AI translation + summary:

Model & Motor System


  • Model: Propain Ekano.
  • Motor: It is equipped with the new DJI Avinox system (identified as the M1 or M2 motor).
  • Display: Features an approximately 2-inch Avinox display integrated into the top tube.
  • Battery: Available with either a 600Wh or 800Wh battery. The batteries are permanently installed and cannot be removed for charging.

Frame & Weight


  • Frame Material: Currently, it is only available with an aluminum frame. Carbon models are expected to be released next year.
  • Weight: The high-end version weighs around 24.5 kg, while the more affordable models weigh around 25.5 kg.
  • Design: It features a distinctive rear triangle design that integrates very closely with the shock.

Pricing & Components


  • Starting Price: The base model starts at approximately €5,000.
  • Top-Tier Model: The fully equipped exhibition model shown in the video costs around €11,000.
  • Premium Specs (on the €11,000 model): It features high-end components, including Öhlins suspension (front and rear), Formula Cura 4 brakes, and Crankbrothers Synthesis wheels.
 
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!
 
This week.
Today is the day, both versions (trails and enduro) are released:

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.
 
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
 
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.
 
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.

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)

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 ...
