This bike is amazing! Only complaint would be the brakes lack power for this bike. I have used both Code Rs and Code RSCs. Code RSCs are more powerful, but Code Rs are good for most types of riders and bikes. As for the Fork, I like Marzocchi Z1 just as much as my Rockshox Zeb Ultimate. This fork does not need to be upgraded, unless you are a person who enjoys messing around with multiple settings. As for the shock, I did replace it with a Marzocchi CR1. Again, I love this “budget” shock just as much as my Rockshox Super Deluxe Coil. I have a carbon Transition Sentinel V2 carbon and love it, but also realized carbon is over rated and aluminum frames are great. The Relay corners amazing and once I got used to the extra weight, I found it more confidence expiring on jumps! I have ridden everything from cross country to double black diamond trails and this bike handles it all with ease. You can’t go wrong with this bike unless you want a full power eMTB.

Bought one through LBS two months ago, they gave me a discount too so it was 4500 , then my state has an EBike rebate (many do) so bike was 4150 for me. I have heard of others getting deals on bikes through the lbs over order direct recently , worthy of checking out at least.

[@frankiesemtb]

Nice! $4150 is super deal! Definitely puts this bike in purchase range!

[@thim8009]

I would definitely save up and get the next level up to pnw alloy. Carbon would be better, but I like having 2 kidneys.

[@frankiesemtb]

the PNW alloy does have a better spec.. i also like to have my kidneys 😆

[@John_D2]

Any idea what the weight difference is comparing alloy frame to carbon frame? Thx

Rocky Mt or Intense Carbon Ebike on sale for $4k?

[@frankiesemtb]

Yes I believe both rocky mtn and intense both have on sale bikes for 4K

[@barsandrunning]

Was going buy relay but price still high opp out for rocky instinct powerplay .. but nice bike 😢

[@frankiesemtb]

Instinct powerplay is a great choice!

[@bfranco1519]

NX ? Why not use the Shimano Cues?

[@kevinc7632]

Emtb specific shifter only does one click shifting. Nx one click is ok… Having said that the cable fixing bolt on deraileur broke on mine at 3 month mark. Now has one of my old gx units i had on the shelf.

[@kevinc7632]

Performance of nx is not noticed with the drive system if properly tuned. Not like a regular bike where you get such massive improvement. Durability is questionable maybe. Weight doesnt matter things a tank 😂 wear it out swap it when you find a sale.

[@cliffsangelsphotography]

NX? Hell no. My Fuel EXe 8 was on sale for the same price with full XT. The Relay should at least be specd with GX.

[@frankiesemtb]

Agreed.. lots of builds around this price with GX.. fuel EXe is a great bike!
