here's my further impressions after a month of ownership. getting out about once per week and have now had it on some of the higher speed rowdy trails as weather slowly improves: i'm not sure where bikes and suspension goes from here. i don't know if it's the RS stuff, (has to be to a large...

every mag has it's own flavour and style. those guys are both very flattering and hyperbolic, in both directions. they always state their criticisms firmly. the bike is set up first and foremost to charge rough terrain, clearly, over being a general trail bike. but i always find these to be...

i had the Kiox display added today and went for a bomber ride on what was a cold sunny day, the last before many days of rain ahead. what a bike, it's amazeballs in every way. looks like the first magazine review is out. https://ebike-mtb.com/en/norco-range-vlt-cx-test-2026/ i've loved the...

i had the Ride Wrap standard ebike package applied by the shop as they built the bike. it's not bad, covers a lot of the big wide spots along the frame, but it's thin and doesn't cover almost anything around the top of the stays and bb area. and it's nothing like Shelter tape, which is about 5...

learned a few things about the Range in the past few days. it's no more resilient to paint chips than any other bike i've had and i just got my first 2. noticed the white fringed chip when rinsing the bike, just where the seat tube joins the bottom bracket shell. was looking closely at it, when...

that's amazing. i imagine there are some bonkers trails in Canmore.

Feb riding in Canada, as in that photo is incredible, and a bit insane when you think about it. you in Squamish? that would be as natural environment for the range as it gets.

the entire bike industry has had a rough couple of years. there are a lot of bikes in inventory at most stores, including plenty of 22-24 Range VLT's. my shop told me that if i wanted one of those, instead of the latest, i could get one on an incredible deal. i'm sure they are still great bikes...

one of the reasons (along with price) that i ruled out the Forbidden bikes. they are local to me, so i had some bias to support them, but the geo was just too different and unfamiliar and i also wanted Bosch, have no interest in the DJI cult fever. the Range appealed to me in every respect, and...

even i found it to look like that. my Giant Reign e+ is a bit smaller in every dimension, but it doesn't look quite like this with the seat up. it certainly doesn't look or feel massive, but just right. i'm a lanky 6 5 with long arms. i like the cockpit room which is about 2 cms longer than the...

here it is. far too wet for proper riding, this is just down the street from me, so no, it hasn't had a proper ride yet:

that's a killer colour.

i imagine Bentonville is fantastic on all levels, riding, culture, accommodation, etc. what kinda irks me is that it's essentially a fabricated product of a billionairre family, unlike say Squamish/Whistler, Moab, Bellingham, any number of places in Colorado, Arizona, and so many i don't even...

i have a 180 on the Reign now and there's that extra security (which could be placebo) with the 180 or idea that it has some bigger hit ability, or something. also, high front is good for me and my style and for steep trails. it's only because it's a custom build that i'm getting 180, i would...

my custom Range C2 is scheduled for pick up on Thursday. just awaiting the wheels to arrive. i'm 6 5, 194cm, size 5/xl. was looking very hard at the new Giant Reign e, which i currently own the 2022 model. the just released version is everything i want as a change from the current version...

holy crap, that's one wild Sight, or whatever it is. Range++ or something. pretty dam cool. a hitters bike. where do you ride this thing?

The Divided States specializes in hate. period.

whine whine whine.

first proper review.

anyone have one yet? the LBS had sold 5 already when i was there a couple weeks ago and had 2 built up on the floor. an e1 and e2. was hoping they would have an xl to throw a leg over but they said not until late winter/early spring before the rest of the inventory becomes available. i'll be...
