Thank you!
you got featured in a Daily Does of Internet video!!!! It's the clip of you hitting those crazy drops in the pitch black with just a headlight!
Man, I think you should mix in some Pro points, especially on specific skills. You've done a few points in the past but I think this format in your backyard is more relaxed. Things like bike set up and why, cornering, setting up for jumps, and drops, etc.
I tried customising a new e-bike from that link in Safari and Chrome on my iPhone, but the website keeps crashing. You should it Propain up. They got a coding issue.
Great review, ignore the idiots👍
does this mean Cube Stereo 170 sux? 😅
LOL, so much hate for the ebike in some of the comments??? What about the 99.9% of us who can't go to Whistler or jump on our MX bike? As a dad of 3 kids, wife to keep happy and 2 jobs, ebikes are literally a time machine. 2 hours night ride a couple of times a week is more than I could ride in a whole weekend on a traditional bike. Let's try and be a bit more open minded... however, don't get me started on Surrons riding up the DH trails :(
That’s the best argument I’ve heard so far. That E-bikes allow you to get more laps in set period of time. I just bought my first bike after having to rent for years. It’s a solid full suspension trail bike that I’ll have for the next 5 years or so. This got me thinking of upgrade time and what I’ll go to next. I keep thinking E-bikes will have more downsides, but after this and other reviews I’ve seen/read it appears it does just as well or better than a standard bike. I thought the weight would take from the fun, but even pro’s like Remy seem to have a good time and watching the footage its a proper mountain bike experience. I can see myself being the old man and sticking with no motor power for gravity sports, maybe upgrade to carbon, but E-bikes may be an option. It’s not just that technology allows us to access more power, it’s how we channel it, and even at this stage E-bikes seem to do it well. “Assist” not motor power, with a little extra weight, but weighted down low. It’ll be interesting to see where it goes and hopefully trails won’t be full E-bike, but I suspect cost and who knows even Lithium supply will be limiting factor. Either way it’s a recreational activity for me so I’m going full fun factor. If that’s a new carbon bike that is an upgrade to me then cool. If it’s a new E-bike that are becoming popular and let’s more people enjoy the trails, respectfully, then that’s cool too
Amen
As someone with no family commitments or disabilities I just fucking like e-bikes better
Live and let live. I love all riding. I pedal, shuttle and ride lifts. Today will be another pedal day for me and I hope to pedal for a long time. When I can afford one, I will also own an e-bike.
@canieto1 yeah you must be unfit so 😊
I love my ebike, I get to have more fun riding everywhere! More down hilling makes me happy. I do get tired of all the stupid comments from friends. Just remember is says more about them than it says about the bike. I see you having fun when you ride and that's what it's all about for me too. Cheers!
I'm definitely open to getting an e-bike, however I am going to wait until Pinion's integrated MGU (motor gearbox unit) is widely available first. Then we can do away with archaic derailleur tech and have a more durable system with lower unspring mass in the rear.
Don’t wait, life moves fast. By the time they get through the teething process with integrated technology 5 years of your life has passed by
@@anthony9600 I'm in no rush to get one my dude.
@@c0nsci0usnesshe's in the 'fear of missing out' camp 🤷🏿♂️
Looks amazing - interesting to hear how you add the e-bike to your weekly training. I need a bike garage and more bikes now
Such a good video and such a kind guy to reply to every single comment. So much effort in this. Thank you for the amazing videos you always deliver Remy! ❤
So nice of you
I love how many options they offer for their bikes options. I have seen great reviews for ekano 2. Glad you are making use of it. I love riding my Bullit and allows me to explore new trails that I wouldn’t get to on my regular enduro bike. Most haters have not owned an ebike.
The trail network is looking amazing! Great work! Love the drop setup and never would've guessed that creek terrain was on the property.
Recently I also bought an ebike to increase my mileage and train myself. It is good especially when I cant go to a park like off-season. I have denied its efficiency, but year later regretted it. It is saving my time and energy, and helping me take out my bike of my house without hesitance.
