    Yes! It was featured on "Where in the world" a few shows ago. I'm limited on which bikes are available to me as I'm only 5ft and love 29ers. Have a 2020 Orbea Wild FS H20 S/M with shorter dropper, shorter stem so it fits.

    • @embn
      @embn  2 года назад +1

      That's a brilliant bike! That's great that you've made the switch to 29er. It sounds like you've managed to get the perfect setup for your height as well! Thanks for the support! 👍

    let's address the elephant in the room... money. EMTBs have reached absurd prices with the higher end stuff being comparable to motocross bikes... and I don't think that is justified at all. On top of that: availability... I would actually prefer a Bosch motored bike, but I can't really chose. After setting budget, frame size and a few key components like brakes that actually work.. there isn't much left to chose from- at least this season

    • @acelectricalsecurity
      @acelectricalsecurity 2 года назад +4

      Your right, when they reviewed the new KTM ebike, I looked on their site and their ebike was more than some of their motor bikes. I can't see how a bicycle costs more than a motorbike. What I do know, from inside information is that the mark up is massive on all bicycles, over 100% in some places.
      The cheapest full suspension bike with a Bosch motor I have seen was in decathlon it was under £3k but I think it's closer to £3.5k now, but it always seems to be out of stock, that's still a big chunk of money.

The Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro, which was 3500aud or 2200usd. I would have loved the 140HPC, but I commute on my bike a lot so it's not worth it really.

    This channel likes to push the fact you need a certain bike for certain riding, which I find bizarre, this is mountain biking, you don't know what you will come across, the terrain varies along the route. It's just nonsense, I have always ridden a hard tail, and I have never been anywhere, where I have thought I need a certain bike, I just ride it regardless.

      You are right, you don't need a fully. But, for me personally, since I've gone fully I won't go back. I didn't see him saying you need Bike X for task Y. There wasn't anything pushed upon me watching this video.
