    New Stumpjumper Evo: hint at possibilities for the next Levo?

    Title of thread says it. The linkage of the Enduro rules that out for an assisted version. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/review-2021-specialized-stumpjumper-evo.html

    Specialized Stock levels?

    This isn’t ebike related but I hope this is ok to post here. I’m currently trying to track down stock of a 2021 Specialized Diverge Comp Carbon 54cm in satincarbon/black (in the UK). Very simply, does anyone know the best way of getting status of stock of these? My usual bike shop has been told...

    https://singletrackworld.com/gritcx/2020/05/27/all-new-cannondale-topstone-full-suspension-gravel-and-electric-too/ My word this thing is fugly. Full fat Bosch motor with battery is really out of place imo.

    Weight Weenie-ing and e-Bikes

    Weight weenie-ism has come up a lot on here recently, especially since the Levo SL came out. This short podcast is an interesting listen. ‎The BikeRadar Podcast: Tech Talk - Does weight really matter? on Apple Podcasts I love a bit of weenie-ing about weight and have done it on most bikes...

    Lockdown Positive Diversions (C19)

    Looks like we’re inside for a while. If you have a diversion that’s amusing you, preferably MTB related but not necessarily, then please share here. One suggestion though, this isn’t about the virus or the politics, please use other threads for that (Covid 19 worries ! - EMTB Forums). I’ve...

    Frame sets and not whole bikes? - Discuss

    Given we’re all going to go crazy keeping away from our fellow humans perhaps this might make a nice discussion topic? Quality analogue MTBs more often than not have a frameset or frameset/shock option available. We don’t see this at all yet (apart from maybe the very limited EU availability of...

    Future Cities

    It’s really great to see a city really thinking this through. Imagine living in the city and getting about easily on a bike/e-bike with no cars. It would be good to see assessments of quality of life and the data about the health of the citizens when this is fully established. It should help...

    New Categories of e-MTBs?

Some of this is the usual manufacturer hype to drum up sales but XC seems to be emerging out of the pure race area into trail bikes (Longer reach, slacker). Possibly as trail bikes become more capable as enduro-lite. On...

    Kinesis Rise E-Trail - another lightweight trail bike

    First review I’ve seen of this. UK company with a slightly different approach to a lightweight trail bike. Ok, so it’s a HT but it’s more budget friendly than the Levo SL. Billed as a ‘British style hardtail’ if that means anything to you (usually tough, long and low). Review | Kinesis Rise...

    US-centric (?) Vital-MTB e-bike article

    https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/On-eMTB-and-Mountain-Bikes,2766 We’ve all heard this before but the comments do display a more US-centric view, or do they? The author, in the comments, appears to have a more balanced view in their responses.
