So i am a really driven enduro/trail rider who likes to send flow or technical stuf, even some jumps now and then. I started with a Canyon Spectral in 2018 and loved it, for the moment i own a Hightower v2 since 2020 for almost 2 years and this bike is still the best all around non ebike i could wish for.

Now since i am changing my job i will have to do more hours and will be riding less in the near future.
So i considered to buy an ebike that suits me the best.

First my eye fell upon the Rise H15 5799€ (without extender) and i will have to change tyres, rotors and maybe brakes.. Its in my opinion a trail bike and i am gonna have the same problem i have with the hightower now that it's has not enough suspension for my ability to ride trails in Finale, bikeparks or on rough tracks at home.

Second i am looking at the Turbo Levo Comp Alloy Gen3 6550€(6.5%), i will have to change brakes for certain. Big difference i know but why the Levo? Max power and 700W is probably a lot of fun with enough suspension and the mullet is also nice. But is it to much of a bike to have fun on the descent??

These bikes are available in februari and i do not want to wait to much longer.
In 2023 i would maybe change the Hightower for a more Enduro bike with coil to ride the bikeparks and the shuttle stuff what i am not planning to do to much with the Levo.
Because for now the Levo is the most preferable on the wish list.
Or should i consider the Orbea because Shimano is a safer option? (considering the Brose problems)
I know there is the Kenevo SL but that's 27.5 and more the bike i would need in the bikepark situations.
I tried the Scott Ransom Eride (180mm) on the street and for the small moment i could test it, it gave a really have feeling and not that playful kinda trailduro ebike what i am looking for.

Thanks for your view and help already!

Welcome!

You might find somebody here who’ll give you an opinion, but probably not because your question’s a bit confusing. If they do give one, they’ll tell you their bike’s best - probably. Mine‘s the best eeb and you should buy one, especially as the Hightower is already in your list🤣

None of that will help you - well probably not.

What about letting us know why this decision is proving difficult? All the bikes you mention are pretty good. You’ve done a fair job of listing their strengths.

Tell us how you ride, where you ride and tell us why you want an eeb. You’ll get more info that way - probably.
