As an avid Ebike guy, I'm much more excited about integrated motor and gearboxes like the Pinion MGU. I think that the gearbox and belt drive is the future we should look at with ebikes. It just makes so much sense with the ebikes. No more drivetrain issues and keeps all the weight centered and down low. I really think it could be beneficial. I couldn't care less about power. I think that's just the low hanging fruit for the motor company's to show "innovation".

The red is a small belt. Specialized is going after the Gates $100,000 just like the other teams, they are just being stealthy about it. I hope that's it just because it would be funny.

You'd think "Video of Sam Hill on a Motorcycle" would be amazing, but somehow that thing made one of the greatest riders of all time look positively underwhelming. And I have nothing against ebikes. Oh well, get your bag Sam. You earned it.

Kinda related, but I just got an HR3 and am pretty impressed with it for summer conditions here in NorCal. It's plenty stable on hardpack (something mid spikes usually suck at) but is awesome in loose or loose over hard. It's been a while since I ran an Assegai, but I feel like the HR3 is a bit faster rolling than it, although slower than a Kryptotal Front still. I like that it's 2.4" also, as I prefer that width over 2.5" because it's quicker to get on edge.

Ha! That was actually something our engineering team did in the earliest stages of the HR3 development as a proof of concept.

It looks like they borrowed the guts from a Shimano pedal to make this prototype. The markings on the spring adjustment look identical to a PD-M8000

I agree with you guys who don’t think more power and fatter heavier bikes are what we need as Mtbers. I don’t either. I love my Relay, I don’t need more power just a better more refined total system.

yep have to agree, this arms race is the wrong direction. On the trail, EP8 motor in "trail" mode is sufficient for me, when I get tired after riding, I'll ride home on Boost to the pub/home where there again is ample power to literally barely pedal and go 32kph. Bring the weight down before making them more powerful. I suppose the Amflow has done this but it's not a build I would ride without breaking a lot of components.

Well the race to moto these is on, which sucks. I've ridden exclusively e-bikes for 2 years due to injury/surgery, so not saying this as a hater, but as a long-time trail builder/advocate. I'd like to see some large jurisdiction clamp down on specs. Limit peak, momentary torque to 85Nm (plenty!) and peak output to 650 watts (plenty!). Require that if it's going to be sold here and has pedals, it must be limited to the Class 1 specs. Sorry, you don't need to go 50kph/30mph on an e-bike. You don't need to soft pedal up a 20% grade. Get...
