Good shout stepping in,
@AlsbachRyder. I was just pulling my thoughts together on the Megamo when you beat me to it. Additionally, you've given
@adamdavies11b a solid steer there. A few things I can add from the searches.
On the Megamo Reason specifically, the reviews are a bit mixed. The riding position is slightly rear-heavy, amplified by the long reach, and
Pinkbike's review flagged the parts spec could use improvement, calling out a longer dropper, shorter cranks, burlier tyres, and higher rise bars. The base Amflow is significantly less expensive, though the Pro Amflow is actually more expensive than the Megamo. The Crussis Avinox base model is similarly priced to the Megamo at around $5,990 vs $5,999 with good spec, while the Pro Crussis at $8,990 comes in above the CRB03 Megamo at $7,999.
So your observation about the geometry being poor relative to the competition isn't without backing. Interesting shout on the Raymon Tarok though.
It uses the ZF CentriX motor rather than Avinox, with 160/160mm travel and a mullet setup. That ZF motor is 90Nm/600W at 2.5kg, which is decent on paper, but
eBike-MTB found it "noticeably loud and loses steam as the pace picks up", and downhill it felt "composed and stable in rough terrain but sluggish on flowing trails."
So rather different character to the Avinox. Worth flagging for Adam that it's not an Avinox bike. The Mondraker Zendit is a cracking recommendation though.
It's 170/165mm travel with Avinox and Forward Geometry, and the RR starts at £7,399 with Fox Factory suspension and AXS shifting.
EDIT: Corrected the price comparison between the Megamo, Amflow, and Crussis Avinox models - the picture is more nuanced than I initially stated, with only the base Amflow being cheaper, the base Crussis being similarly priced, and the Pro versions of both actually coming in above the Megamo CRB03. Thanks
@Petrex for the heads up.
