Yes 100% I can just go down on the remote from eco to no assist on the Propain Sresh sl

color screen on the propain

Oui, du moins sur mon Propain sresh SL tu peux descendre jusqu'à le mettre sans assistance, l'écran reste allumé contrairement à si tu l'éteint avec le bouton central mais l'assistance coupe totalement. J'imagine que c'est pareil sur le Trek.

In really steep sections and on jumps, the MX setup might be better, which is why DH racers still use it. But like I said, most enduro racers don’t use MX anymore. Both setups are great, but it really depends on the terrain you ride. Overall, the full 29er is faster for enduro and trail...

For handling, e-bikes are heavy, so the MX setup brings back a bit of agility and makes the bike feel more playful. But overall, a full 29er is faster and more balanced for trail/enduro riding, especially on analog bikes. World Cup enduro racers all went back to full 29ers after experimenting...

The first Avinox motor was already good enough. They could have focused on reducing weight and improving range with the M2 motor, and the mid-power category could really have been under threat. But with so many people asking for more power, I guess they made the right choice from a sales...

Yes, of course SL bikes are less popular than full-power e-bikes, but I still don’t really get why so many Amflow riders come into SL threads just to explain why this segment “doesn’t make sense.” Sometimes it feels more like people trying to reassure themselves about their own choice than...

People have been saying the SL category is dying for years now… but apparently not. The new TQ motor, Bosch SX, and Fazua (despite all the issues and the company shutting down) are still proving there’s demand for lightweight e-bikes. People also need to compare apples to apples. The Amflow is...

Regarding the delivery delays, maybe they simply didn’t anticipate how successful the bike would be. After the huge industry crisis with brands massively overstocking bikes, they’re probably being much more cautious with production volumes now. The Norco Sight VLT with the TQ motor also seemed...

If anyone is interested here is a little review about my Propain Sresh SL: I’ve ridden the bike several times now and can share some feedback: It’s really capable for a “trail” bike. With my setup, it feels more like an enduro bike though (Zeb ultimate 170mm and vivid air ultimate). I tested...

I think TQ had already announced that several new bike models using the TQ HPR60 would be unveiled this year. We should learn more during Eurobike in June. The HPR60 is a fantastic motor honestly.

Pro e-enduro World Cup riders are limited to 750W. Watching them on power stages, it’s crazy how much they can do. So why do so many people want 1200 or 1500W? Most riders, even pros, can’t really use that kind of power. At some point, it’s not about rules. Bikes still have cranks, and when...

If TQ is really working on a new motor, that would mean brands have to redesign their frames and redo production for bikes that are only a year old. I don’t really see the point. Trek, Propain, Norco, and Yeti seem to be doing pretty well with their current TQ-powered bikes, so it would be...

The HPR60 is not even a year old yet, so launching an HPR90/100 already would be a pretty risky move in my opinion. It would instantly make their current flagship system feel obsolete, especially considering how much praise the HPR60 has received from both users and reviewers. Of course I could...

It's more likely that bikes with the HPR60 are selling well and that brands didn’t overproduce them (the industry is still struggling with excess stock). For example, the Norco Sight VLT sold out pretty quickly. I also don’t really see why TQ would completely change its brand image by switching...
