Would you race this event? Let us know!
No, but would love to ride parts of it within my own capability. Looks amazing!
Thanks for sharing this epic ride, good job!
yes definitely.
but @ 21:30, steve is smoooooth...
Is too much for me.. but really respect for those who have made it through this epic ride :)
Yes.. even without a 🔋😅
So you would need how many batteries? Seems expensive.
That ride (and race) is what the E is all about...I can't imagine doing that ride on a regular MTB...GREAT JOB (and props) to you and the team, Steve! 🍺🍺🍺
LOL, you can still ride a regular mtb where those places are..you just have to, ya know, pedal?
@@antn8387 I think, but I could be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure the emtb guys were peddling also...and they were professional racers at that ... Anyway, thank you for stating the obvious, without your wonderful insight, I may not finish this year out on a proper note ... 👊
@@timlubbers2884 where there’s an ebike, there’s always a hater lagging far behind
@@antn8387 Impress me, how many races in the Alpes have you done?
Couldn’t agree more well said
OMG for finishing that Steve, you are an inspiration for all us over 50s.
Terrifying and life changing.
Chris's challenge next.
Doing that and filming is HARD work. Well done! EPIC.
Yeah, i forgot about this part, it's double the work yeah
Steve Jones is great.. at the end when he said how many things have learned, a rider with his skills makes you think that there's always to learn in this sport in this life. Good work Steve.
Absolutely amazing video and ride Steve.
Your race partner is a dynamo on a emtb.
Well done camera team on bringing us professional quality footage..
I'm not an Ebiker but this astounded me with how much you can climb on an E mountain bike ,great video #EMBN from a #GMBN fan
Second time I watched this video. Thankyou. Well done finishing AND recording all that footage as well. Really enjoyed that 🫡👍
Fantastic, really got the feeling we were right there with you but without the sweat lol. Felt like this was a 30 second clip not 32 minutes as it was so entertaining. I just hope we get our heads out of our a&$&$ quick enough here in North America for me to be able to attend an ebike event like this in my lifetime. Well done thoroughly enjoyed this with my espresso this morning :-)
This has to be the best riding I have seen in my life wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is what I love about emtb. I love exploring trails and mountains and forests, just as much as blasting down a single track or a day at a bike park. I love going off for the day and exploring. These videos are really great motivators🤟
If I could put this video up for an Emmy (or BAFTA?) award, I would! Superb editing, directing, and camera work. Right up there as one of the best RUclips videos I have ever seen! Superb talent... Steve's a delight. Ridiculous scenery. I came away feeling the highs and lows. Etc. Etc. Amazing work guys! You've outdone yourselves this time. Keep it coming!
Off the scale, wow,wow, wow, massive congratulations on your achievement in finishing and for the awesome video👍 Thank you very much.
I would love to see a bike check on why you chose the Specialized over the Haibikes or canyon that y’all typically use! Awesome video, that race looked fun and challenging
I absolutely love these videos. Great ride guys👍 but man...,What a landscape. Simply breathtaking. Yep, people stop arguing, buy an e-bike and take a ride. I'm doing it too. And it's fun. ✌
Bloody epic Steve, loved that video. I bet Chris is gutted he couldn’t do it. You’ve absolutely convinced me that I need to...... avoid that race completely :). It was magnificent but terrifying at the same time!
The look in your eyes at the start of day three made it real just how much this race pushed you past the limit. This was an amazing video. Everyone who thinks ebikes are for lazy or disabled should be required to do the race at least once.
Kirk Dillon Asa’s bbt
Amazing. Truly amazing! It’s humbling to hear you Steve talk about still learning so much, even after your already incredible experience. Also just so inspirational for me being disabled that I’m going to push myself a bit more. Loved it! Best video yet bar far. Well done. 👍
Well done Steve, such an amazing achievement. What a beautiful place to ride yet so demanding, the beer at the end must have tasted soo good. Congratulations for finishing, WOW!
Amazing images, I can't imagine Steve stopping every time to film scenery and other bikers and getting on track again and again ! Congrats. Plus doing the challenging race itself, of course. You have my respect.
Thanks Steve, another great ebike adventure. The EMBN crew is always amazing.
Steve Thanks for showing how the Specialized 2019 battery fits in the Evoc bag. Open the rainfly compartment and like magic, the battery fits. Thanks for the fantastic video, excellent!
Pure joy to watch, with scenery, excellent narrative and of course the race. Truly excellent content! Steve, this is a work of art! Kudos!
Thank you i am a mountain bikers I live in Toronto and I don’t think I will ever ride such beautiful trails ,I am watching this and crying. Thank you sir🙏🇨🇦
What
man are u 3 wtf
Maurice is such an inspiration. I wanna be like him when I am 51. Just a majorly cool chap. Epic ride, definetely no losers whatsoever in this race. Everybody wins, pure pleasure.
These are the MTB vids I love to Watch. It looked like an epic ride!! Congrats!!!
Wow wow wow wow wow. What an epic ride and those trails and those views!!!! Well done, it must feel an amazing achievement to have completed that.....
Steve you are a f..king stud. Huge props for doing that and sticking it to those tiny guys. You are an inspiration and great entertainment.
Steve, your best video yet, congrats on putting it all together so well.
Nothing short of amazing.
Full of admiration for you Steve, to ride well at that altitude and keep filming is no easy feat. Thanks to the EMBN team for producing such a great video and hope Chris has recovered now.
We're booking our tickets to Verbier for next year!
I watch this race steve just about every month and every month my world just stops or goes to slow mo until its finished,,, 💪😊just love this place💖😍EPIC💙💙💙Excellent efforts guys💯🇬🇧
Neva saw Steve so scared🤢.