Great review! e-bikes have come a long way and will evolve substantially in the next few years. I ride both acoustic and e-bikes and love them both. Great to see you putting them through the paces.
you own an acoustic.. nice, for how many years you play that guitar? 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
I’ve learned a lot from your videos, especially the way you teach about riding techniques.
You had just switched to Propain when I first saw your videos. I was looking for my first full suspension bike & I ended up purchasing the previous Gen Tyee 29er.
The Tyee is a great bike but I hope to try a Spindrift Mx, new Gen Tyee Mx or a Commencal SX.
Thanks for your videos.
Great to hear!
I ordered my first E MTB it arrives Saturday can't wait!
Been riding my YT Decoy for almost 4 years. Also have a Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay. Climbing is now fun. Never going back. I'm also fitter now as I ride more often. Heart rate is 150 - 160 when climbing, which is perfect for me to stay in shape and not be exhausted when reach the top for the fun stuff.
Awesome looking bike. Great review.
Sweet bike! E bikes have there place i probably will be riding one when I get old.
Love your videos. They are my favorite to watch when I ride the trainer. 🤘
Right on! pedal hard!
You think they're for "old" people ? LoL ........ so you're an XC rider ?
Me, 23 with my spectral on 😂
Quality video! Well thought out and put together!
So good to hear how you use the ebike as a training tool and continue to push yourself to improve. Such a sweet looking rig 🤘
So overlooked, underrated. It’s not just a lazy toy.
This video is a commercial, and he is paid by them. Just the video title tell you how biased it all is. A little enlightenment doesn't hurt nobody.
@@a8f235 thank you for clarifying the obvious. Yes he is sponsored, yes he has contractual obligations and yes this is how he draws an income. What he doesn't deserve is all the negative flack from posting a video about an ebike and explaining how he uses it to compliment his training.
@@yages So many words to fake an understanding of something, only to end it by showing you did not. Well I'll say.
I'm only responsible for finding my own answers in life, so spend any amount of time you wish in order to make sure you understand it the second time.
PS: There are no good excuses in life, simply none.
@@a8f235 😂
Great stuff. I searched this video out after seeing you having to justify it to the pinkbike schoolchildren.
Love my ebike for fun riding. Not interested in training or riding non ebikes these days.
Great Content Remy!!
An e-bike is an incredible addition to anyone’s quiver! For me it’s my “third” bike, but I ride it just as much as my trail bike. I work a very physical job, and typically only road my bikes on the weekend. Adding an e-bike has got me out for extra evening rides after work, exceeding 1000m vert, and still able to go to work strong the next day. So this means I’ll get two of three times as much riding in during the year…… why people are so down on these tools is beyond me
Thanks for the video🤘🏻
i really wish to see you more often on your Ekano , especially in the trails I build in Squamish, half of your review was in Hueso wich I build ;) . please edit more videos on your Ekano its pretty cool to see what a pedal assist can do. and it might convince some of my friends to get one ( they all think its to heavy ) but they had never try one!!! great job Remy
I've tried many.. and they are indeed heavy; also felt and react differently on the trail than my usual big bike. As soon as the prices go down, I will own one but, not until they become cheaper than actual motor bikes... because, for the money of a regular bike and an e-bike, I can have a regular bike and a motorcycle.. basically, doing two completely different things instead of two very similar ones.
Dude Hueso is my favorite trail in Squamish. I live right by it too. Great build man!
@@scotthiebert4979 thanks bud !!!
Greatings from Chile!! Come to "Cordillera de los Andes!" to proove the sport potencial of my beloved country!!
Nice review! I own an Ekano 2 AL and I love it
Welcome to the e-party =) I love my ebike because I am very light (60kg) and it gives me so much more grip on the trails.
I have an EMTB and a hardtail and I enjoy the heck out of both. Ebike is obviously funner going uphill but the hardtail is funner going downhill. So much lighter and easier to control, but ebike you can ride longer without getting tired.
Great video! You always deliver :)
Thanks again!
