I test rode the Zendit RRS. Great bike. I went with the Orbea Wild M20 anyway because it was available right away. It’s currently getting new XT brakes and new Oquo MC32 wheels. Will get it next wednesday. After that, I’ll upgrade to the RS Ultimate Suspension (Zeb/Super Deluxe) as soon as...

The drivetrain tensioner works even without explicitly pedaling backward—even in normal coasting mode without any intentional pedal movement, the chain is automatically tensioned on a straight stretch, or at the latest before an incline. Performs fantastic — instant power transfer when pedaling...

I bought the eightpins Stiffshifter for my XT Di2 drivetrain on the Mondraker Crafty and rode it today for the first time under intentionally tough conditions - shifting under full load in manual and M+ semi-automatic mode and in cruise shift mode both up- and downhill. Works great - highly...

New Bike Day 🤗 Wild LT M20 Magic Gold Carbon View 😎 It’s still at the dealer right now and will be getting various upgrades next week (Oquo Team Power wheelset, Vivid Ultimate shock, Zeb Ultimate fork). I also ordered XT brake levers and Galfer Shark rotors as a quick brake upgrade for better...

Changed XT Cassette (now M8200, former M8100) and XT Chain at 2100 km. Derailleur changed from XT mechanical to XT Di2 approx. 400 km earlier. Mondraker Crafty R, 120 Nm now, 100Nm since Update release date before.

On Monday morning, my other bike dealer (not my Orbea dealer), who had just returned from a major multi-brand bike trade show in the Netherlands, told me about rumors circulating at the show that Avinox is unhappy with certain aspects of Orbea’s restrictions on its motor. Rumor has it that...

My Crafty R rides incredibly well, I absolutely love it 🤗 Upgraded It with Rockshox ultimate (Zeb/Super Deluxe with XL Air Can) suspension and XT Di2 electronic shifting - now it‘s perfect for me.

In a way, that experience at the Orbea dealer was helpful—it actually reinforced my belief that pre-ordering the Raymon Tarok was the right decision.😬 I drove straight to that dealer right after—though I did get some bad news there at first—delivery has been pushed back to late July, early...

Today I had a very unpleasant visit to my (former) Orbea dealer, where I had already bought 2 bikes (Orbea Rise ltd myO, Scor 4060 ST - Full Eagle/axs wireless) and tons of upgrades, equipment, clothing, spare parts etc - easy more than 20k€ over 2 years - before I finally decided to go with...

The Raymon Tarok also comes with the 700wh battery, and i presume that they will sell a rather large number of this bike, so there is nothing exclusive about this battery

Hi Greg, here are my 2c about this topic: i totally agree with singletrackmind thoughts about improving climbing Performance by changing the Suspension: I am firmly convinced that switching from the fox suspension (Podium/Float X) to the new 2027 RockShox Zeb Ultimate Charger 3.2 (not 3.1, as...

Yesterday a LBS dealer here in germany confirmed to me the mid-june release date and that the bike will be available/can be ordered (myO) from this date 😬

It looks like something new is coming… 🤗
