- čas přidán 20. 05. 2024
- Hot on the heels of Fezzari Bicycle’s re-branding effort, the new Ari Nebo Peak follows up the left, right jab with a solid uppercut to the eMTB market. Ari Bicycles, formerly Fezzari, sent us their new SL, lighweight Nebo Peak for some filming and initial ride time to help make this Dissected Feature possible. Built out of a fully integrated carbon fiber frame with 140mm of rear wheel travel and 150mm up front, the Fazua Ride 60-equipped Ari Nebo Peak looks like it will be a real contender for those in the market for a mid-assist eBike. Let’s dive into the Nebo Peak and hear from the Ari Bicycles team on how the development and testing process went down.
As with all of our Dissected Features, this is not intended to be a long term review or endorsement of a product but is instead a chance for our viewers and readers to get a deep dive look into some of the newest tech and products in the mountain bike space. We thank Ari Bicycles for the opportunity to create this feature and getting you some valuable beta on this impressive new eMTB.

Not sure about the rebranding, but I’m rooting for the company and will be doing a deep dive when I’m ready for eMTB.
YESSSSS! no thru-the-headset routing!!!!
This bike looks awesome!!!
That is by far the best looking bike they have ever made. I’m not saying their bikes are hideous, but there are definitely more attractive bikes on the market.
I like the rebrand personally
They should name the next model the ARI FEZZ!!!!!
😂
@MikeesTexas Bro… I can’t believe I came across you on CZcams lol im the dude with the ripley from the Sedona MTB festival last year that was parked next to you 😂😂 hope you doing good brotha. Finally got myself a ripmo too and haven’t looked back since 🤘🏼
Awesome!!! Glad to hear you are still riding! i’ll be trying to make it to sedona 2025. I’m still riding my ripley/ saving up for a Ripmo🤘
This rebranding is great. I hated Fezzari name and how many of their older bikes looked. This one looks fantastic.
I've always felt like Fezzari sounded like the GTA off-brand version of Ferrari lol. I'm not sure how I feel about the name Ari though.
@@whitest_kyle fezzari makes think of Walmart bikes. Ari alone is okay. But with nice color ways I thought it is an growing European brand.
@youling1997 yeah, they just used the last three letters of the word Fezzari brilliant, and creative!
Nicely done on this bike review my friend. This company inspires me. I love the fact they are rebranding and not pulling out. Moving forward is motivational. Seeing the new bikes they are coming out with makes it even funner as well. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and keep us posted. I would like to try the fat bike for hunting and fishing trips, I think It would open up some new places and the old sandy roads, the fat tires should make it so much easier. Thanks again and have a blessed week.
Dale
Thanks very much Dale! You too
Very good introduction to the bike! Thanks. Looking forward to your full review.
Thanks for watching!
I really like these emtbs and the price points are great too good job to ARI
Breakups are hard on everyone. So long Fezz...we hardly knew ya.
How does Ari Nebo Peak compare with Transition Relay?
I was thinking the same since I need to get another bike since I can fly my Rise. Lightweight removable battery bikes are few and far between. Definitely a first world problem but traveling to Peru, Spain/Italy/Swiss has me having to totally rethink how I am going to pull it off. Even started thinking I should go back to a Canfield Lithium (for travel) and get an analog because travel with ebikes is such a hassle
Hot track
Sweet! Fazzari's rebrand is looking pretty cool too. I hope we start to see more e-bikes with lower travel. Am I the only person who would love a 120 or 130mm travel eBike? That's what I'd love to see in the e-bike space!
And longer travel, may as well have a dual crown if I'm already well past 50lbs. Pole is the only company I can think of that offers this. Hard to say how well either would sell though
So many brands are dual crown factory or ready. Kenevo, decoy, oso, timp peak, hybike, crestline
Fezzari maybe looked and sounded a bit to much like Ferrari, just a thought
@Theloamwolf @theloamwolf thank you so much for all the time and effort you spend in sharing these reviews, they are extremely helpful to the public. Any thoughts or insights to share between the Nebo and Relay for trails in Arkansas/Midwest Region?