Except once, when the buffet was closed 😄😁😂🤣
This has to be the best report on EMBN so far, amazing stuff, fantastic scenes! Congrats Steve on completing it! Fabrice is great but I'm still little disappointed Chris wasn't in it 😁 It was nice to finally see several Scott's out there used in serious action, makes me like my 2019 Scott Genius Eride 920 even more 😁😍
This is what dreams are made of guys, good quality ride, with the bikes & terrain to match, not to mention the location.
Well done to all that took part.
I'm backing this upload will be the one to finally pull the last few people of the fence regarding e bikes 😁😎
What an amazing video. Congrats to all at EMBN. Spectacular to watch.. Steve Jones is a class act in so many ways..!
Fantastic race and fantastic video!
Thanks for all your e-bikes videos, they are the best of that kind!
Steve's teammate looks like the guy who did Lake Hawea Epic 95kms with one battery... Very good video and race.. More spectacular than normal mtb. Great job.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Steve, this is quite possibly THE finest piece of mountain biking cinematography I've ever seen, beautifully edited, the views, the bikes, the people... amazing, inspiring ... you've made me want to ride again after years in the wilderness 🙏...
So sick! Much respect. I think we all needed to see that. Great precursor to the emtb world championships at msa
My first look at ebikes, fantastic, thanks.
I keep coming back and watching the Amazing footage of that serious long stage Ripper. What a Ride n Race, Congratulations!
Thanks Steve, another great bike adventure. What an amazing video! Wow. Absolutely brilliant , well done,
Steve,we're talking about superlatives here, yes ... that's it!👌
Just watched again, on the last day of 2020, a year with no annual pilgrimage to the Alps.
What a cracking video. Super scenery and a great race. Issues concerning weight differences I guess but.. just so entertaining to watch.
Thanks for this. Totally enjoyed it and could almost feel being there.
I’ve only done the Italian part and it was amazing. Challenging and utterly rewarding.
Gives me so many good memories from 1999 walking around Mt. Blank. Now it's time for E-mtb.
SUPER MEGA AMAZING! THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!
Excellent effort, and really enjoyed this. Seemed to be a race full of the nicest people to be sharing the trail with.
Really enjoyed watching this. Inspirational stuff. Jonesy , as an ambassador of e mountain biking for middle aged riders, your are at the top of your game.
What an awesome experience! Thank you for sharing your epic adventure. Cheers! 👍🍻
Best video you have done. Love it. Kudos to your short term replacement. He certainly made it look fairly easy.
I live in the Swiss/French Alps area and have been toying with the idea of getting an eMTB and this video is just the final inspiration that I needed! Not sure I would manage to do anything so grand as this, but it was absolutely stunning. Off to the local bike shop tomorrow!
Leaves you speachless to see this! what an epic undertaking! kudos!
Guys, that was sick! Bucket-List-Stuff!
That was absolutely awesome . I know all of those areas from snowboarding on them so can really appreciate how hard that must be on emtb. Well done 👍
Well done Steve, one hell of an epic ride.👍👍
I got tired just watching you folks; thanks for all your hard work!
Steve! 3 days man, 3 days....sounds like you are at Woodstock! We all 'miss' stuff! you're a legend Mate!
Absolutely brilliant !!!
Man, “amazing” is not enough to say. Unbelievable adventure!
This would take me a week or more, looks absolutely epic. Well done.
You guys are NUTS! But what great footage. Who cares about placing, the fact is you Finished. I give you two thumbs up.
What's nuts about riding a moped uphill ? We seem to have washed down the term NUTS
Excellent video,i did a lot of mountain biking in chamonix many years ago,with, MBMB,amazing place,they didnt have E bikes then,great place to ride.
This is what an emtb is for! EPIC RIDE!!! 🤘
STEVE, total respect that was one of the most amazing rides ever,sorry CHRIS did not make it..You guys go above ( and alot higher ) for your channel . Thanks guys
What an awesome video. Well done Steve. Bet that was the nicest pint you've ever had at the end.
Absolutely amazing video!!!!!
dang theres so many specialized bikes at that race :D
Increíble, buenísima aventura. Excelentes vídeos 👍🏻✅
I'm Shocked at the technicalities of this trail. Incredible and very well done.
Just awsome, i wish I had this sort of tech when I was riding bikes for the last 40 years ...
Love Chamonix but I never biked there, ski and climb only .
Great Video and well done for making it all the way round..
Congrats Steve you looked really anxious at the start but you conquered it. On the other hand i thought top gear presenters had the best job in the world but in this video, you have it.👏👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing!! Looks Like the best time of the year with nice weather 👍👍👍👍
It is not about the race…it is about the Ride!
Firstly that was epic and one of the best biking videos on you tube . Can’t wait to see more stuff like this .
What was wrong with your motor mate? My levo just packed up yesterday and couldn’t fix it before race weekend :(
Awesome, hats off to the whole team
Wonderful video and really interesting. When you stopped at the watering hole splashing your face, the water looked so clear and fresh, you could bottle that it looked so good. Thank you for sharing your time with us, just love what you do. If only I was not 67, I would be out there with you.
You guys are very helpful in all you have done on Ebikes
What a great video, and what a nice guy Fabrice seemed to be. More adventures please.
That was amazing. Well done.
Great video, I so enjoyed every minute 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Perhaps I would yes, never tried such a distance but with a group and organized race I wouldn’t hesitate 💪🏻
Thanks for sharing
Amazing landscapes. I love the Alps.

Well done Steve, what an awesome challenge.
Just epic Steve! Well done. And definitely yes I would race that too

What a fantastic film. Those bikes are tough, I don't care what anyone says. Funny that the sheep legged it when they heard a Welshman, lol.
That looked like an epic adventure i have been looking at walking that route
Another blown Brose. Good work, Steve!
Very interesting, thx for sharing!
