I think this is where there is a gap. I've had 2 bikes now. And other than first day messing, I couldn't care less about the app etc. I just want to ride the bike. I'm probably the minority, but I see it on the trails, people with phones bolted to the handlebars and go pros everywhere, I don't...

I went into the local trek factory shop in the UK. They checked the computer and said over here it looks like I could order from December for January delivery. They confirmed their system showed similar battery options to now, but double torque on the "hprx" motor. They were surprised...

I'm interested to see where this motor is compared with say the maxon weight wise. If they keep the motor around 2kg it's super impressive. Not sure if they've gone to 120nm and 2.5kg whether it offers much more than the current crop

I was in my local trek store yesterday, Didn't notice any significant discounts on the slashes and fuels, they seemed to have good stock as well...

I liked this idea a while back, but the cost of a new shimano motor is now so cheap, I don't think id bother

This sounds really interesting, I didn't really see anything from TQ at eurobike.

I saw a video of the TQ stand and there did not appear to be any mention of it....unless they plan to do it as a formal announcement, think we might be in for a bit of a disappointment. Maxon seems the only one still to me

The avinox is great, but a lot of reviews aren't really that these days. I know a youtuber that has the new amflow. In his videos he raves about it - as that's why he was given it. If you speak to him personally, he thinks it's a decent bike, but would buy a load of other bikes before it.

Just had a read through this thread. On one of the photos shared, it's showing that the Teewing frame is "category 4". How come with this amount of travel they aren't getting them rated at cat 5?

But surely in the UK at least no one can convincingly claim the surron's are not an issue? I was at the local pump track last night in a major public park. 2 w@nkers turned up on Surron's and must have been doing 50mph on the tarmac directly next to the track. The place was busy with small...

Not seen anything interesting. Just seen to be mainly fancy paint jobs so far lol

Be interesting if TQ make a 90nm motor. It would make sense seen as maxon appear to be targeting the same market as the tq60 with their motor. Tbh, if this is real, it would put the bike right on the top of my purchase list.

Yeh, I'm a bit puzzled by it, almost like a typo. The rest of it seems so well thought out

Looking at the geo chart. Main downer for me is 470mm seat tube on the large...I thought everyone was stopping doing that now with the longer droppers. Really annoying

This looks really interesting. Am I misreading this, it says base builds from 5450 CHF? That's basically £5300 GBP? Seems good value considering a velduro frame would cost that?
