Hey you! I'm Olof, a mountain biker that get to develop my interest in MTBs and eMTBs through this channel.
I am lucky enough to test some of the hottest bikes on the market and I ride pretty much anything that I can get my hands on with great interest.
My background is from XC riding in Spain where I lived for a few years. Now I am leaning more into enduro type of riding, but I still enjoy all aspects of mountain biking. I live in Sweden btw, but I miss Spain every day!
For climbing up regular roads or trails, does it help you stay at the speed limiter or did you find that the motor didn’t help much at speeds faster than 10kmh?
No, the motor pulls all the way to the speed limit. But it's more about cadence than the actual speed. These low powered motors are more about top end power than low end grunt.
@@MTBs awesome, thank you! I’m looking at getting one for commuting. I need to keep a 19-21mph (31-33kmh) average on dirt tracks to make it worth it. On a comparable trail bike I can average about 12-14mph (19-22.5 kmh) over the first 5 miles of climbing and flats. Bumping that up significantly would be nice.
That's one expensive commuter bike! : ) Out of curiosity, do you live in the US? In that case you have a higher speed limit of the motor and then I can see such a high average speed possible.
You mentioned the front end of this bike is tall. I have one and I agree with your assessment. I'm thinking of swapping forks on this bike, taking the 140mm off and installing a 120mm. Do you think this would be a good idea for this bike? Trying to make it a bit more stable... Thanks for your videos!
No, I don't think it's a great idea. The HT angle will increase which also affects the stability negatively. If it's more front tyre pressure you are after I think you are better off removing spacers (if there are any) or getting a slightly longer stem which also will help with stability. That's also cheap changes which doesn't hurt as much if it doesn't work out.
Here’s a tip… do what I did. Don’t waste your money on the comp. Buy the base alloy levo, put a fox 38 170mm fork on it and a fox float x2 also with extra travel I believe it’s a 55. 👍🏼 now it’s the bike you love at the same cost as the comp.
@@MTBs true, but my point was on reliabilty for accurate footage. still, second hande drone are available. Don't get me wrong, I'm abot to buy one for myself, I need something small and lightweight, my mavic 2 pro is way to big and heavy to carry sometimes
I’m thinking that when/if DJI enters this market segment, we will see some interesting stuff. Right now Zerozero robotics owns this market and maybe a bit of competition can be healthy.
Canyon has a rating system which indicates where the bike can be used. I think the Neuron is category 3 and if you ride it in bike parks maybe that can void the warranty. With that said, I thought the bike was ok on red trails in moderate speeds. Blue trails - absolutely no problem.
@@ivostarmans1199 I did a quick spin on the Occam, I think it was the long travel version. Very nice bike too. But I would say the Neuron is very allround. The beefier bike, the more boring it gets on the flats. It's always a compromise.
That’s correct. I have to keep chasing my brother as usual. But FPV images do look pretty cool! 😎 Thinking about getting something that I can actually film with shortly.
Hi, they have released a new version called Hover X1 Smart but it’s only in Japan. However, on Monday 8th July 24 they did an international release and I ordered one, which arrived today. One main difference is the done no longer folds up. It’s still charging and hope to give it a go later on this weekend.
@@MTBs Yes, it’s only 99grams, smaller and it DOES NOT fold up. (Which I thought was strange, since that’s was one of its beast features) I think it’s because it’s meant to be stronger.
are you sure there will be no more epic ht? What I have heard that they will not have s-works ht but will have epic ht with cheaper components and more affordable price
Atm there is only the old Epic HT still being sold. And Specialized's representative said that there will be no new model of the Epic HT. Don't know anything else about that matter.
Here in Germany the Roscoe 9 costs only 2.000€ so it‘s a real steal for the quality of components. Also the stoic is really rough and hard to ride on harder terrain, so the Roscoe is the clear winner for me.
Brilliant video man, I think the only way this review could have been better is if you included a bit more video from the bike on technical trails with that being said though i definitely feel like if I owned that bike I would mainly stick to jumps
Absolut det bästa jag sätt med info i filmen. Väldigt ofta undrar man vilken cykel. Och kanske däck. Äntligen fick jag veta det i din video. Och pilar i video som visar olika spår. Perfekt!!
