I'm keen to hear from you, do you like e-bikes? And if so, what is your preference for power, battery, and travel? I don't think I've found my perfect one yet, but it's fun trying! Sorry about the knocking sound on the descents - I had a little helmet/glasses contact going on 🤦‍♂

It certainly is playful. Very un-ebike-like!

That trail looks amazing :)

Great stuff mate, I feel like I will fall into the same category, ideal ebike would be more the bullit but lighter. Reckon when they bring that out I may have to descend to the dark side 😅

I think with ebikes being around for a while now, one of my 1st questions to people looking to buy one is, what do your mates ride? if they are all on full power, then go full power. But you also nailed it with the guy that wants to ride with faster guys on analog's but doesn't have the fitness to keep up with them. Nice review Craig, did you leave Mitch's settings on the suspension

Yeah that's a good point, you would definitely want full power if that's what all your mates have! I weigh more than Mitch so we pumped up the suspension, I definitely needed an extra token or two in the fork however.

Just wish fazua would hurry up and make a range extender!

The newer Specialized Turbo Levo SL is also a mullet but is 170/170. Sounds like the SL for you.

@Ooahhh 2 ай бұрын

pretty sure levo is 160/150

Do you mean kenevo? Yeah I'd love to throw my leg over one for a video but I'm not sure if they have a demo fleet

@benperd 2 ай бұрын

Ha, my Levo SL is 160/170!

Have you tried a Kenevo SL? Might tick all the boxes you were talking about at the end of video, and can be set up mullet or full 29 I think. I have a full power Kenevo and a Canyon Spectral analog. Best of both worlds I think, but definitely keen to check out a light weight e-bike when the time comes.

I haven't had a chance to ride a Kenevo SL, but it sure looks like a good option, especially with the range extender

How does the rear suspension feel? Would you say it’s plush over the rocks, and chunky stuff, but still jumps well?

@MTBMcPhee 2 ай бұрын

Unsurprisingly it's somewhere between my Tallboy and Megatower. It's quite supportive, pumps and jumps well. Not overly plush, but I suspect a larger volume shock would help with that.
