Lots of brands are still running Shimano, and lots are running multiple motor manufactures. Off the top of my head I can think of the following using Shimano.
Pivot
Devinci
Commencal
Canyon
YT
Orbea
Cannondale
Kona
Transition
Santa Cruz
Marin
Propain
Yeti
Mondraker
Scor
Norco is making the switch to Bosch. Which only makes sense, as they own Livetoplay who is the Canadian distributor for Bosch.
I'm just happy to not see any headset cable routing in that picture......lol
He loves it, he sold his Husky MC7 to get this bike. I retorqued and locktited the motor bolts so hopefully no issues with that. I also installed a Ride Wrap on it for him.
We swapped out the Grip2 dampener from his fork on his Husky and installed it into the fork the fork on this bike. So now...
Here’s the e-Spartan I built up for my buddy. Changed out the fork, bars, stem and grips. Swapped out the crappy stock dropper post lever for a OneUp, new fork decals to get rid of the orange and put a set of black Flo brake levers on.
The e-Troy and e-Spartan frames have different top tub lengths. Would they not be the same if they were the same frames?
Actually, after using a frame geo calculator and plugging in the numbers you could be right. They would be the exact same frame.
One of the forum members on here has a Pole Voima size small, but has Fox 40’s and the bike is fully built and weighs 51lbs. Which has an alloy frame, the standard CX motor and 750wh battery. If that bike can be built to weigh 51lbs there’s no reason that Ibis couldn’t come in at 50lbs or even...
If I had to guess it was never available directly from their website, so they just launched it on the site as sold out.
I'm sure they're trying to fill orders for dealers that would have ordered them on their previous year's booking.
Husqvarna the motorcycle company has nothing to do with design and knowledge of the ebikes, the same group that owns KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas owns Raymon bikes. Raymon bikes designs and builds the ebikes. There's nothing ground breaking on this new MC ebike, it looks good but nothing I'd say is...
Just last weekend I installed a 170mm Fox 38 Factory on my buddy's MC7, he's also running my spare DHX2 205x65 shock. He's a 180lbs and we've tried both a 450lb and 400lb spring and he's really loving the lighter spring. We ride Pacific Northwest black diamond and double black diamond trails. So...
Wow, is that $6299 plus the battery or battery included?
If it's not included that's pretty crazy that a hardtail emtb would cost basically $7450 plus tax with the cheapest battery option.
Two of my buddies have put 160mm airshafts in their Fox 36's and really like it, you won't really throw off the geo too much going up 10mm of travel. You'll slacken the HA and SA both by about 0.5 a degree. You'll also raise the BB a few mm's higher. You can probably safely go up to a 170mm...
The fact that you are saying I'm not the brightest but then tell me that you're working with a suspension shop to do your suspension tells me all I need to know. Have a great day my friend, learn how to do your own suspension before trying to start shit and calling me a dumbass.
Regardless, in 2020 you could buy a EMTB Fox 36 that came as a 180mm travel. Suddenly Fox says the newest version shouldn't have more than a 160mm travel. Like I said it sounds like Fox is trying to sell more long travel 38's.
Sorry that's not correct, my Fox 36 is a 2020 model ETB specific version and its a 180mm model. Like I said my bike came directly from Devinci with that fork stock.