Really good review 👍 ive got a whyte 909 v4 and older 2014 whyte 905 , both great bikes but looking for my first 29er hardtail (all my bikes 27.5😅) which i can still use in me local area but bung on some faster wheels and turn into a faster bikepack for multiday adventures . I think the Fuse Comp looks better from watch your review ,though Roscoe does look good too. I was going to get a Chisel but a Fuse looks a better all rounder with its slacker geometry . Now to see if Trek ,Canyon or other brands can beat a Fuse but the Fuse has a good length wheelbase 1188 which i prefer 🤔. Cheers :)
@@MTBs I've had a quick look around today and not noticed any new specialized models . I did go onto Trek website today and they have a new 2024 procaliber 8 aluminium with 120mm fork which looks very appealing for a multiday road trail bikepack bike , that looks very attempting , though sounds like i should wait a bit for next round of specialized to come out 🙂 thanks
The 2024 Chisel is now a lightweight FS bike. I haven't seen it in the flesh, but it's like a budget version of the Epic I recon. The upcoming Fuse will probably be very costly once it is launched, but there might be good deals on the current Fuse because of the new model.
@@MTBs ok thanks ,not though about a FS ,the new chisel frame looks good , will pop down bike shops next few weeks and try them out see which ones feel best 🙂
Would you say that it not having gears and only pedal assist levels is a draw back or is the pedal assist/throttle power strong enough to make gears obsolete?
This was filmed like 4 years ago so I don't remember really, but this bike wouldn't have worked without any assist. The output is different in different markets, but in Europe it's 250W continous power. If it's not too steep the bike works, but it is a cruiser and not a race bike. It's geared pretty low.
Thanks for review. Yesterday I ordered my Canyon Neuron CF 9 (no SL) in "Lake blue" color. My first carbon bike, and first with FOX suspension. I can't wait for it.😁
Which bike is better for advanture rides, this Tero X vs Vado 3.0 IGH Belt drive? I giving a big acsent on Belt drive, i believe belt drive way better, however would love to hear opinions. Thank you
Depends on where you will ride. For asphalt/gravel/fire roads- Vado. For more demanding trails - the full susp Tero, which really is a MTB, is better suited.
Thanks for this review. I think it is the only such review to go into detail on this light. I had a previous fenix light which worked well for me but the lack of a user replaceable battery and battery degradation meant I have to toss the entire device after 5 years. The ability to easily replace the battery cannot be understated.
Well, i can tell that in Denmark right now, Stoic goes more expensive than Trek. And trek are really better bikes, with more focus on components, and user. I made my decision, hello Roscoe :)
Warning to Specialized. This is the only video i found where Vado 3.0 is on review, all other videos do review for older model , not the version of 2023 Vado 3.0. Thank you!
Just picked up a Roscoe 9 on sale and they stacked my military discount on top of the sale so I only paid $1799 for it which is a steal considering the spec 😊
Just ordred the turbo levo in alloy. I may upgrade later down the lime to the top end one but i am looking forward to it. Be the first full sus bike ive rode and owned and first e bike too
I bought Terro x 4.0 We don't have 5.0 and 6.0 for sale with my height. One thing that confuses me is that there may not be enough torque.My weight is 110 kg
You are undecided if you should go with the Roscoe 7 or 8 bc of the 35 mm fork? So the 7 has a better fork? What is wrong with the 35 mm fork? I'm asking bc I'm completely ignorant on this subject. I missed the Specialized bike sale when they sold the Fuse Comp for 1.5k
Basically because of the fork which is the most important thing on a bike imo. The Recon is only 32 mm which I think will be too flexy on a bike of this caliber. It's a XC fork. Depends on where you intend to ride of course. I also favor Deore over NX and half a kilo of lower weight on the 8.
test out a mondraker crafty xr, pretty much the same bike with the orbea but with better suspension kinematics and waaay cheaper (also find second hand ones)
The Information about the Speed was very helpful. I thought about using it with my motorcycle, baut this would Not habe worked out! So thanks for that!! ✌️
