    New/ Fixed 2021 Brose or New Shimano EP8?

    I’d be surprised. Although there is always the possibility. Exactly my point that they won’t just catch up so more power, better efficiency, less noise, or whatever other advancements are going to me made AND making smaller when it was already small in size and quite light is a big ask. I’m...

    New/ Fixed 2021 Brose or New Shimano EP8?

    Motor won’t apparently be smaller as announcements have already been made that it will fit into to same slot and fixing holes as the E8000. This is why bikes that use Shimano brand are already releasing 2021 bikes As they won’t have to change any design aspects of the bike to accommodate it they...

    New/ Fixed 2021 Brose or New Shimano EP8?

    But I’m not talking about the E8000 I’m talking about the new upcoming motor. With Brose being the power it is and Bosch now releasing their updates there is now way Shimano are not increasing power.

    New/ Fixed 2021 Brose or New Shimano EP8?

    About to buy for the purpose of doing long weekends away. As we all know the motors on the Turbo Levo have their reliability issues, yes the customer service is great but that’s no good to me when I’m 100s of miles away and weekend is paid for with hotels etc. Is this something that’s going to...

    New 630Wh Shimano battery

    So Shimano have announced a new 630Wh internal battery (and external but for the moment I’m focusing on internal as that’s what most bikes are using and also what I want to buy). Same shape as the existing but longer so can’t just remove the 504 and slot the new in. This seems strange to me...

    Does Shimano have a 756Wh battery?

    Focus bikes have a Shimano motor with a 756Wh battery. Canyon (and others) only have 500wh. I can’t find any details on Shimano batteries larger than 504Wh. Can someone shed some light on this for me please.

    Canyon Spectral On 7.0

    So you’re still getting a good 50k of riding in on more technical stuff rather than just flat riding? That still seems ok to me. I’m a beginner but I’d like to get into some reasonable off road riding and just don’t want to regret not buying a bigger battery. Do you reckon you could still do an...

    Canyon Spectral On 7.0

    Was that trail riding or mixed? Surely that was eco mode the entire time too? Still good I think though.

    Canyon Spectral On 7.0

    Looking at buying my first emtb in the next few weeks and was hoping on some advice. I’m looking at a Canyon Spectral On 7.0 and want to know some opinions as there are no upcoming demo days or shops for me to try so I’m buying a bit blind. Slightly anxious about only having a 504WH battery too...

    Canyon Emtb Advice

    Hi guys. Finally figured how to write a public post so here goes my first post on what looks a pretty cool forum. I’m looking to get back into riding from when I was a kid (nearly 20 years ago and wasn’t very good then anyway). Looking at buying my first emtb in the next few weeks and was hoping...
