Man, I think you should mix in some Pro points, especially on specific skills. You've done a few points in the past but I think this format in your backyard is more relaxed. Things like bike set up and why, cornering, setting up for jumps, and drops, etc.

LOL, so much hate for the ebike in some of the comments??? What about the 99.9% of us who can't go to Whistler or jump on our MX bike? As a dad of 3 kids, wife to keep happy and 2 jobs, ebikes are literally a time machine. 2 hours night ride a couple of times a week is more than I could ride in a whole weekend on a traditional bike. Let's try and be a bit more open minded... however, don't get me started on Surrons riding up the DH trails :(

That’s the best argument I’ve heard so far. That E-bikes allow you to get more laps in set period of time. I just bought my first bike after having to rent for years. It’s a solid full suspension trail bike that I’ll have for the next 5 years or so. This got me thinking of upgrade time and what I’ll go to next. I keep thinking E-bikes will have more downsides, but after this and other reviews I’ve seen/read it appears it does just as well or better than a standard bike. I thought the weight would take from the fun, but even pro’s like Remy seem to have a good time and watching the footage its a proper mountain bike experience. I can see myself being the old man and sticking with no motor power for gravity sports, maybe upgrade to carbon, but E-bikes may be an option. It’s not just that technology allows us to access more power, it’s how we channel it, and even at this stage E-bikes seem to do it well. “Assist” not motor power, with a little extra weight, but weighted down low. It’ll be interesting to see where it goes and hopefully trails won’t be full E-bike, but I suspect cost and who knows even Lithium supply will be limiting factor. Either way it’s a recreational activity for me so I’m going full fun factor. If that’s a new carbon bike that is an upgrade to me then cool. If it’s a new E-bike that are becoming popular and let’s more people enjoy the trails, respectfully, then that’s cool too

I was looking for my first full suspension bike & I ended up purchasing the previous Gen Tyee 29er. The Tyee is a great bike but I hope to try a Spindrift Mx, new Gen Tyee Mx or a Commencal SX.

An e-bike is an incredible addition to anyone’s quiver! For me it’s my “third” bike, but I ride it just as much as my trail bike. I work a very physical job, and typically only road my bikes on the weekend. Adding an e-bike has got me out for extra evening rides after work, exceeding 1000m vert, and still able to go to work strong the next day. So this means I’ll get two of three times as much riding in during the year…… why people are so down on these tools is beyond me Thanks for the video🤘🏻

I've tried many.. and they are indeed heavy; also felt and react differently on the trail than my usual big bike. As soon as the prices go down, I will own one but, not until they become cheaper than actual motor bikes... because, for the money of a regular bike and an e-bike, I can have a regular bike and a motorcycle.. basically, doing two completely different things instead of two very similar ones.

The moment when I test ride it,it completely changed my mind. If you change a different view minded of E-bike,it basically a fun bike and definitely help a lot of injured and illness people to find back the fun of the bike. I wa injured my back and dislocated arm before,can't ride my bike aggressive and not so many times anymore.Until I test ride the E-bike, it completely changed my mind. I will say I like both now, the traditional MTB and Ebike definitely are my both favourite now. If I had a chance in the future and enough budget,I will definitely consider E-bike in my wishlist.

I can work on my speed much more than on a regular bike. I truly have more fun since I don't have to work as hard on the uphill and can do more laps of my favourite trail.

I really love enduro bikes old and new. But if I Had the money I would by an Ebike. The fun part is downhill and if you don't live on bikepark or tow the bike on a trail it's a lot of time and energy wasted going uphill. You should be a Monster to do the same trail or a long day bike with a normal bike. An Ebike is a very good weapon to have fun. 90% of the people only want to have fun and most of them are out of shape. Ebike for most of the people are the best choice. Now I can ride with people on ebikes and I know in normal conditions this Will be impossible. Just Focus on positive things and the good things that this bikes gives to normal and pros. Have fun. Enjoy the ride ✨⭐

Honest question, no hidden hate (I'm keen on getting an E-bike myself)! When I see these epic trails down the mountains Remy ride I can't really imagine how you get up there in the first place. Is there gravel roads up the mountain you can ride up? Otherwise it seems like hiking and carrying your bike is the only way and then I'm assuming a light weight carbon bike is much preferable instead of a heavy E-bike?

I’m kinda weighing up getting an ebike. My dad has one and it’s unreal amounts of fun. I still prefer how a normal bike rides on the decents but I can’t argue with the fact an ebike makes up for its minor flaws on the downs with stupid fun going up. And for me bike parks and uplifts don’t exist locally so it would make sense……..but at 23 I worry I’ll get lazy with it 🤣

Great video and thanks for the run down. Any reason you didn’t go for the reverb axs dropper? It would seem a logical option with all the other asx stuff and one less cable. Also do you use the autoshift and coastshift funciona or do you use full manual gear setup? Thanks again.

I got an ebike 2 years ago and its way better to ride than a regular bike for all day rides! I can do multiple loops and triple the milage i can normally do. I love mine! And this fall i crashed my DH bike at trestle and broke my collarbone 4 ribs and tore a hole in my lung and collapsed it! I was off the bike all of october. This month ive got back on and im still getting my lungs back! The ebike has got me back out on the trail allowing me to do what i love

I like the human powered purely mechanic thing on bicycles. Ebiking is more close to moto and has not the vibe of connecting to nature for me. Even if i think emtbs are a lot of fun ,it makes me sad that so many good bikers advertise them so much. For me mtbing is about fun and adrenaline but also being alone in the nature with no need for a engine. But its my feeling and i know you guys feel different. I realy did like your content as a mountainbiker and i have learned a lot from your Videos!!! (I will never come even close in my lifetime) I wish you a good time in the ebike segment!!!!
