Marin knows what they're doin man, keep us updated on how its handling. I've just got my hands on a rift zone 2

[@RidesWithJake]

It's been great, dad's towing me up no problem, and it's like a monster truck on the descents.

[@marimtb4626]

I understand you are from Australia, when did you bought the bike? I see it was the Shimano Casette on it while mine has a sunrace.. what kind of protection wrap did you put on it?

[@RidesWithJake]

Hi Roan, yes, it came with Shimano SLX cassette, before I buy it I double checked and was told it could come with Shimano SLX or Sunrace. It came with Vee Tires too, but swapped the rear tires now into Maxxis DHRII, I have the Assegais but the front Vee Attack HPL is not too bad and quite similar to the Maxxis Assegai so i'll keep it until after winter.
I use XPEL paint protection film I bought from amazon, I roll is more than enough for the entire bike (video coming up soon), I was able to wrap the entire frame and fork, even the Shimano screen. It involved quite a bit of work but it's so worth it, you can barely see the ppf and it's actually made the bike shinier and more resistant to scratches.

wowww....nice bike....new friend here...

[@RidesWithJake]

Thanks Tatay 😀

[@IADMTB]

Did it come with Cushcore?

[@RidesWithJake]

This colorway (2022) didn’t come with Cushcore, only the 2023 does, the good thing is there’s a lot of cheap used 27.5 Cushcore on Marketplace :)

[@IADMTB]

@@RidesWithJake Gotcha, thanks for the info. I put an order in for the 2023 model. I don’t particularly like the color and preferred the 2022 models color, but I wanted the EP 801 motor. Great job on your videos!

[@RidesWithJake]

@IADMTB Awesome, both bikes are unbelievably awesome, but the 2023 with CushCore and EP801 is such a beast! Congratulations 👍

[@fernandom6811]

Great video & bike ! What’s the weight of this e-bike? Thanks ☺️

[@RidesWithJake]

Thanks, it's around 24.5kg

[@fernandom6811]

@@RidesWithJake thanks mate!! 😊👍🏾
