Ari Bikes Nebo Peak Review - Vital's SL eMTB Test Sessions

The Nebo Peak is the first new model from Ari Bikes, the brand formerly known as Fezzari. It is the lightest e-bike the Utah-based company has ever made. With promising features and an attractive frame design, the Nebo Peak looks to signify the brand's refined new image. The Nebo Peak just squeaked its way into our Test Sessions after launching at the beginning of March. One of the newest additions to the SL category, its clean colorway and banging component spec had us eager to see how it would perform on trail.

If I was in the market for an SL bike this would be the one for me. I think they knocked it out of the park.

I have the Nebo Peak Elite and It's amazing. I made a few upgrades like a carbon wheelset from SpokeX, Freedom Coast lever blades and caliper adapters, Better Bolts, One Up carbon bar, and Wolf Tooth dropper lever. The bike is so dialed and quiet... very agile and playful. The battery life is excellent too!

It will be very nice move if ARI steps in Europe as well.

Would not be an EMTB review without the reviewers not figuring out a way to talk about range. Typical.

[@uradumby25]

It's really dependent on the person. I have a Timp Peak and have done over 24 miles on eco mode with an average mph of over 7 miles. Some other guy on a fezzari forum couldn't get over 13 or 14 (they still require some fitness and he was self admitted unfit).

[@uradumby25]

And yet another guy has done ever more than that and way more vert on eco but weighs like 150 lbs (I'm 205 and not as fit)
