I reakon the yamaha would have to be a fun bike with the 27.5 and lower weight I seen 1 on the trail here few weeks ago looked good too Also in Oz yamaha does 1% finance

Well done for bringing out a review on well specced, full suss e-mtb’s which ordinary people can actually afford. The great thing about all of these bikes is the fact that they can all be upgraded with a better component set, at the discretion of the end user. Got to tip my hat off to Decathlon bringing to market a full phat, e-MTB for £3k or less.

This is amateur bike, and should be driven like amateurs do. What's the point of that jumping?? It's like F1 driver testing fiat panda full power, simply stupid.

Great video. Now please do a round up of emtb hardtails that are under 2500. Radon, Cube, Ghost, canyon, mondraker. They all have great e hardtails but nobody does reviews on them

Well done for reviewing bikes that ordinary people can afford.

Now what would it take to turn the Rockrider from a good bike to a great bike? I’d start with the brakes and tyres.

There needs to be more videos like this. It just opens the door to most people who are considering getting an ebke. I would love to see a round-up of the entry level bikes

I payed £2500 for a cube stereo hpc 750 brand new . Better value by a mile than all these bikes. Shimano deore, magura mt thirty, Shimano domain 160 , carbon Frame......

The test winning bike was great with the exception of two major issues on a brand new bike.... ok

That Yamaha's cables make me feel uneasy. Great review though.

Good stuff guys! My critique of all of your reviews would be to always mention if a bike doesn't have headset cable routing and highlight that as a huge feature and vice versa to bikes that have it and loudly call them out for it.... the larger MTB media like yourselves needs to help get the message out to the incompetent frame designers out there so this ridiculous kool fad disappears on their next frame release. We consumers can speak with our wallet to drive it home.

Great vid - good to see some cheaper emtb getting some coverage . Not a lot of people can afford or justify £5k plus bikes . Where are those trials - nice shaped berm !

Good video

Let's see if that Bosch motor is still working in 3 years time...

Are the motors any more reliable though?

I have a 2019 capra 27.5 which was 180 travel. Really wish the shock had a lock out. Those wings were on both sides on my frame with no water bottle option. I also out a DD casing on the rear cause it came with exo casing tires..... but i got mine as a leftover xxl frame right before they updated the bike for $2300. Amazing value for what you get

SL .. best of both worlds

What is that the stock rear hub?

I take the Orbea RISE H20 over that

What does the spacer actually do?

Way too soft, or he way too strong

Wow, great review had my eye on a sender for a while ,

450watt*(60s/min)*(1rev/(2*pi rad)/(60nm) = 71.6rpm The fazua becomes power limited in boost setting at 71.6rpm The Bosch is at 104rpm, but it makes more torque than the other motors 78.13rpm If you are above 78.13rpm the Bosch will always make more torque than the other motors including the fazua in boost

how tall is the rider?

It doesn't say in this short video how much it is? Nor in the description. How much is it?

But how much is it? It’s amazing how years ago anyone could be a mountain biker now you have to be rich unless you buy second hand.

However, I do feel that a firm handshake and good solid eye contact between you both will really make the moment before you drop in.

You guys finally got your hands on some BBC archive FX hardware, that 'Rentaghost' bike arrival was superb.

Looks awesome ngl

Which direct mount stem are you using?

No This is the Torque Mullet Al 5 I have the same one 😊😊😊

Love riding in Switzerland, but cannot afford it unfortunately. Spent in 1 week in Verbier, what I would spent in 3 weeks in Morzine. Riding great, but unaffordable for most unfortunately 😕

As a 6'7" rider, would you recommend the XXL frame Capra in an MX or 29? Does the "playfulness" of the MX still translate to an XXL size frame? My current bike is an XXL 29" HT, my previous bike was an XL 27.5 HT. Not looking to do anything extreme, but i want to ride a little more aggressive and take all of the side hits I dodge on my hardtails. Thank you.

It’s nice but it’s not an eMTB

👍Soo true, everything in moderation 👏

👍All my five Emtb's has now 170mm Öhlin 36, Fox Factory 36, Rockshox Ultimata 35 forks, they had 140mm - 160mm before. The rear damper has I change from 210x55 to 216x63mm och change the flip-chip. All bikes hav strait through XTR groups wit chort gage and 10-45T casset, 200mm rotors with 4-piston brakes on my havier bikes and 2-piston brakes on my three real light weight Emtb. The all have the same geometry, same XTR clip pedals, same seat, same Newman 750mm handlebars. I bough five range extender that I never use, only one extra 500wh battery fore my first bike. These bikes are so light weight witch no trimbox needed and you often cycling with the bike on the off position (what you don't with a havier Emtb do), that makes you to cycling against the battery range and get fit instead of high speed and get stressed. There is no point to weigh these bikes, just love how easy they are to handle fore a 59 year old guy like my❤️😁

👍One "trick" that's works is to rebuild a Fox 36 fork from 150mm to 170mm by change the Air Shaft and try to find a damper 216x63mm (that not is easy to find), instead of the orginal 210x55 damper. Then you have a Enduro instead of a Trail bike, without a massiv over weight😋

12000€?! WTF!

How about that aluminum 19 kg Orbea? It undercuts this Canyon by quite a bit. A 2023 model, which is still in the stores, retails for 3500 GBP...

Whoa!

How do both forks compare in normal trail riding and touring? Can normal people feel the difference?

Pointless. 1200km ridden over 6 month and considering chain wear? I do that millage on a good weak on my mullet gravel ride. Regretting watching this.

£1500 for a riding holiday ? We shouldn’t be flying anyway, we have a planet to save. Or is that a local holiday ?

That's a neat hack I'll use this as a last resort when I attempt changing my own tyres next! One thing I will mention from my research, is don't necessarily expect the tyres to hold pressure well without sealant in there yet, because without it, not all rim and tyre combos seal perfectly together. If the tyre looks to be evenly seated all round, that's a good enough sign for me 😊

The should've called it Canyon Euron Greyjoy

Orbea rise is cheaper, do better research 😉

Right. Right.

Honda

Can I test ride bikes there

Capra
