Thanks, it was a graph like that I was thinking of. I haven't seen one showing EMTB vs. EMTB+ though, so I didn't know that about the change to max assist. When I rode last night, I'd agree that EMTB did feel weaker than it used to when putting out a similar level of effort. The reason I like the dynamic modes (basically any of the ones where it's not just a linear relationship between assistance & rider power) is that they are really efficient where it's less steep and you don't need as much assistance, rather than wasting watts...

Sorry but have to respond to this. Who would spend thousands of dollars on a bike from a company in self-administration? You are taking a massive gamble on warranty and even spare parts. As far as I am concerned, they are no longer a viable bike brand.

That's not quite right, Emtb was much closer to Turbo, but starts with much lower assistance if you don't put much effort into the pedalling. Emtb can reach the same peak power and torque as Turbo. Before the update, both Emtb and Turbo had 320% max assist level. Now after the update I believe emtb stays at 320% max assist...

I have owned 2 YTs, loved the bikes and had great service. Gutted by the news. Obviously, financial stuff and market conditions will have been the main driver of this, but I have been puzzled by their e-bike offerings for ages now: 1st decoy came out as a great bike, not ahead of its time, but very competitive. As ebikes...

Yes, 2x in a row due to availabilit of the exact model (compound, casing etc). Work great for me, but never tried the Fr so maybe I'm missing out!!

I think they said on the broadcast that there were 23 previous winners competing at an earlier round. Man the difference between Ronan out of breadth, feeling all the hard impacts and having to focus is crazy compared to Goldstone.

In a recent video Reece Wilson said he went all the way down to 140mm on his DH bike for some courses! I'm on 140mm now, but on an ebike (with stupidly low BB ), so pedalling up isn't really an issue even with a 34t ring. I don't find much difference descending other than the vastly improved clearance. I...

"It is definitely worth noting that on more progressive bikes you shouldn’t be surprised if you run under 30% sag at the shock, though. " Wait what, maybe the language used is wrong, but more progressive bikes would likely need more than (over) 30% sag, while linear bikes can be run well under/less than 30% sag. As others have said...

Just last week, I started to get a new rattle in the front end of the bike. It sounded pretty bad, like a very loose bolt, after a few minutes I started to worry that it might even be a loose ball bearing wandering around my headset. I eventually stopped riding and discovered my handlebars were acting like a rainstick/maracas...

105NM, twin wireless bar controllers, bigger screen and a circular magnet instead of the old small single type. You have to take your hat off to these guys, I don't know where they get their ideas from. 🤣

Top 30 baby! Wait am I qualified for the final or do I need to do a Q2??? Ever so slightly takes away the sting from not seeing Ronan destroy the field.
