I am surprised Orbea kept Headset Cable Routing. They have been removing it from a lot of their bikes... New Rallon doesn't have it, the Occam did, but they removed it. I bet they will remove it mid cycle.

marktuttl3 Added a reply to Poll: Electric shifting vs mechanical shifting
8/1/2024 12:46am For me it comes down to cost, and weight. I am a weight weenie and can't imagine paying MORE for a part that is heavier and more expensive than the item it is replacing. Plus I have seen countless racers not start or take a DNF b/c they forgot to charge their battery. It boggles my mind, you do all...

Im all about cost, my last 2 bikes came with transmission and they were discounted so i got back a heap of money back swapping to XT. was cheaper in end than the lower spec with XT lol. for NZD sake, I dont need $2000 worth of drivetrain hanging off the side of my bike. However, dont get me wrong, the Transmission/AXS works amazing, its just purely a cost problem.

Nice build! It's certainly impressive how light it is, and it's clear you've crafted it to suit your personal tastes. Everyone's preferences are different, and it's great to see such diversity in bike setups. Personally, I lean towards 29ers with a long dropper, wider gearing, burly tires, and inserts, but that's just what works for me.

Nice - The Giant frames are quite bulky plus alloy. I am on my 2nd after cracking it on my last trip to Tassie.

My Orbea Wild (L) is 22kg, with 170mm 38, coil, inserts, 200mm dropper, 220mm/200mm brakes. 750wh battery etc So not light spec, but not good overall weight.

Why does Propain have these stupid model names? Sresh, Tyee, Spindrift, Ekano?

Current Bosch powered bikes are not “all heavy af” as you said. I’ve never seen any over 26kg and mine was 190/200mm travel, Bosch motor, 750 battery and a 40 up front and it was only 50lbs, (23kg) link below. However the stock build is about 24-25kg depending on the build. Also the DH performance doesn’t “suffer” because of the weight, it’s actually better. The bike is more planted, stable and has more traction. And the “long ass chainstays” are really good, they help the bike climb steep ass climbs without wanting to loop out, they make it more stable...
