to keep up with more bikes up and I can get my shreddin done in a smaller time windeo.
You say a neuron is 5400 but the screen says 4499
Correct. the text label is wrong.
Shimano’s 2 year motor warranty and no-repair policy is terrible. It’s a shame that so many good bikes are using this drive system.
I believe Fazua is the same
@@mikes.8305 yikes, that’s unfortunate.
With the new Orbea Rise out it doesn’t make much sense to buy any other e-bikes with old battery tech.
The Orbea Rise aluminum needs to come out so more folks can attain this bike. The only knock is the motor is still huge so it doesn't have the stealth factor of a Fazua or TQ bike.
Great option though and Orbea has done a fine job with the sequel.
How do you not have
1. Cannondale Moterra SL
2. Propain Sesh.
Shredders that have full power and lighter frames. SMH not even a shout out
I am very happy with kenevo SL comp, original version, it was great sale in my local resseler - just for 4700 Eur. I am a tall guy so 29 inch wheels are welcome :-) It is light ,it is fun for jumps and rockgardens, it is very very capable, big drops... it also has variable geometry and with flip chip you can put 27,5 wheel on the rear if you want. The SL motor is very effective and predictable, so long distance 70-80km rides are easy to plan. I also have that extender, but I am not using it. It si not neccesary for 2-3 hrs rides. Before Kennevo SL a own a big and heavy enduro e-bike (CTM Switch Pro 29+27,5 EP8+630W0h, 160+155mm travel, 26,5kg weight) and longer distances were almost impossible to ride because of progressive eco mode on shimano EP8, when I put some kadence and power to the pedals, the motor also drains the battery very quickly. Kenenvo Sl motor is much les powerfull, but I like it more, it has ver natural feeling, like normal bike (yes noise is there but kadence and assistance is very natural. The EP8 was too powerfull for my taste, I also ride Stumpjumper 2022 and Kona Process 153, so I need just little help from ebike. Sorry for my english I am not a native speaker :-) I think that mid-powered lightweight emtbs are the future of mountain biking.
Excellent, excellent share. Thank you.
