Emtb is the best evolution on mountain bike, we have getting old folks who still wants to bike, late bloomers mid age giuys just starting to mtb and those who are injured and still wants to have fun on bike. I have analog bikes and always welcome men on their 70s overtake me on trails on their emtb. I just dont like Surron bikes on bike trails its so dangerous a 150lb e motorbike hits you may kill you
My turbo levo got me into road biking, which is the greatest thing to ever happen to me. I ended up hating the
Mtn bike experience but loved being
On the road. Several bikes later I’ve got a tarmac sl7 expert and literally a gift from god.
Nice!! My Scott E Spark was on the show 😍😎💪🏼 Thx guys! Love the show!!
Love this show!
Thanks for continuing to watch 🤘
Thank you
You're welcome
Great to catch you in person filming some new toys in FOD yesterday just as I was starting my first ever coaching session after all these years which I fully recommend to anyone no matter how good you may rate your skills - although it was a stark contrast to the weather in Taiwan😆
Looking forward to seeing your thoughts and feedback on the new bikes (note, no spoilers!).
Great content as always Steve 😎
Ha great to meet you Steve and Rachel! You were in good hands with Sam. Let's get that vid rolling!
The VMG Typhon is so good. Bang for buck nothing beats it.
Yeah - but it looks like it was beaten with an ugly stick
I looked at the sizing chart and I always take a large in frames, but their scale is a medium. Apparently in that part of the world 6' is below average? LOL. Also didn't see any total weight but guessing it's a 55 lb+ bike.
Question, as far as handling, would you notice much of a difference between a levo sl alloy with range extender vs. a levo carbon, say expert trim? I'm thinking they have to be close in weight.
My giant bike was made in Holland. Some bike companies making bikes in Europe too 💚
Interesting, wonder if will be available in USA
It's worth an Email 👍
£3600 for a custom build with the 510 motor...Nice..Might be my next bike..Ha!
Love my Bafang Motor on my Bike......160Nm 1100 Wh battery I can ride easy 30-35 miles with 3-4000ft of Climbing!
Anybody know when there bringing out the new levo comp full power
No news on a new full power Levo sadly!
they're vs there
Last I checked...almost Everyone involved with e-bikes knew about Bafang motors....🤔
As a heavy big guy who rides a levo. I wince to think of the damage I would do to a 50nm motor. That would be so difficult for me to ride after riding a levo for so long.
It could be worth giving one a go at a demo day if there are any near you? You might be surprised 🤘
@@embn I live next to Specialized US HQ. So the local store they own has demos. I just am not a fan of half the power because some of the trails i'm on are nearly 30 degree climbs. Not sure I could make it up them on the SL. But maybe one day.
@Steve, why not do a video on weight by comparing which is better: saving 3 kg on a light-assist bike (cost £££££), or losing 3kg in weight by dieting (effort+++++) ......!
Great idea! We've found that a lighter rider on a heavier bike feels slightly more like a passenger on the bike compared to a lighter eBike. This could be because the centre of gravity shifts downwards the heavier the bike? 🤔
What's the best emtb forks ??? Help ✌🏼
Depends on what you do
@@ChristianPareATLAS enduro trails, few jump parks, i know a bit about suspension, just that there's a lot of new about! Stuck between rockshox zep ultimate or lyrik
@@goingfarwebb26Depends on how much travel and what bike you want it on as well. A good starting point would be 140-160 travel, I’d probably go with fox 36 or lyrik, 160 and up, fox 38 or zeb. Of course there’s some leeway either way, and depends on how rigid of a fork you want, how you ride, and your weight. 160 i think can go either way with 36 or 38 fork.
@@ryanmichels2981 thanks 👍🏽 i ride a ebike specialized turbo levo alloy 2022, suspension its came with is nasty 🤢
There are great deals on a lot of Levo models now... its a great all rounder for most people. Powerful motor, big battery, great all round package, and fantastic ecosystem to connect with your phone etc.
Yeti bikes are made in Vietnam. Not all bikes, most bikes aee made in Taiwan
Do you get paid for doing your job Steve? If so, can I have your job please? Don't really care what the salary is, just sign me up for the globetrotting, riding EMTBs in beautiful places and talking about them. Dream job.
Not so funny you say that EMTB is a different sport from regular MTB, cause I’ve heard it before…SO, my 1,500 watt max power hardtail with a throttle is a different sport from a “normal” EMTB. And I’m using a Sturmey Archer 3 speed with a KMC fat single speed chain. Frame is NOS 2013 GT Zaskar 26”.. 26” front X 24” rear. So when I can save up, going to 27.5 X 26” wheels.
That does sound more like a motorbike than a mountain bike 😂 What brand hardtail is it?
