    Lightweight vs full power eMTB - Anyone experienced with both?

    I started with a Creo, then got a gen3 Levo, and more recently a Levo SL (thanks to Specialized new year promo). At this point, I’ve kept both the full fat E-mtb for group rides and the SL as my analog mtb replacement. But I sold my Creo for an analog gravel bike. Even though the weight...

    Levo Gen 2 Turbo Levo for road/gravel duties? Any guidance..

    I have both full power and SL Levo’s and i quite get it why it has been difficult for shops to sell them…. From a customer’s perspective, like why pay the same for less and some of these Levo’s cost as much as a nice motorcycle. I’ve been interested in an SL for some time but only bought one...

    Other 2022 Carbon Comp vs 2022 S-Works

    Currently own a Comp Carbon and in case anyone have tested the different Levo variants back to back , how does the Comp suspension (Fox 36 Rhythm/FloatX) compare to the Pro/Sworks (Fox 38 Factory/Float X2)? Which setup did you prefer? Also, does the Traverse carbon wheelset improve handling...

    What will be your next emtb? Lightweight or full fat?

    I have a full power emtb and enjoying very much as I get to ride further and recover much faster on my weekend adventures. But when doing short mixed surface rides around my neighborhood, even at the lowest power assist level, I feel that I don’t get enough exercise at times. With my regular...

    Who’s kept their acoustic bike and why?

    Just sharing my personal journey as I started cycling only in the past year. Among newbie friends who also started cycling only during Covid ( we’re mostly in our 40’s), I’ve observed that most of them stayed with road or gravel bikes and wouldn’t even dare to ride offroad. Understandably, with...

    To clip or not to clip

    Its almost like a flat pedal with more retention on bumpy trails. I also like the idea that i can still readjust my foot position on the pedal which gives me a much less restricted feeling. Mud sometimes get in the way for proper magnetic contact but its not a dealbreaker.

    Decoy MX Seattube length

    I think the Decoy is already a dated design by now compared to YT’s other models. I wonder if a new Decoy will be announced very soon.

    2022 Meta Power Mullet

    Has anyone received their 2022 Meta Power SX? I’m curious how it compares with the shorter travel TR version.

    Review Sena M1 helmet

    Try out the Sena M1 Evo as it uses mesh wifi instead of Bluetooth. Perfect for group ride communications

    Some thoughts after owning my first eBike 4 months later.

    Agree! In my case, I probably wouldnt have even gotten into mtb’s if not for E-bikes. I just started basic trail riding this year and my e-mtb allowed me to focus on learning without getting exhausted. I’ve gained balance skills that I couldnt even imagine 6 months ago. Unlike most people’s...

    To clip or not to clip

    I’ve been using flat pedals, tried clipless a bit, and have recently switched to magnetic pedals. So far I’m liking this setup.
