Enduro Bike Vs E-Enduro Bike | The All New Canyon Strive:ON What's The Difference?

[@gmbn]

Does the Canyon Strive:ON finally make you want an E-bike?! 🤔

[@yashkelkar]

Sure

[@willgrange2823]

no, love my hardtail too much

[@fourutubez7294]

No. Is your Emtb channel failing so badly that you have put it's advertorials on this channel ?

[@mentaltrafficnz]

No thanks, will stay with my analogue version, the e-version is sooo ugly (and I don't need the help to climb a hill, yet...).

[@anitalandkroon]

Nope 🙃🙃

[@jaypopsti]

Seems like GMBN and EMBN are slowly merging into one channel.

[@HelloHello-gv2gg]

Keep listening to the sounds mkay.

[@aggropa]

Canyon: Please release the Strive:ON for order in the United States. I want to order one now. I'm stuck between buying this bike and another because I don't want to miss riding this summer. Excellent job on moving to Bosch; that is why I didn't order a Canyon in the past. I would also like to see the Bosch on the Torque:ON.

[@thealchemist794]

I had a new heart valve last September & there is no way I would have been able to get out & about so much on my analogue bike. I did have a Scott Aspect but then after my operation I bought my first emtb, a Turbo Levo. I think just getting out wherever is the point regardless of what you're riding & enjoying it.

[@gmbn]

It's all about having fun on bikes at the end of the day 👍

[@yuglobalcitizen2246]

That regular Strive looks really good

[@janclark8438]

Love my ebike for all types of riding. Just getting more laps and riding done than I would ever manage on a normal MTB.

[@phantombigballs8165]

Mee too 46 now can still ride like I'm 26. Got a 900wh battery in my spectral done some 70mile epics. I still ride my normal MTB but 25 miles on that and I'm done these days... burning more cals on the longer rides on the emtb.....

[@ohride_mtb]

Also Canyon made Enduro-like Bikes before the Strive. We considered the first Strive actually more of an All Mountain option with its 140mm. Enduro Bikes were simply called Freeride Bikes and had 160-180mm travel and yeah, a shitty geometry :D

[@LoneOakWoodworks]

This is supposed to be an enduro bike comparison, but for the gnarly downhill you only rode one bike and didn't make any comparison between the two?

[@MikeOfNight]

I love my 2014 Strive, but my asthma made me stop using it since a small climb would ruin my day. This thing looks like the solution for getting me back on the track. I want it, I need it, now! ❤

[@m4tzeeh]

E-Bikes are nice, but unfortunately out of my reach with how much they cost. My job also doesn't offer leasing one so I'm all out of luck I guess. But I could just buy a car for the same money anyway.

[@aasimmons]

But you can't drive a car on the trials!

[@joshuaallswang8016]

@@aasimmons lol yes you can! Just different types of trails! That’s why they make off road vehicles buddy!😂

[@liamhobson5407]

I have both emtb and normal and tbh I’d rather ride my normal mtb, yeah emtb is fun but I mainly only use it if there’s quite a few hills on my ride, other than that normal bike all the way

[@Dannyjones1]

If you haven't tried an EMTB, it's a must. They are all unreal these days. Not like 4 or 5 years ago...

[@dominickkm5125]

It also changed so much in fact that it changes who can do mountain biking now. Old age? Not the most physically fit? Looking for a good time? And EMTB all the way! Just ask my 50 year old dad who I drag up 2000-3000 foot hills every weeknd 😂.

[@Dannyjones1]

@T Bone I have a 2022 Levo turbo and the motor is sensational. Crazy what I can get up with that thing. It feels nimble and playful going downhill too. I sized down purposely.

[@bladerr900]

Got to be electric for me ever since my motorcycle accident I find it hard to ride analogue bikes so give me EMTB every time I have a Cube hardtail atm

[@JordiMoll]

For me the key of having an Ebike is to have two bikes in one. A Downhill bike for descents and a good bike to the Hills. Is like going on bikepark by yourself.

[@christiandruan]

I recently got my first ebike, they are loads of fun but still have some draw backs. In the steepest terrain you can definitely feel the difference in weight on an ebike. To me it feels like the back wheel wants to slide out/around more. On an amish bike I never have any issues controlling the rear end. The ebike is much harder to "correct" and control. It takes a lot more effort to get the bike to do what you want it too. Ebikes are fun but they're not going to be replacing regular bikes. If I'm riding the gnarliest of trails I still want my 30ish pound enduro bike.

[@LastAphelion]

Have you tried a more serious softer compound tire? And what wheel size, I'd have to go 27" to gain more control over it. I get you tho, pros way more fit than I'll ever be say they're so much more exhausted climbing on ebikes, yet people still call them lazy ez motos

[@christiandruan]

​@@LastAphelion Bike came stock with DD 2.4 in the rear. Gonna run the widest tire I can back there for the next tire.

