Nice ! Little review of the bike ?

So, will this replace the Fuel+ or is it going to be a completely new model? Based on the spec, it looks more like a trail bike. To me, it would make more sense to keep the Fuel+ with the HPR60 and introduce a new Rail+ with the upcoming HPR120. That way, they wouldn't cannibalize the current...

The OTA update was a solid « rumour» since there were emails from tq (Facebook tq groups) talking about it with a date of release in May/June 26. But we are in july

What's your source ?

A software update is definitely something I’ve thought could happen with the HPR60 for a while now. However, 85 Nm seems like a big jump and would likely require the motor, battery, and drivetrain to handle significantly higher loads. The Bosch SX is actually a good example. After the 2025...

if it's true a tq120 will make more sens to replace the current Trek Rail+ and the hpr60 on the fuel+

Actually, it makes even more sense now that TQ has a strong platform in the mid-power segment with the HPR60. Like I've said several times in other threads, it never really made sense for TQ to launch an HPR80 or HPR90, despite what some "insiders" were saying before Eurobike. It would have...

Exactly. There is absolutely no point in doing that besides getting attention. Just to remind everyone, some people here were like: "100% I have info, TQ is launching a new full-power motor at Eurobike." Yeah... right. Did not happen. Same goes for Mondraker being purchased by Avinox and so on...

Brands are still way too scared to build up inventory after the post-COVID industry mess, so that's probably why. The Norco Sight VLT TQ sold out reaaaally fast when it launched, probably because Norco didn't expect it to be that successful. It also seems like a few HPR60 bikes have been...

On another TQ thread, I wasn't convinced they'd launch a new motor with power figures too close to the HPR60. It wouldn't make much sense to make your mid-power motor obsolete after just one year. That said, if they manage to come up with a proper full-power system while keeping the same quiet...

I think we should be careful with rumors on the internet... 2 weeks ago everyone was talking about a new TQ motor at the eurobike and nothing happened.

Yeah, actually the HPR60 isn't that bad compared to full power motors on single tracks climbs, mainly because the power delivery is so smooth. In general did you notice a massive difference in power compared to your YT?

I don’t think it’s really about the power. For me, what makes the HPR60 so enjoyable is the way it rides. It feels incredibly natural and still has more than enough power if you’re in decent shape. It really comes down to personal preference. I know people who actually sold their full-power...

Hi, I've been riding a Sresh SL since April and absolutely love it. I'm running a 170 mm Zeb Ultimate up front and a Vivid Ultimate in the rear. First of all, I think suspension balance is important, you want something that matches the fork and makes sense as a package. As for air vs. coil...

It depends , we're missing a lot of information. We don't know TQ's financials. If sales are strong and more brands are interested in adopting the HPR60 for their mid-power e-bikes (which sounds much more believable than the rumors about a new motor), there's no real reason for TQ to rush into...
