Hi everyone,

I'm an ex rugby player and BMX rider and currently own a 10kg XC hardtail 29er. Shot knees are leading me to conclude that an eMTB is the future but I do not want a heavy weight (full fat eMTB) and am happy to sacrifice power for agility.

I am looking for a light as possible (sub 20kg bike) and have test ridden a few already with no clear winner - focus will be on trail riding.

Looking forward to picking everyone's brains and experience.

Cheers

Hawk

Welcome, have you tried Orbea Rise it’s a great trail bike and depending on model can be sub 20kg but still has decent power for the uphills
