2024 Superior eXF Review | A New Long Travel, Bosch-Powered e-MTB

[@iffy_too4289]

Given that its from Bikesonline, for the price I'd be comparing it to the Marin Alpine Trail E2 and Polygon Collosus N8E (which are better specced and cheaper). Whats your opinion?

Personally I'd be looking at the Marin Alpine Trail E2 - I dig the mullet setup and the overall build kit is solid, though some folks are a bit turned off by the Shimano EP8 motor. That's a big part of the appeal with the Superior eXF with its Bosch system and clean user interface. That said, Marin has just launched a new Alpine Trail e-MTB that features the Bosch system. It's a great-looking bike, though it is quite heavy at a claimed 27.5kg! [Wil]

It's currently on sale for pre order for a smidge under $8K aud. However for the same price I'd rather have the 2025 Marin Alpine Trail E1, bosch cx, mullet, better spec and geo, like size specific stack and top tube lengths. Only downside is it weighs a whopping 27.5kgs but does come with cush core installed

Agreed Sandy! That Marin came out the same day we published our review on the Superior eXF. The geo and spec looks killer, but the 27.5kg weight is less appealing - hopefully we can get one in to test! [Wil]

It’s interesting that as soon as you see lyrik , you now think trail bike where that was hard hitting enduro just a few years ago .

What is the height of the rider in the video? And the frame size of the tested bike? How does it feel on the ride? it looks like the reach is a little bit longer, i am 5’10 so i am considering medium?

Did you get a chance to check out the full review? There's quite a lot more info in there about sizing, which I reckon you'll find pretty useful: flowmountainbike.com/tests/2024-superior-exf-review-bosch-emtb/ Hope that helps! [Wil]