Thanks for supporting E-Bikes. Getting older and and also having bad knees, E-bikes have allowed me to continue enjoying cycling. Unfortunately here in Michigan (USA), E-bikes are not allowed on most Mountain Bike Trails and I am reduced to riding in town on the streets and Urban Trails. Hopefully with E-bikes becoming more Popular things will change.
Right on!
leave Michigan is the answer. There's zero reason to ban eBikes from trails. That's really disappointing for you. They bring a whole dimension to riding, not just an easy 'uplift' facility
Nice review Remi. Just a shame in Australia I can't order and support you through the link. Keep excelling- love watching you ride.
Maybe one day!
Have you reached out to Propain? They may have a solution?
Breaks my heart watching biking riding had my bike stole July this year heart broken but those Propains looks sick 🙌
Sorry to hear that
@@remymetailler Thanks bro appreciate that, had saved for 3years but I love MTBing so imma start saving again 🙌
I love my e-bike, being able to hit jumps uphill is amazing😂 find myself on it more than my analog bike
I can't believe it's been 3 years since you switched sponsors from Cube to Propain.
Time flies!
I really like this video! You've come a long way man.
Ive seen some other videos across YT and people have been dropping your name.
Edit: Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
Time flies
Remy keep doing ur thing bro 👊🏾 these trolls on CZcams just live a miserable life and misery likes company...don't pay them mind.... I'm fascinated with ebikes and I just bought one (propain ekano 2 al)and im excited to get delivery...
Keep at it bro 👊🏾
I love what you do!
Thinking about SL ebike to help with my asthma on the trails. Less stopping to catch mybreath means more fun lol
Great video Remy.
I recently got a Turbo Kenevo, it's sick. Perfect for some trail areas, especially those with brutal FS road climbs. Often faster than shuttling. The new Propain looks like a great bike.
Very nice!
Hello everyone !
I just ordered my Propain Spindrift 4 AL, with Rockshox Super Deluxe Ultimate RCT, using your link 😊🎉
Thank you Remy ! 🙏
Thank you!
I love my ebike. I have no injuries, an in shape, ride my normal bike all the time, and ride my ebike when i want more downhill to help level up. True shredders have an ebike in their quiver
Wish i had one. Sick bike Remy!
I love traditional mountain bikes, but I have to admit that the new Ekano from propain is quite sick
I love both types and ride both types. N+1
I have both and only pedal if the ebike is broken. 🚵♀️ 💨 💨
Remy you'r a amazing rider. You'r bike is a seamless extension of your body. I did not know about Propain. I just bought 2 Full EMTB (Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC Actionteam 750 and one Full EMTB Orbea Wild. I'm more explorer type of rider and like to climb. I will refer to your affiliated link for new EMTB acquisition. This bike look great. Thanks for this review.
Thank you I appreciate that a lot!
What an amazing review and the clips were in this video was just amazing also The hills and the amount of laps you can do Saves you a lot of money buying uplift passes but the downside is you have to buy any bike which are very expensive but it’s worth it in the long run
Glad you like them!
@@remymetailler You’re welcome
Its about time propain brings a good ebike cf version🎉
Great video.. bike looks killer. Question: what camera and mount are you using for your pov riding videos? looks like a helmet mount looking down? 360 camera or?
The riding footage was so awesome I cant remember anything you said about the bike.
Great video!
E-bikes are here to stay and a blast to ride! I love mine❤I have been riding for years and health reasons drove me to getting a e-bike so I could continue riding. I think you did a great video for why e-bikes have a place in MTB
I have two kids and I love my santa cruz Heckler SL AXO to go riding when I can!
Great video. Curious, what stand is that you’re using for the new bike? Looks like it sits under the chainstay?
It is a Topeak stand
Really cool video I really enjoyed it!!!👍😎🤘
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video and thanks for the run down. Any reason you didn’t go for the reverb axs dropper? It would seem a logical option with all the other asx stuff and one less cable. Also do you use the autoshift and coastshift funciona or do you use full manual gear setup?
