E+1 or SX ?

[Bandicoot]

Hi guys new to ebikes currently riding 2018 Scott genius 720 I like xc, enduro, gravity enduro and blue/black DH flows tracks

Just about to buy new ebike and torn between the e+1 and sx

Also are shorter cranks needed if so what size suits best?

Thanks

Love my SX pro not had a problem with the cranks yet!

I got the E+1 and I love it however if I had the money at the time I would have got the SX, don't get me wrong the E+1 is still an awesome bike especially for the money but I am now in the process of adding a bit of travel to the front and thinking of getting a coil shock for the rear as well.
Cranks are not that much of an issue for me, I have had a few pedal strikes but mainly due to my lack of technique.

Thankyou yeah there’s a big sale on at the moment so I think I will just get the sx that way there’s no future upgrades as I know I’m always upgrading other things and adding $$$

Both great bikes . I have the 1 but when I look at the 0 I get bike envy..lol

i bought a Trance e 0 and just upped the forks to 160mm, only costs about 50 euros and you end up with the geometry from the SX. Not so bothered about the coil as i like the easy tunability of the air shock.

I have the e1, wish I got the. Sx, nothing wrong with e1 just like the look and suspension of sx

I actually wanted the SX but they didn't have make/sell them in XL Still extremely happy with the E1 and will likely get the travel extended in the front and may look at a coil shock down the road......but if you were to spend the money on upgrades that you save from opting for E! over theSX, you can get a better bike for the same $$

I went from a 2017 710 plus genius to a sx and I really like the way it rides

In Canada we have the option to buy two SX bikes. I bought the SX 1 Pro which I felt was the best value which has the same shocks and basically the same bike & motor with top end Shimano components instead of Sram that are on the SX 0 Pro for $1400 less.
