tabletop84 Added a reply to E-MTBs That Are Also E-Motos - What's Going to Happen?
6/11/2025 11:09am Whats the weight? Center of gravity seems rather high so probably will ride like a pig downhill. But people who buy these obviosuly don't care or know about that. The thing is in Europe and especially the Alps/Dach-Region things like those on the trails en masse will quickly lead to local or county wide bans for all bicycles on trails...

It's in between a Surron and an E-MTB. I hate it now and I will always hate it.

gearbox and lightweight won't work. The thing is a Gen 3 Levo, a full power bike with a removable battery weighs only one kg more: https://www.pedelecforum.de/forum/index.php?threads/levo-2022-besitzer-…

6/3/2025 7:50am Yeah, their other bikes seem to have some kind of middle of the road thing in where you don't have ot remove the motor but fiddle with more screws/bolts and cables compared to a more quick system.

Information is limited but it seems the battery is removable on the Crestline

6/3/2025 12:41am Looks rather long and heavy. But maybe it's just the optics. I wish someone would make an Avinox bike with a removable battery. But maybe the system doesn't allow it (yet). I just wonder how low full power weight could go with that option... The frame design of the Crestline would allow a lower slide out tho.

If a 2:2:2 tread pattern is modern, then does that mean a 29x2.25 Magic Mary (snakeskin) was avante-garde?

This podcast is good for the nerds, found it very interesting hearing them talk about regulation and the 'spec' wars: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/15-bosch-and-e-bike-power-claus-f…

tabletop84 Added a reply to Front DH Tyres Accurately Timed: Albert Radial vs Assegai
5/28/2025 9:03am Yeah, I forgot about suspension setup in relation to the tires. Fuck, this is so tricky! I actually like a slower rebound I think. At least I'm most often close to the fox recommendation and don't open up rebound all the way as some people seem to prefer.

5/28/2025 4:54am I didn't watch the whole videos yet. Did you ride the magic mary radial trail and gravity casings yet? I think you need to experiment with the air pressure a bit more. I'm a bit dumbfounded that you say the ride quality is better but they are bouncier. For me the better ride quality comes from them feeling more planted...
tabletop84 Added a reply to Front DH Tyres Accurately Timed: Albert Radial vs Assegai
5/28/2025 4:49am I think it's really hard to do this objectively. For once the testers need to get really familiar with the tires and find the right air pressure for all conditions. Especially with the radial casings. Then it needs to be made sure that the rubber compound of the tires is new and has been stored properly (cold and dark). I...

5/27/2025 11:22am Nah, motor and battery of the Avinox system are almost 1 kg lighter than the Levo. But a frame without a removable battery is also way lighter. So controlled weight comparison would show that the Amflow is at least 1,5kg lighter.
tabletop84 Added a reply to E-bike talk: not tech rumor derailment
5/25/2025 1:51am I know. I wish they went for a smaller battery and slide out at the bottom with a more compact motor. I wanna see how low the weight can be with the avinox syst and a removable battery like that.

5/23/2025 9:52pm Isn't it just a plastic cover? That's standard for ebikes. The Gen 3 alloy levo was relatively light for a full power emtb.

5/23/2025 6:49am I only saw a spy shot. Didn't look that good. And it probably will be 25 kg plus. Probably 26 kg with pedals and chunky tires...

5/20/2025 3:12pm Not sure how it's an 'old' design. I mean if you check wc race bikes from commencal mucoff you will see pierron, vergier et al mostly ride MM in the front an tacky Chan in the back. Maybe they would switch to tacky Chan on some really hard pack tracks but I guess they also like the MM for its...

5/20/2025 11:14am What's your problem with the magic mary? I mean its not the greatest tire for hardpack but if it was that bad the worldcup riders like Pierron wouldn't win races constantly on it on bike parky tracks. If you want maxx grip in most conditions get MM front and back. For hardpack you might have to wait. I want to...

5/20/2025 8:33am MM is the do it all tire for all but the most extreme conditions (hard pack or mud party) if you can stand the slight drifting on more compact surfaces. You get used to it tho. I only noticed it the first few rides after coming back from a butcher/eliminator combo.

Suns' succinctly summarizing the dilemma of the modern trail bike, especially at high altitude: tough to keep a bike fast and light and have great front traction. He is a true tire nerd and a wealth of tire info. For years I have been on a quest for this holy grail of fast, light, and big hook up! In the last few months I've ridden on the front the DHF exo+ 2.5 3c Maxxterra (my personal fav for years), the Tioga Edge 22, and now the Albert radial in soft. I consider the Assguy the benchmark for outright cornering and...

5/19/2025 10:56am Depends how loose but I like magic Mary front and back on loose stuff and racers seem to like it too...
