No real info about the brand other than their social media, looks interesting though, kinda like a SC/Intense vibe but with a Bosch motor:

Apparently lot of design input from Cesar Rojo over at Uno, which is encouraging

Its an alloy heckler 29er?

I think the alloy bike is just the test mule. The production bikes will be carbon (though might be alloy too....). At the end of the 27.5/29 video they say they've just received their 3d printed one to work out fitment on.

Sounds like there will be optional rear swing arms depending if you want to run 27.5 or 29 on the production bikes.

In Episode 3 :


At 5:40 he says that with the new motor system, they have a really nice magnet which clips on the valve stem and this acts as the speed sensor - so no need for a sensor/cable as the motor picks it up. @Rob Rides EMTB have you seen this in any of the latest Gen4 info ?

Just watched that episode 3, the Carbon one looks interesting, but still very much a heckler lol.
I will watch the progress, although
1) I doubt it will ever be shipped to blighty.
2) Will make santa Cruz seem cheap
3) No dealer network (potentially)
4) Warranty??
5) if it does turn out to be a full 29er Heckler, i'd still be interested ;)