Hey thanks so much Jason. We appreciate that. Honestly we love the Relay, but it's definitely a bike that thrives on the steeps, big features and being ridden fast. It is still a lot of fun on general trails but we think the Nebo could be a more well-rounded option for you in that region! Maybe upforking it for some burlier terrain like Leatherwood(?) could be useful if you find yourself riding that stuff and feel undergunned. We've really been enjoying the Nebo so far though, and it's a good value.
@@TheLoamWolfso helpful!! Thank you very much for the info!
This is suppose to be MX capable but nothing was mentioned.
Don’t care what the name is, if the product smashes who gives a crap. Just got rid of my bronson for a timp peak and I giggled up the hill and all the way down loving life. Haven’t done that in a long time.
Awesome to hear and we kind of agree with you there!!
Interested in your impressions of the Nebo vs Heckler SL. Really like the weight. Appreciate your reviews!
I own a Heckler SL, but if I was buying today, I would either get this or the updated Norco Fluid VLT instead. Much better value and I prefer a Horst link over vpp after riding a couple Santa Cruz bikes. I bought the base model and it’s such a terrible spec (upgraded nearly everything) in comparison.
We would also go with Horst over VPP, this bike seems to check a lot of boxes for us but we’ve not yet ridden the new Norco.
Looking forward to your Norco dissected video!
Like the bike but do prefer the Fezzari name.
Interesting thanks for sharing!
A request here. Can you guys put the weight of these bikes also in KG's. Almost every channel does it now, handy!
We will include that in future videos. Thanks for reminding us!
Just divided it by 2.2
@@snat6299 yeah easy, 41 divided by 2.2 definetely is.... something under 20 lol
How does the motor compare to the TQ on the Fuel EXe in terms of performance and noise?
More power and similar noise in this particular bike. We have heard other Fazua units that are slightly more noise than TQ. But pretty close on noise, definitely more power.
How do you compare the ARI to the Pivot Shuttle SL that also uses the Fazua 60?
This bike is a little bit more forgiving and capable on the descents. The ShuttleSL is rad but we’d put it a bit more on the XC side of things. Which could make it ideal for you depending on your intentions.
Nice bike but they should of kept the name
It’ll be interesting to see how the public responds. Our crew is mixed as some didn’t mind the old name.
@@TheLoamWolf What’s the story, why the name change? Personally I wasn’t a big fan of the original… and am even less of a fan of the new one 😂
Yup both names are pretty bad
@@TheLoamWolf maybe you should talk to them and tell tell them to switch back to the original name because ARI is not it lol
Fezzari was a weird name. Was it a Ferrari? Was it italian? Ari is odd but so is Scor or even Scott. Scott who? Definitely think they can build on Ari more easily
I don’t mind ARI however the new color schemes for the la Sal peak I can’t live with.
So Fez sold his shares lol
😂
I liked Fezzari. Had no issues with their old name. I think Ariz Bikes would have been cool. Oh, and find a Canadian distributer. Preferably on the west coast, thank you 😎
I guess i missed it when did you say what the travel was?
It's a 140 / 150 bike, 0:10ish.
Just googled the company. Given they are in Utah, that would be a bike brand name that would interest me. Slickrock even. But at the end of the day it will be about the bikes. Lets ride!!!!
I know they're different but if Drew had to pick what to ride between the Nebo and the Timp what would you pick?
That is a really tough call… if I only picked one, probably Timp because I want more travel. If the Nebo was a 150/160mm it would be even tougher. If you don’t need big travel, Nebo is a ton of fun.
@@TheLoamWolf I am sure people will be longstroking this thing (150/160 at least)? I can imagine it now that my boys in St George will do it for the tech chunk.
Why not just make it 150mm of travel in the back? Any frame only options like there other ebike?
