I have been interested in the non-E version of this thing cause it's so cheap, sounds like it would be a very solid bike with the updates to it. Some people online are wary of the flexpoint suspension, but it sounds like it works really well.

It's certainly not the most refined suspension feel, but it gets the job done.

Usually new models say new next to them. Otherwise it can be tricky with them as they don’t do model years. You can check geometry.

Impressive it has an 800wh battery however for the market this is targeting, perhaps 600ish would have made more sense, making bike even cheaper and lighter.
@bikersedge6 ай бұрын
Making it cheaper makes sense. The added range with the bigger battery in my mind is worth the extra dollars and weight.

@timcoleman342121 күн бұрын
The average mountain biker only rides 10-20 miles at a time. At least that’s what I see in my area. Seems like a 600 battery would be more than enough for 80% of riders.

Single pivot is not patented. Maestro is and likely cost a lot to create the patent and design. It takes more resources for them so it makes sense it would cost more.

@@bikersedge but since it is their patent why would it cost them more? If Maestro was a third party patent then I could understand the extra cost, but as far as I know it’s not.

Because filing for a patent is expensive. Defending a patent is expensive. Sure they’re not paying royalties but they’ve certainly invested a lot of time, money and resources into patenting the maestro design. It’s pretty simple business math.

My thoughts exactly. With current sales you can get a trance or reign for the same money. This won’t be as discounted for awhile.
