just test rode one at REI....pretty nice and its $1000 less now in that silver in ALL sizes. thanks for the review guys... I may pull the trigger on this.
Have one of these on order from my local shop. I love my salsa blackthorn for its planted feel and think this is gonna be a nice compliment. Already have new brakes for it though because I knew those were gonna cut it!
It would be cool to up the shock to 180 and put a dual crown on it and see how it rolls. Maybe a head to head with the Kenevo? Still scratching my head on the 500wh battery. Why so small when the bike is already heavy.
Small battery is supposed to provide lighter weight. That's the only benefit of smaller battery. Not sure how they messed that up with heaviest bike and smallest battery.
Hey thanks and glad you enjoyed them. We try to put them in the graphics in the video so viewers can see the kg, but we’ll try to remember that for next years video series and future bike reviews.
@bfranco1519 You're right, they're for lame geriatrics and low testosterone men who buy them and then throw them out 2 weeks later because the novelty wore off and it's not really a good workout tool.
@@joehoeper4648 True. Same dude is probably driving a truck with a payment, got 99 kids, and hitting the bar every week. You can make it work if you prioritize it.
LOVE seeing the Loam Wolf Team's take on the SALSA Notch! The entirety of the team here at Salsa Cycles appreciates your time and intentionality.
Thank you so much for letting us try this thing out! We haven't ridden a Salsa, and it was cool to see where you all are at.
Does the suspension lock out firm? Thks

Hope you enjoy it! And good call!
This thing looks awesome. Very clean looking. Love the raw alloy look and they even let you run a 200mm dual crown fork!
Thanks for watching and glad to hear you like the looks and capabilities of it.
Finally something besides a press release! Does the suspension lock out firm? Thanks!!
Yes it does!
Stoked on this review. Was curious about this one.
That’s awesome to hear
I don't why there are companies making emtbs close to 60lbs anymore, especially with a 500Wh battery 😮
Really enjoying the content 👍
Much appreciated
Headset cable routing? Next!
Diy drill ports needed lol

Extra long reach geo, good on climbs for sure. That’s the second long reach bike that you test using a Medium (vs L or XL) is this a new trend?

First!!!!!!!!
Two days in a row!
Love the videos guys keep them coming.
Can you mention the bike weights in kg for us British followers 👍🏻

another ebike. shocker
Uhhh, yeah.... It's an ebike shootout. Spoiler alert, there's still 11 more bikes to come.
@@TheLoamWolf dang that sucks
Exactly - keep them coming. I kinda don't care about regular bikes anymore....
@@DB-sd3cwyou so silly. Face it, regular bikes just aren't as cool - or fun.
@@joehoeper4648 sorry about your lobotomy little dude
These E-Bikes are all for RICH people....still WAY TOO EXPENSIVE..!!!
They’re definitely not for poor whiney bums on RUclips…

I'm not rich. I have a Santa Cruz Bullit. I also don't drive a 50 thousand dollar vehicle or have kids. Priorities, homie.
