It's not just the dropper length. I was also looking at the Crafty's, but their ST is 3cm longer in XL and my V1 Megatower is 4cm, running a 200mm dropper fully slammed, so I've asked for the 240mm on my order to compensate. I've waited years for emtb development, sizing and components to bring...

E-Bike/E-MTB's best bike on test so far this year! 🤓👏🥳🍾🍻🎈🎊

I've ordered a bike and paid a chunk up front, but the company i'm buying from is reputable, but I've no worries if the worst happens as I used my credit card, so I get the buyer protection if anything goes wrong. Even if you're being sensible and spreading your payments because you can get 0%...

Cheers Greg, I was only using the examples listed from memory, so some of the newer models may have increased their weight capacities. As you've stated, many manufacturer's list all up weight, but some still list the maximum rider weight and the following examples are for their full power...

Don't forget, when rider's get taller, they also get heavier, so, many bikes - from Bulls, Haibike, Rotwild and Trek for example - have rider weight limits around 95kg's, which makes a bit of a mockery over them supplying XL bikes.

Also affected by rider height. If you're Danny MacAskill at 5'9" and 75kg, you'll have a way better CoG, balance point and power to weight ratio than someone that's 6'6" and 110kg. 😁

If you're in the UK/EU, you'll likely get an email around 0200 in the morning and, by the time you've woken up six or so hours later, they'll all be gone.

You'd be correct in that statement and you would have to buy the Ultimate in order to get a similar level of spec to the Build 2 Atherton, so for the same money, the Propain gives you a perceived lower quality frame manufacturer that's a bit lardy and needs to add an XXL to its range in order to...

FYI Greg, Thank you for the post, I mis-quoted Orange's base price, as their entry model is listed at £8250.00. I've also copied/pasted from Atherton's website on the S.170E. 2 at £7999.00, as it states it has the M2S Avinox motor. When compared to the base model Phase, the Atherton has Hayes...

I read a UK review whereby the Kado was rated way better than the current Santa Cruz Bullit. 👍

The new YT Decoy's available in alloy and I also find myself having to pass comment on Orange's pricing. £8500k for a frame with a full specification downgrade, when compared to the Atherton at £8000k, seems a bit rich to me. Purely based on price, I'm glad I ordered the S.170E.😁

Rob might remember, but i've been sat on the fence for the last few years as I've been somewhat limited on bike choice due to being a 1.98m tall, bigger unit than average. 🤔 I'm still riding analogue, having an XXL Santa Cruz Megatower V1 and it's been the most comfortable and fastest bike -...

Hmmm... I've been pondering on the new Levo and my thoughts are; If the Levo and Levo R share the same main frame, is it not possible that Specialized have created the R in order to increase the choices as that would then clear the chunky frame stock, allowing them to bring forward the...

Yup, fine of you're 75kg's. How about some testing with a 105kg rider? If you haven't got one, I've got plenty of time to lend a hand... 😉

I'm not having a go at the likes of Atherton and other bike manufacturers here, just Avinox as it's an e-bike motor, not 'The Precious'. The whole embargo thing is ridiculous, anyone would think Avinox is being run by 8 year olds in a school playground. 🙄

Feck me, I can't believe all of this bollix over an emtb motor. Anyone would think it was special to a 'war effort' and needed to be kept hush, hush for fear of losing the war. What a load of tosh, just say what it is and be done with it. Embargo, my arse. 🙄

I questioned Sarah about the available finishes on the bike, but she wasn't able to answer my question with a reasonable level of confidence, so i'll ask it here. Regarding the £400 upgrade to an Anodised Finish, does anyone know if this is a Hard Anodised Finish or the less hard wearing...

Hi Rob, I've contacted Nicolai twice now regarding ordering a frame-set and haven't had a lot on information come back. Would you be able to advise on the best way to place my order, as you have now done so yourself?

It's a good job i'm still running 11 speed HG then, as my wheels will swap straight over! :D