Thanks again.
i use the One Up dropper. I love it and how I can use it as a 170,160 or 180
My buddy has a e-bike. Gets so much seat time and saving energy. It’s like you’re at the bike park. I’ll get one when I am Remys Age lmao
Can you talk about pros and cons of coil vs air shocks? Thanks. I looked at this bike but still wary of SRAM/Brose motor reliability (supposedly it's better now but still belt driven I believe). I went Crestline with Bosch race motor (yes I know it's noisier)
Keep Going, nice to see EMTBs shredding 🤪👍
Love your videos and riding style. That new Propain Ekano CF with the Sram/Brose auto-shift is sick! Looking forward to more videos of you riding it. Ignore the ebike haters. You'll never get rid of them. Do you and ride whatever bike you want. I only have one bike and it's an e-MTB. I've progressed a lot faster because of it. And I ride it on my local trails and at bike parks like Northstar. It can do it all. The crew that I ride with are all on e-MTBs. It allows us to be at the same pace going uphill no matter the fitness level or age.
A bit sad reading the number of people unsubscribing after putting so much work on videos. Oh well. Too bad they ll miss all the content on regular bikes.
@@remymetailler It's all good, you'll just get new and more subscribers anyway. And true loyal Remy fans will stay and not care which bike you ride. Looking forward to your next videos. 🤘🤘
@@Flex-JitsuYes, exactly
It seems like a very good integrated package.
I absolutely love your vidéo et your new bike !
I gave your discount code to my son. Saved him 1300 bucks!! Thank you so much!!
Remy, what bike stand are you using in the yard ? Thank you
Hi Remy! Do you use the same tyre pressures on e-bike and convencional bike?
Thanks!
About 2psi more and on DH casing
Thanks!
Great video, loving that Ekano 2 CF. It says that code is expired. Do you have a new one?
Remy ,good point about tapping the brakes I've been doing this for years, my kenevo wants to change up tech climbs ,so tapping the brakes keeps you in the sweet spot😊
Right on
See the Kross Moon graphic, almost identical hinge kinematics, and the frame is 6 years old.
I've been mountain biking for a long time and as I get older, I can't climb some of the stuff I used to. I am going to get a E-MTB next year and feel gifted that the golden age of Ebikes is overlapping perfectly with my golden years.
Hi Remy, thanks for your videos - Did I miss the weight of your bike or it is not mentioned in the video ? Thanks in advance, Bonjour du pays des fromages qui puent 😉
Hey Remy, do you know if the jade x shock also fits into the ekano 2 AL version?
Yes it should
He rips and I love all of that terrain he's riding!!!
I bought an ebike last spring and I'm for sure a better rider because of it.
Time pedals are 50% off in Canada right now! Great chance to try Speciale 8/12 since the normal retail price in Canada is eye wateringly expensive.
Hi Rémy! What is the weight difference between the E-kano and your other bikes in general? Thanks!
E Kano has a motor. It's a Ebike
@@remymetailler Rémy,Je le sais que c'est un EB!!! Je te demandais juste la différence de poids entre le E-Kano et un autre de tes vélos favoris sans moteur!!! Merci 😉
wow awesome
Shredding is shredding 🤙
I was like the E-bike hater before. Until one day,went to the bike shop bought the accessories and the bike shop boss let me have a chance to test ride the E-bike. The moment when I test ride it,it completely changed my mind. If you change a different view minded of E-bike,it basically a fun bike and definitely help a lot of injured and illness people to find back the fun of the bike. I wa injured my back and dislocated arm before,can't ride my bike aggressive and not so many times anymore.Until I test ride the E-bike, it completely changed my mind. I will say I like both now, the traditional MTB and Ebike definitely are my both favourite now. If I had a chance in the future and enough budget,I will definitely consider E-bike in my wishlist. I definitely like riding both,both have their own riding style and fun! So ride what you like Remy,this is your own choice!(๑و•̀ω•́)و
(Sorry for my broken English xd
I really love enduro bikes old and new. But if I Had the money I would by an Ebike. The fun part is downhill and if you don't live on bikepark or tow the bike on a trail it's a lot of time and energy wasted going uphill. You should be a Monster to do the same trail or a long day bike with a normal bike. An Ebike is a very good weapon to have fun. 90% of the people only want to have fun and most of them are out of shape. Ebike for most of the people are the best choice. Now I can ride with people on ebikes and I know in normal conditions this Will be impossible. Just Focus on positive things and the good things that this bikes gives to normal and pros. Have fun. Enjoy the ride ✨⭐
Ass someone who has had 5 ebikes and is going back to analog... the thing everyone misses is that us humans are motivated by struggle. It is the challenge, the hard work and the progress that keeps us coming back. Just descending gets boring after a while.
