I was on this forum a couple of different times in the past and it was very different. I'm looking for a place where I can talk about riding, get motivated, look at cool new components, help people new to make good decisions because it's really easy to get the wrong bike. I'm on my 9th and...

What range extender?

I may have overspent on my helmet.

Lol.

Yeah it's awesome, that I could get a Wild cheap. I put a Ohlins Coil on, GripX2, Fox Transfer, and I've got a top tier bike for Amflow money. Thanks Amflow marketing. The annoying thing will be if they're passing me on the climbs only to choke up the descents... Nah, that'll be sweet, if they...

I bought something very similar, <2 weeks ago. No fucking way would I rather an Amflow... I walked right past a herd of new M2S on the shop floor. Cute little toys, but not for me. Each to their own.

Well, maybe I have you confused with another Avinox evangelist. My apologies. There are so many threads, running concurrently right now, and I think you're on most or all of them too - where certain people are going on and on and fucking on about the minor details of the Avinox. It's fine it's...

"I mean, would the motor really be a reason to upgrade though?" I asked if the motor would be worth upgrading the whole bike for. It was all in the context of my post. Oh you HAVE owned a Bosch Gen 5?

Weren't you the guy in the other thread comparing Avinox with a Bosch Gen 4 you'd owned prior? Doesn't sound like you had a Bosch Gen 5. How can you talk about whether the upgrade is worth it?

Dude. Traction control. Shifting. Navigation. Fucking yaaaaawn... And you're suggesting chucking away a perfectly good Bosch Gen 5 Orbea Wild, dropping what $15-20K on the same bike with a new Avinox motor - is worth all that expense for: Traction control. Shifting. Navigation? GTFO...

Oh man. Every fucking thread....

I mean, would the motor really be a reason to upgrade though? Sure the extra power would be nice here and there but there isn't increased battery capacity to drive it much of the time. If it was literally the same bike but with an Avinox instead that would seem like a nuts reason to upgrade...

Be awesome if we didn't have to have another thread about motor output though to be honest... :)

Whaaaaaat there's Garmin connectivity? Can it log human power output? That's like the one thing I wish my Bosch had. How did I not come across this yet... EDIT: ah ok, newer Edge units only at the moment. I use my watch to track because it's one less thing to faff with. Hopefully it gets added...

Unless the motor rattles. But it probably won't.

Well, for my 8 day old bike I bought an Ohlins shock, a GripX2 damper, and a pair of Kryptotal DH tires. It wasn't a cheap week :)

FWIW, I tried the Vala and now have the 2026 Wild. They both ride light, the Vala would ride somewhat lighter - but it's significantly less travel. Like, night and day less travel. The Vala felt too much "trail" for me. I think I'm basically over the 150mm mullet craze though personally. I went...

This is my new steed. 2026 M10. I got it ex-display for a really good price. I had some good luck for a change. Came with Performance suspension, I went with the Ohlins coil and put a Grip X2 damper in the fork. This was first ride on the new bouncy bits today. Rides great already. I bought...

No I disagree. I don't ride the SL category, but I totally get and respect the approach. I think if I was 20kg lighter (proper lean) it's what I'd be riding, at 50. Power to weight is why it won't work for me. I totally get hanging on to VO2 max and leg strength as we age - that's a great idea...

I run my gen 5 at 95/750. That's about the limit before it burns too much battery. I did just fit DH tires and have not rode them yet, I might be tuning that down a bit more, not sure. And when I derestrict, that also might mean tuning down a bit more. Basically I want around 2 hours of solid...
