Length in an eMTB is a big deal affecting maneuverability. The motor adds 8-10 mm. With the added weight and then length, it can feel like you are trying to throw around a school bus. My advice on sizing is look at the reach within 15 mm of your target from an analogue bike, With the shortest...

Same

Makes sense. Mine is XX. I was riding it a lot on southern AZ so that may have been similar in terms of sand.

Has anyone had issues with chain skipping on their Transition Relay? I did and could not seem to get by micro adjusting the AXS transmission (derailure). However, it’s solved as a result of keeping the chain extra clean and lubricated (at least compared to my analogue MTB). Bangtail Bicycle in...

I have to say that is impressive. At 43 lbs an 85nm motor would be a lot of power. I would have to overcome my impression that the Rise (previous version) is not built to handle chunkier stuff. I’m the post above re testing it (previous version) at Downieville. How are they getting to that...

Very interesting. Would love to get more from you after you install the Smashpot and ride it a bit.

Everyone here who purchased an extra battery, have you had to use it yet and under what load/circumstances?

That’s cool. What did you pay for it?

I rode the Rise and Trek ExE SL at Downieville and I really exposed the way builders are making SL eMTBs right now to be lighter for marketing but not beefy enough to handle to power and speed put down on these bikes. I went for the Relay and feel Transition has done a better job especially with...

I planned to, but after a few really long rides, five hours, learned I just don’t need it. Suggest ride it a while first. The range is huge.

I bought an XL Relay and went back to swap it out for a Large. I am 6’2’’. Learning was these e-bikes add 8-10mm in length from the motor, and the bike length was just too long. Here is my full story on Relay sizing on Reddit. For what it’s worth, I also switched from mullet to 29 29, from...
