EugenM Added a reply to The HUGE downside of EMTB's
7/16/2021 7:08am I compare electrics with real mtbs. I get it, comparing it with an mx, it is probably more agile, a lot more, considering the weight diff but, comparing it with a real mtb, 12-14 kgs lighter, it is an effin pig. It has more inertia and, generally, it is slow to manoeuvre. and yes, 30 mph!, only at (around that)speed...

7/16/2021 12:57am Quite possibly the most expensive bike to come with deore brakes in history. Utterly ridiculous, especially when the cannondale Jekyll that dropped yesterday had factory suspension and XO1/GX drivetrain with code RSCs for a cheaper price.

7/16/2021 12:49am @Nunes76, I'm doing just that. Taking moto lessons and considering buying an ADV bike for a different type of experience.

7/15/2021 3:04pm Some of us here in the alps do not use trains (or cable lifts) or shuttle services (for day to day riding), i.e. we pedal, have tried e-MTBs and see no reason at all to switch to them. The power is a quickly wearing off gimmick (it was meh after about 15 minutes of turbo mode), they are heavier, much more expensive, require more expensive maintenance and they ride down hill much worse than proper bikes do. If I'll ever want a motorcycle, I'll buy a proper motorcycle. As for e-bikes, given my limited testing, Specialized SL series is the...

7/15/2021 2:58pm the other weekend I did a 40k(actually 39.something) traverse with 1k uphill and 2k downhill... in archaic units, that's ~25 miles with 3k ft uphill and 6k ft on the downs. The riding time was 1 hour faster than my best time on this route, time made when I was in a much better shape that I am now. yeah...

7/12/2021 8:25am Saturday I did a 40 km ride with 2000m negative vert and 980m positive alpine pass. I was left unimpressed. the +es: - can climb almost anything; I had to change my mindset about the approaches for climbs and climbing lines; where, on a bike, I would push.. on the electric, I pushed the peddals hard and that was about it. - it transforms the mountain riding as, on my bikes in 99.99% of the time, I ride on trails, natural or man-made. With an electric, basically, you can go wherever you want, then, after you had enough, get back...

3/23/2021 11:59am I do think that more than the price of an Orbea Rise M10(with maybe 10-15% discount from the rrp) it is just a waste. For ppl with loads of money, for which an S-works is just another toy among many other toys, yeah, it does not matter, they could price it even beyon 15k; also, there are many many ppl out there with the financial resources to get one of these bikes and....I believe, Spez will sell all the ones they can produce.

1/27/2021 3:00pm @Maximilian, finally, something we can agree on. Waki's rants and comments were refreshingly honest and a delight to read. I can't give such smart, witty and on point/blunt replys; I'm nowhere near that well-read and smart. I can't be Waki.. no one can.

1/27/2021 1:44pm the great Maximilian, one of the 4 pillars of Romanian mtb-ing... actually, my bad, he is all the 4 pillars of the Romanian community; please ppl, do like, share and comment on his posts. Don't forget to put an 'Amin' at the end of each comment.. he lives for that. You will make his day and he would be able to show on his Facebook groups how much international approvement he gets; he needs that in order to still show relevance. Let's help him guys reach his daily target of likes. remember: like, comment and put an 'Amin' at the...

1/27/2021 1:29pm ooh.. my personal fanboy Maximilian the great...at what, no one knows.. maybe mtb-ing at his local hill.. but that's debatable. as for what I do and what I supervise, you should send me monthly thank you notes and flowers. Without these cheap a$$ "bikes" , there would be no #industry as, roughly 300 ppl riding mostly real mtbs can't really be considered a community; regarding the Nomad, yeah, I'm pissed off, as I would have brought one if it would have been a mullet. one+one equalls two and both have nothing to do with what this special gentlemen here and...

1/27/2021 12:41pm I don't. I'm just against full 27.5" wheels; bikes have had such a great development in the last years that we simply don't need them anymore. It is like trying to make a smartphone with physical buttons on it...we're just beyond/past this and they have no real relevance; and also, I never said I'm against A 27.5" wheel on a bike.. I am against having two. There is simply zero, ZERO, reasons to have a 27.5" front wheel. - actually, that's my problem with the Nomad. Instead of being the bike that could have been, we got some sort of...

1/27/2021 10:36am bike shop employee... 3rd world country...; of course, that is exactly what I am. You're so smart you should apply to some central intelligence agency. ppl all over the world do need your talents bruh! having said that, when I ordered in Asia my first 3 containers of bikes, little did I know that , several years from that moment, when now working with several local factories in and around my country(but still giving some orders to taiwan factory) and after developing 3 brands(2 for bikes and 1 for accessories), some "knowledgeable rider" will figure out that I am doing...
