3/22/2026 8:04pm Anyone aware of any new bikes coming out using the TQ40 motor like the rallon rs? Or similar low power sub 40#? I rode a rallon rs and it was almost perfect. It’d be sweet to get the rallon rs but without all the integration mainly the dropper. Ideally set up with a one up dropper, transmission, and mavens.

Seen a couple of listings for a Reverb AXS B2 - the new one last year was the B1 - anyone know if there's any actual differences?

Since it is my 40th birthday today, I may just order the that frame if it’s available tomorrow.

1/28/2026 5:12am Fuel imo has better geo for taller folks- I’d be an xl. MTE is sweet and the suspension supposed to be awesome. Bummer it comes with a 36 vs a 38. Vala sl could be a good option but would prefer the tq or similar motor.

I'm 6'2 and 260lbs and I've had Yamaha, Shimano, Bafang and Fazua bikes. I have found them all to be adequate motors. I currently ride the Fazua bike and love it because its a BURLY build but only weighs 46lbs (which is 10lbs or 20% lighter than my full powered ebike). Riding by myself I have no problems and even riding with full powered guys I can keep up but I'm breathing heavy enough I can't hold a conversation (also I really only ride in river - "blue"- mode, if I turn to rocket -"purple/pink" I could keep up easily)...

12/11/2025 6:40am Thank you! It seems as if most folks want their ebike to do all the work. I just want a little bit of help. I already ride my Hightower on my local loops at about 6.5 mph for an average ride- 1200ft climbing over 8-9 miles. I really just want to be a couple mphs faster and maybe even do...

Honestly I'm also a big boy (290) and I have the new norco sight, and i'm thinking when more some better tq (580w/h) enduro bikes come out I might swap over. The power in the bosch is cool but it's pretty far in descending feel from my analog bike.

12/8/2025 3:49am Ya that’s the appeal with the tq system- I’d love to try to give a rip on an MTE or the fuel+. I just want a little help and to keep the ride feel of my trail bike (Hightower).

No problemo. Noise isn’t bad, typical gear whine. I suppose that might get better when broken in. Soon as I started into a trail, tires and other bike noises were louder. No nocking or rattles but only two rides in so far.