Riding needs to be hard to keep me coming back. It's a dopamine thing, it's neurology.
😎🤘
100% that s why I still ride a lot of regular bike
LMAO, uhhh, no. Have you ever ridden downhill? No one is getting bored of taking the lift to the top. It's not "neurology". I doubt your whole story. Do you even ride mtb? Because, it sounds pretty obvious that you don't. LOL!
100% agree
if you are motivated by struggle then why did you go out of your way to ride 5 different e-bikes lol. Go hike up mt everest thats typically what modern day humans like to do that are motivated by struggle. I'm generally motivated to enjoy a slice of pizza and some chocolate milk after a fun day riding with friends 😄
When will the new GDH grips be available for us normal Mountainbikers? I‘ve only seen them used by sponsored Ergon riders
Oh I'm not sure
I’m kinda weighing up getting an ebike. My dad has one and it’s unreal amounts of fun.
I still prefer how a normal bike rides on the decents but I can’t argue with the fact an ebike makes up for its minor flaws on the downs with stupid fun going up.
And for me bike parks and uplifts don’t exist locally so it would make sense……..but at 23 I worry I’ll get lazy with it 🤣
How much does it weigh?
Ebike,j’adore le mien c’est devenue mon bike que j’use 80% du temps ,spécialement avec de l’arthrose à la anche,je ride tous mes bike encore ,peux pas m’en passer. Super ton review 🤙
Hey Remy, I have a video idea for you. Do a which is faster, Propain Ekano 2 vs Spindrift on a downhill trail.
I enjoy these video, make more videos with tech contents 🙌
More to come!
Where can I get one of those stands for my E-bike???
Hello Remy, can you tell us what riding pants you wear? I’m a shorter rider and it’s difficult to find pants with a shorter inseam. Thank you.
The 7mesh Glidepath
@@remymetailler thank. I will order using your backcountry link. What backpack do you use for riding? Thanks again!
Thank you!! Love this Bike
Me encanta podria ser mi proxima ebike 😍
Great Bike! Maybe i missed it, but : what size and how much it weighs in that setup ?
Size M, 23kg
I'm going to design an E-bike park.
I hope that one day they will be more affordable though. I want one xD
That’s now . I got one for 3k off
Hey Remy you ever ride hardtails?
Since I have an e-bike, I ride a lot more and sweat more. It's fun and find new trails that a traditional bike wouldn't cover. But, I ride a traditional bike once in a while when I miss it.
Owen🙌
When are they coming to Australia? 🙈
It's on my shortlist when the prices come down.
Well done Remy!
Do you change your tire pressure for the e-bike?
Typically would had 2psi
"Hey, Remy. That's awesome. I just ordered an EKANO 2 CF. I'm curious, why did you choose to use such a long dropper post? 170mm or 180mm?"
There is one really big con about ebikes .....i cant afford one
I’m the complete opposite. I can afford one.. I just don’t want it😤 I’ll feel soft.
@@joshuaallswang8016 same
I only hate e-bikes when they pass me on climbs. 😅 I rented one in Squamish this past summer. It allowed me to see so much more than I could have on a non- e-bike.
The problem has always been price. I can afford a 2k full suspension but there's no comparable e-mtb until you pay triple that
Dear Remy,
Thanks for the great video. I would like to buy one Ekano2CF but your discount code is not worming anymore. Could you provide a new one?
Thank you and best regards
Christian
Screw the haters! Only post ebike videos now to weed out the idiots. Keep ripping remi!