[@LastAphelion]

@@christiandruan Maybe something like a Schwalbe Downhill super soft

[@stevethomas6479]

Love my emtb 2023 giant rein been mtbing 20 years now this allows me to do hill repeats more & Iam now getting faster down hill

[@brocwavra8813]

So I am getting my Strive on underdog on Monday. The customer service convinced me to buy the Medium although all my Santa Cruz and Levos are large. I love the levos size and my Bronson feels a little cramped in cockpit. Am I going to regret buying the Medium being 5’10 with a 30 inch inseam.. Thanks for the help.

[@timmayers4965]

Mine arrived yesterday. The bike turned up in crap condition tho, scrapes on the frames all over and I don’t think it happened in transit. I’ve complained and awaiting a reply. What was the condition of yours on arrival please? 🙏

[@phantombigballs8165]

My strive ON has been shipped today 😊

[@RedWingsninetyone]

How do you make it better? "Add batteries and a motor." We have very different definitions of better.

[@8o8ertmtb]

My definition of better right now would be to take bikes like the Transition Smuggler and make them cheaper so I can have more bikes. Having a motor bike is not for me.

[@mtbdon2009]

Are the Strive:ON's even available? Can't find anything on their website...

[@GUY-on-Earth]

Strive, Spectral, or Torque? 🤔

[@MaytunsTv]

Have you ever tried or know the BOXER wimcycle? if you have or not please review

[@Mmtwgr]

Mountain bike vs Ebike.

[@BikeParkLane]

I would only buy an ebike for shuttling, even then i think it would null the DH. Just kills you watching them blast up the hills but its about quality rather than quantity of runs

[@kaltonian]

God know's untill ridden both, either way judging by the price i expect 110% performance from both, however knowing Bosch motors the ebike will be outstanding compared to past models as manufacturers have put a lot of hours into designing the ebikes of today & very doubtful you would be disappointed

[@goonswarm007]

There’s a new trend analog bikes. Created by the slow down peoples who want enjoy the travel in slow motion.

[@gazzas28]

[@_Zane__]

I'm not really a fan of having an expensive consumable part like a $1000+ battery

[@aasimmons]

How often does one realistically replace those $1000 batteries?

[@jmo2752]

It's not really a consumable part in the same way as tyres and chains are... you should get a good few years out of a modern eMTB battery before you'd ever think it might need replacing, and only because it isn't holding it's charge for quite as long as when new.

[@LastAphelion]

[@andreijorda4598]

You didn’t even ride it DH. Ofc emtb is worse DH. Worse doesn’t mean useless or bad but 10kg weight is never positive on a bike.

[@_Jake.From.Statefarm_]

They add lead in downhill bikes. I like all my bikes around 35-40 lbs. My emtb is 52 but it is great for long days. Can't wait to get an SL..

[@MarArraes]

[@briw4647]

I really believe e bikes are the future. , I mean 20 years of so, and they will be the norm for recreational riding. Go further, ride steeper hills and not get as tired. Awesome. The worse thing is getting disheartened. Then you quit The confidence boost ebikes give us a superb plus

[@KDog2264]

Sorry not really interested E bikes, if I was I would watch your Ebike channel. I ride a normal bike to get away from the electronics of this world, hence I would not get the electronic dropper post or derailleur.

[@CatManDoSocial]

You all have an entire channel dedicated to E-bikes. Why do you have to keep posting E-bike content here?

[@save_potato643]

Because EMBN doesn't get enough views 😅

[@jmo2752]

It is literally a comparison test between a regular MTB and and eMTB. You might have made your mind up already, but a lot of viewers might well be interested in what the actual differences are, and considering the pros and cons of both if they are in the market for a new bike - hence a comparison on this channel is legitimate content.

[@CatManDoSocial]

@@jmo2752 You make a very fair point. I would still like all E-bike content to be on the EMBN channel. It would be different if EMBN didn't exist, but it does. All of that said, I'm just one person and that's really all I expect my opinion to count for. Thanks for the reply.

I don´t get whats the difference between Spectral On and Strive On now. It´s nearly the same kinematics and look . So please don´t compare apple with pineapple, it´s not the same. Especially without shapeshifter-technology 👀

[@Echoes-]

Spectral On and Strive On are not nearly the same, take a look at the geometry, it's vastly different. The Strive On is much slacker and longer with a steeper seat tube angle.

Then people who have no idea about them will have major misconceptions about them, like they already have/do. I enjoy watching all kinds of the mountain biking.. No one here is complaining about a bunch of park and downhill races being XC riders. Embn is perfect for all the specialty stuff but having some content on the channel is a good thing.

Never.