We'll have to ask to find out, 140 works pretty good for its intended application though. At the time of filming, there were only 3 complete builds mentioned, but i did just check their site and they do have a frame + shock only option. It is pretty spendy though, i reckon going with the Comp build and selling / upgrading certain parts to be a financially wiser decision.
Where in Bend is this Trail system?
Out east of Bend.
You mention the weight for the top spec build, but what about the other build levels? Their website doesn't list a weight for any of them.
Not sure what those weights are as we dont have any lower end builds to weight ourselves. We would likely guess a difference of about 3 pounds or so on the lowest build kit, which is still better spec'd than other companies entry builds.
Is there a range extender available?
The Nebo is compatible with the 210Wh Fazua range extender. The range extender availability is fall 2024.
I’m interested in the DH bike. But, what they offer is great compared to outrageously overpriced pivot.
Drew, looks good. I would prefer it if it was 160/150 travel and 64 degrees. Drew are you going to review the new Norco Fluid ebike with the bosch SX motor, it's looks very good!
We wouldn’t be upset with that setup either!! And if such a bike were in our possession, yes.
@@TheLoamWolf drew it's already on their website!
Stay tuned for the video!!
From what I hear, the motor sound and rattle are similar to the CX full fat motor. Quietness is usually one of the benefits of lower power motors. That's the only thing keeping me off a Norco.
The motor has been problematic. Any information on How many and what problems have been fixed since the motors release? basically just wondering How reliable the motor is?
From what we’ve been told (not by Ari ) FAZUA has been continuously working on updates and improvements and problems have been lessoning quite a bit. We don’t exactly know where they sit right now, but we’ll have that info by the time we drop this review. We know over a dozen people with these units and it seems 2 have had issues.
Where are you riding E-bikes in Central OR?
I’m curious too. I only know madras allow e-bike. But this looks like bend
Horse Ridge. The BLM is also currently looking for emtb fans to write in and let them know to officially add these trails to their e friendly network as they’re in a grey zone right now.
It is amazing how e-bikes went from “getting people who need some pedalling assistance” into the sport to top selling segment in the industry. The turn-off for me is the proprietary systems, the insane weights and the crazy amount of suspension that 90% of riders will never need.
Why wouldn’t riders want a crazy amount of suspension?
@@topchoice1621 because it adds weight to the bike. Because for most riders the terrain they can handle does not require 160/150 mm of travel.
@@tombeck129 how do you know that the terrain most people ride doesn’t require that much travel tho and want to have the bike to be able to do so
@@topchoice1621 oh just a wild guess. 🙄 Maybe the industry should build all bikes with 160/150mm travel because everyone needs that. 😂
Love the channel!! Long time follower. However, I can't tell you how little these ebikes move my interest needle. I've skipped all of these vids and looking forward to the end.. No disrespect intended. Just honest feedback. Keep up the good work!
Hey thanks so much for the feedback and we appreciate you sharing your opinion and thoughts on the topic. If we get enough interest maybe we’ll consider an alternate channel for e and non E stuff.
Name the new back "Zona". Boost sales for all the Arizonans who'd feel compelled to buy one.
Haha it would have to be the Zona Peak
Like the rebranding. Really like the bike. Very promising! No mention on range, power output, overall feel. Come on now.😵💫
All those details will be in our long term review when we have sufficient time in the bike to give some good detail. That said, the Fazua Ride 60 in this bike feels like other Fazua equipped bikes in terms of range and power, so if you’ve ridden one of those you’ll have similar experience.
Never tried this system . I currently have a 2020 levo sl. Nice bike . Light, nimble but lacks punch for real serious climbing. A Big contrast to my Canyon Grail on which packs a serious punch! Obviously very different motor systems. Would love to try this one. Looks very promising. Compact design with more power! All while maintaining a respectable weight.
It’ll be about twice the power of the Levo SL then! And more range as well.
Nice bike. Wishing for local shop support, especially if motor needs warranty claim. I don't want to ship bike just to let Ari look at it.
Being direct-to-consumer is how they achieve the better value frames. For motor service, any shop that works on fazua will work on it and Ari will reimburse the cost. Much cheaper than shipping and more convenient for both parties.
