I was debating on getting this bike or Orbea wild M10. Both around the same price, both have the smart system and 750wh battery. So glad I got the wild. For the weight a lone this bike would not be for me. But overall, I feel orbea really figured out how to make an enduro ebike with this version of the wild.
Just Noticed a bit of a struggle to find something non inspiring and still hold your honesty , professional knowledge, and my guess by far, probably some of the most experienced group of riders testing all these incredible new bikes ! Thank you for bestowing your wisdom. And thank you for keeping it real!.
I'm just saying I appreciate the fact that they said it how it is it's not always easy to say something isn't great . And they did a great job of saying it as it is . Great show guys..
Thanks for the feedback! We want to do our best to educate riders on where to spend their money, and we would hate for people to spend money based on a dishonest positive review from us. Glad you appreciate our honesty!
Great review guys. Just how I evaluated it. Glad someone agrees with me. A great solid bike for sure. Long in the tail but the trade off is it does the hills which I would rather concentrate on than the narrow switchbacks which are for the younger fellas. Great work gents.
Hello guys, thanks for all the videos. I'm currently torn between deciding on the Cannondale Moterra Neo LT 2 2023, available for €4,999 at a physical shop, and the Santa Cruz Heckler S 29' 2023, priced at €4,899 online. I would greatly appreciate any advice. My primary riding location is in Sintra, Portugal. Or any other bike for the same budget I should lock at? Great video love the channel :)
@@migueljaime24 Boa! Obrigado pelo feedack. Eu fechei ontem com a LT1..Testei-a em Monsanto e gostei bastante. Tirando o facto de ser um pouco mais pesada, parece boa opção pois vem com bom equipamento. Boas voltas! Abc
This one of the only English speaking reviews not done by someone in Europe. Is cannondale worth buying if you are in America? Ha…I found last year models LT 2 for $3500 and LT 1 for $4200…seems pretty cheap for a ebike with 750w and Bosch motor and decent components. I don’t really ride crazy. Trying to get back into riding. Just climb to the top, have fun going down on my local socal trails. Nothing crazy. Still having a hard time deciding on what e-bike to get
As much as we love the way Mondraker bikes look, and want to like them more, we're not big fans of Mondraker's suspension platform, especially with an air shock as they are very harsh off the top. They have a lot of pedal feedback, hang up and it leads to slower descending times, more fatigue and harsher ride in the saddle on climbs as it hits and hangs on edges. We have reviewed some Mondraker bikes, and found that the O_Chain device helps a bit, but this bike has a much smoother suspension platform that suits us better.
Good job as always with the review. I think Cannondale either goes super conservative or super radical (either good or bad way) with their bikes. @EminentCycles didn't participate? High pivot e-bikes got me interested given the power has to go through the idler wheel.
Thanks for watching. With so many different types of riders and terrain out there, we like the fact that different brands offer different bikes for everybody.
This bike, Evil epocalypse, Fezzari Timp Peak, Giant Trance X Adv E+, Ibis Oso, Marin Rift Zone E, Nukeproof Megawatt, Orbea Wild, Pivot Shuttle LT, RM Alt. Powerplay, SCOR 4060 Z ST, Scott Patron eRide and 2023.5 Specialized Levo. We tried to get some of the more boutique-y brands, but they either never replied, didn't have bikes or declined to participate.
@@TheLoamWolf nice line up, looking forward to your reviews! After last year's shootout I demo'd and bought a Turbo Levo Expert. More comfortable and capable than my 2020 Heckler but also a bit heavier. Plan to visit Bend in August and look forward to riding the trails I see in your videos which look fantastic.
Considering, nearly all other bikes with 750wh battery are averaging $10k+, this isn’t a bad deal and decent spec. Too bad it’s the heaviest bike in the line up.
I’ve found these brand new for $3,699… super tempting. I’m an ex shredder in my younger days just looking to get back into riding again and get in shape. Do the climb up and have some fun back down to the truck without killing myself.
11 percent progression isn’t enough for a coil shock not sure why they put one on this bike needs to be over 20 percent for that coil to work right just sayin!
Perfect for us long term mtbers who enjoy DH ,Enduro long distance exploring, great review 🙏🇦🇺
Right on thank you very much and appreciate you watching. Hope it gave some insight to you.
@The Loam Wolf , been Mtbing 4 decades Emting 5yrs current ride Giant Reign 0 it's a beast

I'm an inch on pulling the trigger on the LT2

Right on thank you for sharing and always appreciate hearing other peoples feedback too. Glad to hear we were on point with your impressions as well.
Very nice, thanks guys !
Thanks for watching!
I think that the stars of the shootout are gonna be the Orbea, the Pivot LT, the Evil and that Fezzari Timp Peak!
Some good guesses.
Is that snow?

Olá Miguel! Compraste a Moterra? Estou com a mesma dúvida mas para a LT1.. Gostava de saber a tua opinião. Obrigado
@@MegaTerinho Boas, não acabei por ir para a santa cruz, melhor escolha que fiz. Muito feliz com a compra 💪

How would you compare this to the Mondraker Level?

hows it compare to the scott ransom eride
58lbs. wow😮 (I accept a 50 pound full Power ebike, anything above that is unruly)
Good job as always with the review. I think Cannondale either goes super conservative or super radical (either good or bad way) with their bikes.

What’s the 2023 line up guys? Hope to see some boutique brands

Nice lineup. Looking forward to Scor and Pivot review
Nice!! Glad you’re happy and hope to catch ya on the trails
Always wish I could see the Kenevo in there
Considering, nearly all other bikes with 750wh battery are averaging $10k+, this isn’t a bad deal and decent spec.
Too bad it’s the heaviest bike in the line up.
The pros and cons of everything! It’s what makes these types of comparisons difficult but fun.
The weight adds stability on the downhills. I love mine. I even bought an extra battery for back country Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Adams weekends.
I’ve found these brand new for $3,699… super tempting. I’m an ex shredder in my younger days just looking to get back into riding again and get in shape. Do the climb up and have some fun back down to the truck without killing myself.
@@JoshuaDomoslaiI just ordered mine for 4150€
Its me or this year the shootout came sooner?
Couple weeks sooner than last. We cracked the whip on the video guys.
@@TheLoamWolf im glad you can do it on and on so we get a shootout everymonth
11 percent progression isn’t enough for a coil shock not sure why they put one on this bike needs to be over 20 percent for that coil to work right just sayin!
On paper it might not be enough, but in practice it worked quite well.
What does that even mean? Never heard of progression in regard rear shock. Thanks
Ugh, they went with the Startrek remote in a 2023 bike.
And unfortunately they weren't the only Bosch equipped bike in our shootout to use it.
Wait I’m confused? Is the remote bad? Does Bosch make multiple different remotes? Genuinely curious!
Expensive 😢
Hate to break to you, there is only 1 that is less expensive.
Look at Vitus E Sommet if you want cheaper. Starts at $4500. Also some specialized are currently on sale
58 lbs !! And it’s Carbon?!? Wtf?!?
Why can’t Americans and Brits not learn how to pronounce Schwalbe
Crap am I saying Schwable wrong? At least I bother to get Porsche and Husqvarna right lol
Cannondale has not been very good since the good old raven/v bike days, think missy giove, now crap.
HATE IT
Headset cable routing. Pass…
