Is this the lightweight ebike we've been waiting for?

[@pizza4921]

I have a mondraker crafty 2022 and I have got to say mondraker are really ahead of the game with geometry and design

The first Brand that makes a long travel, full powered bike with at least 700-750wh battery at 19-20kg, will take my money...that is what I consider lightweight emtb

Great bike, with a great drive unit, and finally mullet setup, but I'd probably swap out the coil for air based on reducing weight.

Can you give warranty times for parts in the future Rob as that would help as near £12 grand for the top spec as you did touch on the rear hanger.

[@andrewhicks9866]

Good review, awesome bike and that SX motor is amazing, shame you cant remove the battery, would be awsome if you could swap out the 400w for another, proper all day bike for those of us who also like a bit of power. Same with the Whyte eLyte, would be awsome if you could replave the battery on that one as well. Someone out there has to do it soon. Either that or I need to win the lottery so I can have two of them for an all dayer at BPW with no uplift

[@avialboim4721]

You can't just set cadence for peak power in software without changing the Torque as Power equals Torque x Cadence - They probably didn't want (or couldn't) let an increase Torque option in order to save battery (that's why this motor is smaller an lighter)

Nice looking bike, the seat post insertion depth looks problematic tho, The Bosch system controller really needs a tiny screen showing the battery percentage, the LEDs are distracting and the Kiox is ugly.

[@chickenclips]

they do have a new display for the handlebar so you can remove the kiox if it really makes you throw up that much

[@j_e_d]

​@@chickenclips It's not just the aesthetics, when mounted on the bars it's more prone to damage. Specialized and Sram Powertrain have the right idea, would be nice if Bosch did similar as their motors are on many more bikes.

Wait so let me get this straight, It is ment for big mountain riding with steep hills etc, however they made it light by just putting a ridiculously small battery in sure thats saving weight, but now your just stuck with always having to use the range extender. Meanwhile the entire industry is imploding so make the price so high no one would buy it anyway. This channel will never say anything bad about a product they recieve ever.

How come you're watching an ebike channel when you have all the answers already? I've got 2 Mondrakers and would be happy to buy this as well. You don't need the battery for descents.

[@andywmoffat]

Fitness and fun. I don't want to sweep over downhill tech without feeling it on a full fat ebike and I don't want the added weight making it harder to ride in my narrow technical trails. My lightweight ebike weighs 17kg and has 60nm of power which equals lots of fun. It can also be easily ridden with the motor switched off or if I run out of battery. My lightweight weight ebike perfectly compliments for Trek Roscoe 9 hardtail ;-) Full ebikes are like a different sport entirely, whereas the riding experience of a light weight eeb better imitates an analog bike.

Comical. There are E MOTOCROSS bikes that are cheaper than this. Who or what is this bike for in the first place? SUPER Enduro looks a heck of a lot like DOWNHILL to me . The smaller the battery is the less time you have to use it. Because there is NO break through tech that says anything different. After the mountain bike apocalypse, going down a road of creating sub categories' for E mountain bikes is absurd. Mega Avalanche only happens ONE time a year, and this is probably the only time this bike would possibly be useful.