@@haydenrouse4907 I don't know if it would be so easy. Sometimes motors can have repeated warranty claims, and it all becomes a headache for the shop. If it's your shops brand, they're stuck with dealing with it. Not so much if they're just a third party.
No bash protection ftl, I wish you guys would cover that on e bikes.
Any of us that ride in the desert know how big of a deal this is, I have broken 6+ bash plates on my Rise. Now I am 3d printing them to keep up. I looked at a Relay today the shape and the second half of the motor is exposed. That will not fly in Vegas.
Still don't get the point of these light ebikes. 41lbs is still heavy! My full power 750wh Orbea Wild with Coil and is 50lbs. Sub 35lbs would be worth it, but tech is not there yet.
From the mention of a coil, I'm guessing you like chunky dh stuff and the motor is there to drive you to the top as many times as possible. You may also be larger and stronger than a lot of riders. Imagine if you were a 135lb women who primarily rides xc or light trail, a 41lb shorter travel bike would be a lot more pleasant to ride than a 50lb LT bike.
Thank you and great point Tony. The beauty of options is that there’s something for everyone!
Ari Nebo vs. Pikachu
They changed the name bc it sounds too much like Ferrari. Now it sounds too much like Atari. 🤷🏽♂️. 🤦🏽♂️
I'm not sure that either brand name excites me so can move forward with whatever (I wasn't aware of the previous brand name anyway) . For me, the paint scheme on this one replicates Orbea paint scheme and I don't like it on Orbea either. I accept your go to language is around pounds and other non metric talk but just wondering if you might be able to super impose metic equivalent over you talking for metric users - you have quoted metric geometry specs. thanks!!
Thanks for the note and we will work on adding weight in kilos for our other viewers. Appreciate the comment
They should have name it Atari.
UnItEd StAtEs, Liberia, Burma/Myanmar aka 5% or world population use pounds. Plz add kilograms
I like ARI better than FEZZARI, but it's still not a great name.
No range extender yet. less real power than the Rise for instance and a non removable battery????. Seems pretty lame to me. New name-big wow... High prices, considering the lack of dealer network
This is a consumer direct model, so no dealers to further raise prices!
@@tombeck129 Yes, I see that-however, if -when -the Fazua malfunctions, where does a customer go to secure replacement/service? I spoke w Fezzari a few weeks ago about a different bike and it seemed as if the 'service centers' were pretty scarce even in L.A. Genuinely interested if that is not the case...
@@britishbassbikes you are right about that. With direct to consumer models, servicing the bike falls on local bike shops that may or may not carry parts. This is definitely a problem. I generally service my own bikes (I do have a lot of experience and the tools), but for many this would be a deal breaker indeed.
@@britishbassbikes If their service centers a rare in LA, they're non-existent in smaller markets.
The new name is so much better. No longer embarrassing
why was it embarassing?
@@hannes6114 because it sounded like a cheap knock off. Like a phony crap brand you would get from China. It's like driving a new Lamborjeaney or wearing the Nikne Air Sport Ones all the kids love. Their bikes have been great for a long time. The name shouldn't have mattered, but it did. I hope more people look at their bikes now and they sell a ton.
Non competitive in Enduros sorry! These motors are 30% less power and battery life. No tx! 90% of ebikes are full power so riding with someone on a SL will be slow and short.
Most people in the US riding ebikes are not riding enduro style. Most are riding XC and light trail.
@@tonyrobinson1623 huh? You're wacky. This conversation isnt about riding gravel, road or xc trails anyway. We're talking about SL emtbs and theyre not made for xc or light trail. Theyre gravity bikes made for mostly going through gnarly trail.
ASTROTURFING IN FULL EFFECT
Yet another ebike my wife can't ride because even their small bike is too big. I wish manufacturers would realize they are missing out on sales because they don't offer bikes for people on the far end of the spectrum of height. So far the Transition Relay is the only possible option. And even they are less than helpful on providing even an estimated standover height.
