Oooh, and some kind of interchangeable dropouts as well, might be possible to get proper chainstay length. Propain pricing is usually really nice. If they would also offer it as a frameset, then the market is really opening up

Im liking this! Come on and make an extender too!

Seems to weigh just as much as my Kenevo, or rather slightly more? I thought the DJI system would save 1-2 kgs or so

Price is right though!

I really want more specs to come out about this.

It seems I'd get a spec I'd be happy with for around £7.5k, similar to the Mondraker Zendit and Whyte Karve. Zendit has poor dropper insertion and slow charger, and Whyte possibly has a bit more travel than I'd prefer, so this may be the best choice. I wish the stack height was a bit higher but high rise bars are an easy fix.

Ekano AL is 25.48 kg in Size Large according to New Propain Ekano 3 AL on test: aluminium eMTB with Avinox drive at a fair price? and that's in the fanciest top spec. I love the Yellow colour but think I will be getting a Zendit this year

 

[Str1fe]

They’re on the heavier side… I don’t think we’ll see a “light” build, even on the trail version, but the prices are decent.


This might also be a strategy to keep the Sresh SL relevant in their lineup. Propain has been doing a great job over the past few years. Delays are still way too long though

 

[Yotaismygame]

Tried to buy one. Their website was a shit show. The frame I picked was somehow sold out from under me while checking out. Spent 45 mins trying to check out. I'm not ecstatic about the price or a few specs but there's so little options for a 160mm or longer travel avinox bike in the states that doesn't cost over 7 grand. I truly don't believe bikes should cost as much as they do.

With a normal fork and 600wh battery its going to be around 53lbs. Which is okay with me. Current Marin I have is 53lbs

Disappointed the Enduro is 160/150.

The customization really makes this a compelling option in the standard-travel segment. It'd only be $8900 the way I'd buy an enduro.

It's not, it's 170/160.

 

[Powerslider]

It's not, it's 170/160.

You're right! Was thrown off by their site. Can confirm you're right in the specs though.

 

[Yotaismygame]

Too bad they opted to run a 210x55 shock on the enduro bike. Would have been nice to have the option of overstroking it and squeezing a little more travel out of it.

THat is a sexy looking bike (in my opinion)

 

[Yotaismygame]

Anyone get one yet?

 

[TonTonUB]

Very interesting alu frame and geo.
Too bad they don't sell it as a frame kit too.

Just buy the cheapest build and part it out.

It's an option.
But having to pay twice the mechanics, to dismount the original parts then mount mine ... Doesn't make sense.
On the long run, i might reconsider it, but ...

 

[Yotaismygame]

Good reason to learn to do it yourself.
