    Now I wasn't expecting that: Orbea Rallon RS

    This bike looks kinda perfect to me. I absolutely love the TQ, have the the TQ50 on one of my bikes, I just need 'some' support for medical reasons, and I have a hard time finding modern technology in an SL bike. But that price... is a bit wild.

    Orbea Rise or Trek Fuel EXE (i know again!) Buying advice

    I've had a Rise but bought it a size to small, got a Fuel EXe for about 2 years and just sold it to go back to the rise. The Fuel EXe has MUCH less range, even compared to the 2022 Rise I had. I'd say I get about 30-40% less range, and the difference in power was noticeable for me. I'm only a...

    2025 rise sl or lt in your collection yet?

    You mentioned the Trek EXE, how does this compare for range and power? Used to have a Rise, then switched to EXE but really missing the range/power of the rise. Now considering going back to the 2025 Rise. Curious to hear your comparisons for weight, range, power delivery compared to the EXE.

    Fuel EXe Trek Fuel EXe Megathread!

    It was custom tuned for my Fuel EXE based on my weight; it came with two springs of my choice (based on weight with gear). Yes the rebound adjuster is accessible, just need to use the alan key. It also has a lock switch for climbing. Got the 205x60 and it is like I have much travel now vs the...

    Upgraded the shock to an EXT E-Storia - this is a whole new different level of smoothing out the terrain! 10/10 recommend.

    2023 Pivot Shuttle SL - Super Light

    Have you considered asking a refund? I went through the same with a Giant bike and after 3 months I had to go that route - and did get the refund.

    Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL 2023 Megathread

    Has anyone tried both the Trek EXe and the new Levo SL? Wondering about the power and range difference.

    This is awesome! Is there any gossip about this motor coming to the Kenevo SL too?!

    I'm 164, and I ride a Medium EXe comfortably, it's all about preference but seems to me you'd want a Large,

    Fuel EXe so who's ordered the Trek Fuel EXe?

    You just seem to get very defensive when folks disagree? English is not my first language so maybe I am interpreting it wrong. But to each their own; what works for me does not have to work for you and vice versa. I 100% believe that people have different wants and needs. And in some ways...

    Fuel EXe so who's ordered the Trek Fuel EXe?

    Exactly! I have a Kona Honzo ESD hardtail, a dh and a Trek EXe, they all do fine on Fromme, Squamish, Eagle. I am not a jumper but more of a tech rider - but for me the heavy weight ebikes are just a different category; I’ll take lightweight and less travel. I can easily ride 4 hours on the EXe...

    Kenevo SL Official 2022 Kenevo SL (KSL) Megathread!

    I started with a Levo, went to an Orbea Rise, now in a Trek Fuel EXe. I thought the SL would not have enough range/power but my friend has one and I’d say its on par with the EXe. And yeah I’ve been able to test both on the same terrain! I found the weight difference from the Levo to the Rise...

    M-Series Range Extender First Use

    Yes! Same happened to me. Bike shop replaced the charging port, its a fault design element! Its so easy to break.

    Fuel EXe Trek Fuel EXe Megathread!

    Yeah my store was actually able to order the carbon ones so they’ll be replacing them! Its kind of lame though, that they do not point it out. I don’t mind a variation on similar parts, but with these bigger difference they should clearly communicate it. Makes me wonder if I need to check all...

    Fuel EXe Trek Fuel EXe Megathread!

    How can you tell? EDIT: I see it now too. Thanks for pointing it out! Its a 300$ difference, so yeah, they'll need to fix that. Bit annoying as I specifically asked this question when I picked it up as I read about it happening. Just called the store and they are going to order the correct...

    Fuel EXe Trek Fuel EXe Megathread!

    It was just asked as a comparison! I love the Trek haha. I think its helpful for people to know how it compares range wise - but the power deliver of the TQ is next level. It feels so natural, and that is what the EXe does so well; giving a natural feel but just give you that extra bit uphill...

    Fuel EXe Trek Fuel EXe Megathread!

    Same! I like everything about this bike better than the rise, except I feel that with the Rise I would easily get double the range. Today was my first ride and I rode a mix of eco and trail, only couple boost minutes here and there for steep corners. Rode for 2.5hrs, 600m of elevation on very...
