    Help me decide: Forbidden Druid E vs. Orbea Wild

    In my opinion, the orbea is not the best choice for a beginner. It really needs to be pushed hard and ridden aggressively to shine. For your type of riding, it's a bit overkill. The forbidden is easier to ride than the Orbea. That said, if you can afford one of them, just go for it. In my area...

    Might a TQ HPR90 announcement be imminent (June at Eurobike)?

    The 580Wh battery was already discounted a few weeks (or months) ago. Bike companies no longer want to hold large inventories, so they're offering discounts to move stock more quickly.

    Might a TQ HPR90 announcement be imminent (June at Eurobike)?

    If they boost the hpr60 by OTA update it won't really makes sense to launch a HPR90. Let see at the Eurobike next week...

    Might a TQ HPR90 announcement be imminent (June at Eurobike)?

    The smartest move from TQ, in my opinion, is not to launch a new motor right away. Instead, they should implement OTA updates so people can update their bikes at home and potentially improve performance through software updates, like Bosch did with the SX motor, and the bosch SX really improved...

    Might a TQ HPR90 announcement be imminent (June at Eurobike)?

    I also saw that on my Propain. The hpr60 peak power is at 380/390 watts already, not 350.

    Orbea x Avinox Rumours

    Regarding the possible power limit on the orbea, my take: 750 watts is the maximum power allowed in e-enduro races. That may be one of the reasons why some brands will choose to limit their motor output, allowing them to market the same bike to both regular riders and racers, even at the...

    DH World Cup thread

    The other rider (Australian guy I can't remember his name) crashed really hard just 10 sec before Troy arrived. Bad luck. They are both ok after being checked at the hospital.

    Might a TQ HPR90 announcement be imminent (June at Eurobike)?

    Canyon just teased the new Spectral:ONfly, and it looks like it could be running the TQ HPR60: There are no discounts on the Fuel+ in Europe right now, so I wouldn't read too much into that. Propain isn't discounting the Sresh SL either, and neither is Yeti with the MTe. From what I've...

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

    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.

    2026 Yeti LTE

    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...

    2026 Yeti LTE

    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...

    What you want improved on your next SL e-bike

    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...

    What you want improved on your next SL e-bike

    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...

    What you want improved on your next SL e-bike

    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...

    The SL bike is dead. Long live the SL bike!

    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...

    New TQ bike for 2027

    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.

    Avinox launch 1500w M2S motor and cheaper M2 motor

    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...
