    Shimano E010 Dead Motor = Decision Time

    I for one, if my e8000 is bricked, will be looking at the retro fit of an ep8 into my Norco sight vlt that and swapping the fork out for a 29er, should actually put my 2020 model back up to spec with the lastest trends in the ebb world 😂😂

    New Shimano FW update E8000 - 4.9.0, E7000/E6100 - 4.6.0, E5000 - 4.4.2

    I upgraded last weekend, had no issues with my motor until upgrade, first down hill I hit e020 followed by e010 then w020, then it bricked. My motor is 5months old never been anything but factory settings, now in shop, telling me it’s a possible engine replacement job.

    Shimano E010 Dead Motor = Decision Time

    Epic motors in Australia bolted a ep8 straight into an older 2018/19 Merida 160 was a straight swap. Shimano aren’t going to tell you this as if that’s the case, we’d all just buy $1500 motor upgrades

    Age old question. E8000 chip or App De-restriction

    Hi Guy’s, I know this is a ongoing question. But I’m curious to know. Thinking of going the chip route for derestriction of my e8000 as it’s a simple in out without having to tamper with firmware. But have come across another app Eplus tuner , it allows you to do the same as other apps but...

    Almost decided... Thron2 vs Jam2

    The Jam2 is an excellent bike I was going to purchase but was 6week wait, with no guarantee it would only be that. So I took a Norco off the floor as I didn’t want to wait, you’ll love it it’s a Gem of a bike

The Jam2 6.8 is an absolute gem of a bike as is the tron2 the only major difference is they travel suspension set up And ergo’s , Tron is a much more comfortable bike to ride in every...

    Best emtb on a budget?

    I did, but over here in Australia they start at $9000. I ended up with a Norco Sight vlt C2 27.5 2021 model (has the upgraded spec with lyric over yari fork and the sram guide Re over the e brake) super happy with it. Like it more than the 29er Norco bought out ( test rode back to back)

    Best emtb on a budget?

    Oh , yes it was a roller coaster of e ride . I procrastinated, haggled, double guessed my decisions. Even continued after the purchase. I went through buyers remorse ?
