Josh Bryceland's Cannondale Moterra SL | EMBN Pro Bike Check

[@kevb8828]

Problem with e-bikes (which I’m an owner of) is batteries… currently have a warranty issue with my battery but the bike manufacturer and the motor manufacturer have 0 stock which means I don’t have a bike…. Ebikes MUST start making things standard so we can buy critical parts from any shops etc as I currently have a just over 1 year old bike that I can only look at and have absolutely no idea when I’ll be able to ride again…. This needs to change now! As it’s put me right off brands who are making brand specific batteries!!!

[@shanereid5663]

That’s definitely a problem,a huge problem.

[@kevb8828]

@@shanereid5663yep! Worst this is the battery damaged itself as the battery cracked around the mounts that hold the battery in place and the bike has only been ridden well within its intended use but I have no options but to just wait… but it makes you think if you want to keep a bike for 4/5 years are you actually going to be able to get a battery for it down the line? The industry needs to be told right now that we will not accept this and motors need to produce a standard battery in 625, 750 and 900 etc and the manufacturers need to design bikes around them simple as that! Lol

[@shanereid5663]

@@kevb8828 the market is ripe for a aftermarket battery company.

[@Louskunt1]

This is a big reason i went with a specialized kenevo bike. So many of their bikes use the same motor and batteries and replacement is quick and easy for warranty, or even to buy a few years later, from what I’ve heard.

[@jcheco59]

The bottom of the issue is that the mayority of producers of motors and batteries doesn't understand the cyclists, normally only have one bike and ride it several times a week, is part of your live routines, so to stop biking for two to three months is not acceptable. That's why I have been talking about Polini motors, which is the first of user serviceable motor, that means you can fix your motor yourself if you want to, just like we do on a regular bike. They think we are buying a car. 😂😂😂😢😢😢

Great to see this episode with Josh. As a long term MTB rider and new eMTB rider I just love the new experience of eMTB. I have been reinvigorated to ride again as the uphill climb is now so much more enjoyable which makes you want to ride more often.

[@gavinsullivan9015]

I knew this would happen because the market always move but I love my Trek EXe with a 160mm front end but now I’ve seen this and it’s probably the sweet spot. All the power, same weight. Damn it…

[@david029014]

I love Cannondale! I was strictly rode Cannondales back in the super V and headstock days, had almost every model, super v, rush, prophet, jekyll, lefty fork, paint jobs were always beautiful. Looks like Cannondale is back!

[@kayakutah]

I was just on the Cannondale site. Cudos to them for listing weights by model! LAB 71 $14000 U.S. 19.5 Kg. NOT the sweet spot! SL 1 $8750 U.S. 19.7 Kg Good Value SL 2 $7000 U.S. 20.6 Kg Sweet spot! You could get a LAB 71, or you could get 2 SL 2'S But the thing I love is that they have not hidden the weights. I never thought I'd consider a Cannondale, but with this bike, I'm about 80% onboard. I only want to know if the Shimano EP 801 rattle has gotten any better!

[@andrewgreenwood8727]

Such a top bloke, love josh, he's a cool down to earth amazing rider & person. !!

[@Rui_Caridade]

I cannot stop loving Cannondale bikes, despite all the fuzz about this brand. I continue to ride my Cannondale RZ One Twenty 1 "2010" (amazing analog bike) and now my Cannondale Moterra Neo 4 "2023" (great eBike machine for the price).

[@ThoR52]

What "fuzz" are we talking about here ? 🤔

[@Rui_Caridade]

@@ThoR52 Because all the things about the brand being sold, proprietary parts, etc. For a while I stopped to see Cannondale on the spot light as in the past. But never gave up about it and continue to trust and love this brand.

[@brianorourke4530]

Great episode. Love to see such great talent.

[@Emtbtoday]

Just got high rise 38s for my cube 160 AT love them! Love the 27.5 wheels set but was just to far over the front i felt these really made this bike something else to ride now! Nice one josh

[@RobHill00]

Been saying since I was converted, the only people that hate eebs are those who haven’t tried it!🤷🏼‍♂️

[@embn]

So true! There's space for both eBikes and non eBikes out on the trail 🤘

[@marthajam]

Josh is such a dude.

[@longerranger]

Be great to know what size frame Josh is riding please. I'm 6'2 and thinking the L will be more playful than the XL...

[@tahoeebikes]

Great overview. What length cranks is Josh running?

[@Nomad-MTB]

I bought the Lab71 version of this bike. I'll have it delivered next week. The only thing I may swap out is the fox 36 to the fox 38. I'm a heavier rider at 210 geared up. I ride mostly desert terrain with some pretty gnarly downhill. That said, any opinion on swapping that fork out?

[@Cassienope]

Did you end up swapping it out? I have a F38 and it's the first thing I'll change. I have been riding the 38 for a year and a half on a bike, so looking forward to having a little help carrying around the weight of it.

[@Nomad-MTB]

@@Cassienope Giving it a go with the Fox 36. So far it's been fine for the trials I have been riding. I am going to swap it to see the difference. I'll update when I get a ride or two in with the 38.

[@Rideoak]

He can Ride!

[@embn]

Yes he can! Have you watched this video of Josh & Chris together? 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmmbi5KZhLGFoZI

[@Rideoak]

@@embn I will! Thx!

[@AlexNijv]

i own both eletric and nonelectric. they areboth fun and electric isnt a replacement or evolution, its a welcome addition! By they way, Cannondales prices over overpriced it's 60% brand name. a a connondale rider myself, i always end up replacing factory parts for better ones on my cannondales.

[@percivalgooglyeyes6178]

He be the RatBoy!

[@mjsmjs2765]

That frame looks so similar to my canyon spectral

[@hanslomo5431]

Curious about the rear travel length. This is the only time i've heard that it's less than 150. Can you confirm?

[@Thereminator101]

Nice...

[@embn]

Thanks 😎

[@grumpytex1970]

"A moment in time' because of a sticker/graphic change on the down tube?? For that price it should be gold plated.

[@lee.j7077]

What was the problem with the scram transmission?

[@asifitmatters1]

Strange advert for Cannondale…

[@embn]

Not an advert 🤙 Just a pro bike check and catch up with a friend of the channel!

[@asifitmatters1]

@@embn cut the crap! EMBN is an advertising platform for a few select brands, that pay good money to be featured and made to look considerably better than they actually are. You guys were pushing Nukeproof like crazy, although it was clear that they were dying.
