Hi guys, I’m looking at the both bikes in the title. Have anyone had both and if so what do you prefer?
I really can’t decide on which to go for. I was looking at spending £5-£6k but would stretch to the scott genius eride 900 tuned for slightly extra. The specialized expert is above my budget so it would be the fsr model at £5995. The scott has the fox suspension and imo looks a lot nicer. I’ve seen that the free update is available at the end of the month for the bosch motor too. From the reviews I’ve seen it seems to make a great difference which makes the decision even harder. I prefer 27.5” wheels too and the scott has the option of being able to run the 27.5+ which is another bonus over the specialized. I think the main things swaying me towards the specialized is the bros motor and the 700wh battery.
I currently ride a normal mtb and its an orange five pro. Haven’t long bought it after getting back into mtbing the last year but I’m regretting not going for an ebike. I ride a ktm enduro motorbike and the routes I do on my mtb are mostly ones I do on my enduro motorbike. Therefor involves quite a few climbs that are hard work on a normal mtb. An ebike would make it far more enjoyable and I’d be able to go further along the routes. I’d be the only one out of my mates to have an ebike but I don’t want that to hold me back as I seriously hate climbing hills on a normal mtb. prefer coming back down ?
