Thanks for posting this one as I’m waiting for my Amflow to be delivered this December. At least I know it can do a big hit! Although I cannot do half of that Jump but at least I know that this bike is capable of doing that big stuff.. please can you make another video review in regards of durability as well as pros and cons.. thank you
Sick riding, cant wait for a shock and bearing report on thebpodcast down after a few months!
Thank you! And yessir fingers crossed it should be all good!
Driver and bike survived,
great riding skills, love it😮👏💪
I take a closer look tomorrow at a Testdrive,
not a Testfly 😂
Jesus, mad skills.
awesome riding and wicked to get a follow cam of Luke, WindHill misses him :D
Not the most obvious test ground for the new eeb ;) enjoy!!
@@GeezeILoveMTB thanks bro! And yeah he was THE man at windhill 😎 cheers for watching!
Braking bumps the size of cars in there
gave my brain a shake
3:20 I consider you as a really good rider, it's nice to know you also think that is a large jump... because it is. On video it doesn't look big but in person it is. When visited Whistler that was the only jump I was skipping on A-line and the wind always seem to blow through that spot. I don't feel so bad for skipping it now!
Thank you bro, and yes the camera makes everything look smaller for sure! That jump is fast too... luckily all the jumps on A-line are built well so you already know you're gonna be fine with the speed you're carrying, but there are still a few intimidating take-offs in that trail for certain!
Cheers for watching :)
The face of food approval
Big sends haha! 🔥🔥
@@wm05eb so much fun!
The amflow seemed to hold up to some really rough conditions there. Really hard to find proper riding reviews of the amflow models at the moment on youtube. Granted we all know it has a great battery and motor but im more interested in how it actually rides on a variety of trails. Its whats holding me back from dropping any money on it. DJI is a huge company so can only assume their warranty, service etc would be upto par as their other equipment and other wheel known brands. The reviews that are out there comparing the motor power and battery life seems to beat everything in both power and ride time. But if the thing rides like a costo $250 bike then whats the point? Hoping some of these types of ride characteristic reviews come out soon.
how are the factory wheels? quality-wise. are they hodling up good enough?
Whats the differences between the silver/grey and the black amflow . Big price difference. Im toying with going for the one you are riding if not much difference. If you can ride whistler on it , I'll ride what i ride easily lol
@@markwaughman2842 mainly just the spec, so the black one has carbon wheels, carbon bars, sram T type transmission, factory suspension etc... not essential upgrades at all but if you wanted the top spec, that is the one to go for!
Do you not find it difficult if you need an extra crank pushing against the speed limiter?
didn't happen too often on this trail really, but yes once you get past the limiter and need to pedal it is ofc not as nice as riding a normal bike, but as long as you know the speed limit u can anticipate when you're gonna need to crank harder than normal in circumstances like those!
Will, great riding. What do you think of the bike is it as good as the heckler sl and levo sl? Would you recommend going to 170 on the front? Thank you
Thank you! I haven't ridden a Heckler SL, but i have ridden a Levo SL and it feels very similar to ride, as they share similar geo etc... this thing just has a huge amount more power, and more battery life too, not to mention a load of other pro's... However with the bigger brands you're getting the years of experience, tried and tested products, amazing customer service etc... which is why i think some people are hesitant to consider Amflow because they're obviously so new to the market.
Obviously it's still early days but honestly can't fault either of the Amflow models i've ridden so far, more travel would be nice for situations like these when you're lapping the bikepark, but for me, the majority of the riding in the UK will be fine with the standard suspension.
Would defo love to stick a 170mm fork and a coil on it at some point though to see how it rides, would be a pretty significant change i think... but of course would increase the weight a little bit as well which is one of my favourite features of these bikes in the first place.
anyway hope that helps a bit, and thanks for watching the vid... i appreciate it!
@willgreenfield thanks for the reply. I can see rob has already built one with 170 forks and a dhx coil. Can you please ask him about uploading his review of that bike on the next podcast please!!!!!!
On Rob's podcast you mentioned only that brakes were the point which let you down on this bike. Can you elaborate please?
@@SergejGrabun hey! Obviously a lot of this is personal preference, as i know a lot of people love maguras... but i'm not a fan of the lever shape/feel, and one of the reasons why, is because i feel i have to be pulling the lever very hard to get a good amount of braking power (could be helped with bigger rotors, but this is a lightweight trail ebike after all) also as soon as the brakes got wet on a recent ride i was unable to continue with confidence. I've seen magura make the nicer loic bruni style levers for these brakes, which would probably help quite a bit, but they're expensive so i'll probably end up just getting new brakes at some point, probably Codes or Mavens... hope that helps
Wait!!! you got both versions!!!??
Amazing :D
No issues flying to canada with it?
This one i borrowed whilst i was in the US/Canada!
Still don't think theres a solution for flying with an ebike sadly :/
@@willgreenfield Ah that's what I thought for flying.
Well if the guy that owns it wants to sell it let me know! Ill buy it :D
Does not seem to be quite ready to be sold in canada.
there is no issues flying to canada
@@BumbleDrone1 well it's 4x the maximum allowed battery limit if you fly commercial.
How do you get it here then?
@@sampep We have a professional logistics team
Any issues with the shock? One thing I don't understand with these frames is why they went trunnion when they had the space not to.
No issues after a week in bellingham and whistler, and no issues on my personal bike after a few rides in the uk! I agree trunnion surprised me but all been fine so far 😎
What do you think this would be like with a Fox 38 180mm fork on it....???
Think they only rated for upto 170mm. Supposedly a few people thing 38s might increase frame flex but that's just online talk
What do u think of this bike now?
@@Centintin love it even more honestly, rode this model for a week in america/canada and couldn't fault it... obviously a bit more travel would have been nice in the bikepark but 🤷♂️
What would u change and do you think the Frame is built for bikeparks? It only has the Level 4 permission, I have concerns about the carbon frame…
Waiting & hoping the come to the U. S
would be cool!
@@willgreenfield yeahhh come stay with me !!
