The current Rail+ is still being sold with the builds introduced back in 2024. The previous Rail was a very popular bike, not sure why Trek is not even trying with the new one. The Levo 4 is being sold today with builds introduced early 2025 and there was a lot of emphasis on discounting Comp builds before their recent...

Thanks! And great question. We've made a decision to sharpen our focus on the US market right now. We want to do it the best we can here at home before we expand again so that we have a strong foundation to grow from. And Canada is absolutely on the roadmap, and honestly it's one of the first places we want to be when we do expand. Stay tuned, we're working on it!

What's going on everyone! John Hall here at Intense Cycles. Stoked to get to chat with everyone about the new Tazer. It's something our whole team at Intense has been working on for a very long time and can't wait to bench race with you about it! Fire away!

Without any kind of fast charging available the Bosch SX system paired with the 400wh is not making any possible sense, just go CX / 600wh and detune to get better range at this point. TQ HPR60 with the 580wh is ahead of the whole SL segment, we need more bikes with this system.

I would love to see them make something to compete with TQ. The SX is great but kinda pointless in my opinion. Any SX bike, by the time you add a range extender (which is almost mandatory with the 400 battery) is pretty damn close in weight to the CX and 600 battery. I originally said it would be awesome to have a SX bike with a 600, but it just doesn't make sense. Give me a 60nm, 350-400 watt motor that's actually light. Right now there's really no competition for TQ in that market.

The SX rattles, is inefficient & the battery is a bit small. The F60 is superior and the TQ60 is FAR superior. Heck even the RM SL motor is a better package in my estimation. Soon we'll have the Maxon Air S in a similarly sized package.

Delta RC is rather an updated version of the Charger RC. The compression piston seems to be a bit of an upgrade. So it actually might be a pretty decent damper for the money. https://docs.sram.com/en-US/publications/1MdgH61bPulKX0ksJ8f3UH/SM%20-%…

You're missing the point. For a two pound penalty you can have double the range. You can set your avinox to a low eco mode and have the same gentle assistance. The first time you try and go on a ride with your full power ebike friends on your TQ you'll understand that it just makes so much more sense to have a bike that can do both

The new Amflow PX at 44lbs is a great representative to showcase how this system can enable manufacturers to compete with SL eMTBs even if using a full power system. Druid Core Lite @ 45.9lbs is another contender, but there's not a lot of these 6-700wh Avinox bikes out there yet. I'm sure we'll see more of these lighter Avinox...

The resale value on these TQ bikes might be a total gamble if more and more Avinox bikes are releasing with similar weights & aesthetics. I believe this is also applying to other full power systems as they're suddenly +- 1 generation behind solely on the packaging of their system. I guess there will be more options soon, but right...

Nice bike, chunky Bosch 800wh isn't looking too bad on this bike. While it's still being expensive, the price is competitive and much more attractive than some other models in the enduro category. However, no Kiox 400C & 180mm rear rotor, really Norco ?
