That's quite an assumption to make.

I think this bike was being developed before the new Reign was released so I don't think it's a reaction to the response to the Reign. It sounds right up my street though (assuming that it doesn't have crap XC geometry and is reasonably lightweight). I love my Reign but it's a heavy old beast...

I'm glad you said that @Rob Rides EMTB . I thought I was losing the plot after being at a UK dealer launch recently when they told us the only way to change it to full power was to replace the motor etc with the normal non RS Avinox stuff. Good that they listened to the feedback anyway, they...

So a 21.?kg figure for a Wild LT with 600wh battery is probably realistic then. Someone asked about range extenders and the Orbea people just said no.

Yeah, they were talking about the OC branded stuff at the presentation that I was at. I'm sure that you're right @skizzian, it'll be the RS e dropper.

It's a fair point but there is a degree of diversity in the way that people ride, the terrain that they ride, who their riding peers are and their personal preference and abilities that makes any number of opinions valid. I stated a while ago over in the new Giant Reign thread that I'd happily...

Good to know Rob, thanks.

170/170 iirc.

Honestly, who knows? I guess most people have an agenda to some extent. I really enjoy Alex's content though, I like the way that he's doing some back to back testing with different motor systems (although there are obviously still a lot of variables when the motors are in different bikes). His...

Well I think that Alex has hinted that he thinks that most bike testers are being "influenced" by DJI to say that they prefer the Avinox and not to do a direct comparison between (for example) Bosch and Avinox motor performance and power traits. To be fair I have also read that some people think...

They quoted 21kgs but that'll be the top spec bike in a size small I imagine.

This is the impression that I got as well. The Orbea guys genuinely seemed to think that the RS tune would be better than the stock tune. They said that (despite the drop in peak power) they've made the motor more reactive to rider input than the Avinox tune and that it would feel more potent in...

That's what they told us. The whole 750w thing did cause consternation among some of the dealers that were present who were citing the same concerns that have been apparent on here (why would you buy a 750w Wild LT off their shop floor when it was stood next to a full power Avinox bike?) The...

Release date is tomorrow so I'll spill a bit more info about it. Despite the RS tune being restricted to 750w, the bike does have a boost function which gives 1300w for one minute. Somebody at the presentation that I was at asked them how quickly you could hit boost again and they said that...
