I like it a lot! I don’t feel as comfortable hitting jumps on it as when I’m on my yeti 160e but that could just be cuz I’m still getting s feel for the bike. It took about. 5 months for me to finally get the bike after multiple delays and ran into a few minor problems but Propains great customer service took care of me. I got the 29er ultimate build cuz I wanted the axs dropper. Changed my brakes from sram to Magura. Pros- beautiful bike - plows through the chunky stuff - very quiet bike on the uphill and downhill - amazing on the steep stuff -simplicity of having only 2 modes (also a con) - with the motor off it pedaled like a regular non-ebike Cons- 630 battery. I have the extender but I think 700-720 is kind of the sweet spot for batteries in e-bikes. - Only 2 modes. If you wanted to save on battery you have to press the button on the TCU to “service mode” so you don’t get assist - derailleur is connected to the battery so you can’t shift unless the bike is turned on. You can bypass that if you wanted by putting in a Separate battery. - pedal strikes. Not sure if it’s me having to set up my suspension better/correctly but I’ve noticed a bit more pedal strikes riding this bike on trails I don’t normally have any pedal strikes. Other notes- I haven’t been able to find the right water bottle cage for it yet. Currently using a fidlock but I have to hang my bottle upside down to get it to fit right - when you install your bottle cage make sure the bolts aren’t too long. If they are way too long they can push into the battery. Hope this all helps !
@@mark124567I’ve never ridden a Bosch but for the most part it does. There’s a point where it doesn’t when you’re climbing and you’re trying to re-engage the assist. Not sure how to explain it. And it could just be a tweak of the settings too
@@peet013 Thanks for all your input. My order is almost a month out still, im in nor cal and considered driving up to Washington for a test ride. But after your comments and some questionable reviews online I think I might cancel my order all together. Thanks again.
Yeeeee 🔥🔥

@@peet013 Thank you for that! Does the motor feel powerful like a bosch unit?

@@mark124567Which part of NorCal are you from? If you’re close to my local trails you’d be more than welcome to give it a spin
