As fit enduro bikers, trail bike lovers and parents with a shotgun seat the wife bought a Trek Rail and I bought a decked out Vala last year (because my wife "convinced" me, we needed that, all the cool influencer, former EWS racer moms have them). With the shotgun seat it was curious fun for a bit, until our son told us, he also wants a bike with a motor. After a couple of weeks with the emtbs we realised that something was missing. After the honeymoon-phase we rode eco-mode almost exclusively, the emtbs weren´t as fun (for us) as...

I am just going to say this... Fuck that guy. I wouldn't buy anything from him again. He is doing some cool shit and thats why I bought from him in the first place but until he starts to fulfill orders hes a scammer and people need to stop giving him attention.

The enduro from ‘07 on was always pretty good on climbs. Granted, weights went up with travel and slackened geos… and I haven’t ridden the most recent one. But if the argument for not buying one is due to your legs and lungs sucking, that’s not entirely the bike’s fault. From my wizarding, I’ve deduced there used to be a lot more “climb adverse” people out there who were more on the husky side of life and pushed uphill while complaining the whole time. Many in this Enduro-bro group were buying 170mm enduro bikes to more or less suffer going...

your currency is not much worth anymore, it lost like 25% in just 4 years against the swiss franc, what do you people expect things to cost when you import everything and the fascist king wants his cut on top?

Let’s not let the OG rumors thread saga end talking about folks saddle nose angle preference. In the nature of rumors: - heard rumblings from a brand that makes a flex pivot XC bike of pushing the flex pivot into larger travel aka trail categories. Could be a replacement for the tallboy. Bringing the Blur LT back? - spotted a production looking fox 40 in the wild - generative arch - regular sticker kit and gloss - new 40 and 38 release before sea otter? Back to back days like the 36 and 34sl?

tech rumors forum update - you've spoken and have been heard we'll lock out this thread at the end of the year (no matter what, it's just too darn big now), and will carry on with yearly tech rumors threads that will be stickied for easy participation. the 2026 thread is already underway here (not yet stickied) i just want to thank everyone for their feedback and insight on what this piece of the vital community means.

Anyone have plans for replacement motors/batteries? Could do a core charge type thing where you buy a new motor for $1000, but send in the core and receive $500 back. Same for batteries. I think people (myself especially) are concerned about long term durability and finding replacement parts. I'd be happy to purchase a new OR refurb motor 5 years down the road. Get rid of lifetime warranties and just make replacement parts easy to find and buy.

FAZUA What defines an e-MTB, specifically with regards to rider interaction and power delivery? What is your overarching goal when you develop an e-MTB motor/battery system? An e-MTB from the FAZUA perspective is defined by the interaction between rider and motor — by how naturally the system responds to human input and how intuitively it delivers power. At FAZUA, we believe that true performance is not about adding more watts, but about creating a seamless connection between rider and machine. Our goal when developing an e-MTB drive system is to engineer a lightweight, compact, and fully integrated unit that enhances...
