I was debating on getting this bike or Orbea wild M10. Both around the same price, both have the smart system and 750wh battery. So glad I got the wild. For the weight a lone this bike would not be for me. But overall, I feel orbea really figured out how to make an enduro ebike with this version of the wild.
This one of the only English speaking reviews not done by someone in Europe. Is cannondale worth buying if you are in America? Ha…I found last year models LT 2 for $3500 and LT 1 for $4200…seems pretty cheap for a ebike with 750w and Bosch motor and decent components. I don’t really ride crazy. Trying to get back into riding. Just climb to the top, have fun going down on my local socal trails. Nothing crazy. Still having a hard time deciding on what e-bike to get
Great review guys. Just how I evaluated it. Glad someone agrees with me. A great solid bike for sure. Long in the tail but the trade off is it does the hills which I would rather concentrate on than the narrow switchbacks which are for the younger fellas. Great work gents.
Just Noticed a bit of a struggle to find something non inspiring and still hold your honesty , professional knowledge, and my guess by far, probably some of the most experienced group of riders testing all these incredible new bikes ! Thank you for bestowing your wisdom. And thank you for keeping it real!.
I'm just saying I appreciate the fact that they said it how it is it's not always easy to say something isn't great . And they did a great job of saying it as it is . Great show guys..
Thanks for the feedback! We want to do our best to educate riders on where to spend their money, and we would hate for people to spend money based on a dishonest positive review from us. Glad you appreciate our honesty!
As much as we love the way Mondraker bikes look, and want to like them more, we're not big fans of Mondraker's suspension platform, especially with an air shock as they are very harsh off the top. They have a lot of pedal feedback, hang up and it leads to slower descending times, more fatigue and harsher ride in the saddle on climbs as it hits and hangs on edges. We have reviewed some Mondraker bikes, and found that the O_Chain device helps a bit, but this bike has a much smoother suspension platform that suits us better.
Hello guys, thanks for all the videos. I'm currently torn between deciding on the Cannondale Moterra Neo LT 2 2023, available for €4,999 at a physical shop, and the Santa Cruz Heckler S 29' 2023, priced at €4,899 online. I would greatly appreciate any advice. My primary riding location is in Sintra, Portugal. Or any other bike for the same budget I should lock at? Great video love the channel :)
@@migueljaime24 Boa! Obrigado pelo feedack. Eu fechei ontem com a LT1..Testei-a em Monsanto e gostei bastante. Tirando o facto de ser um pouco mais pesada, parece boa opção pois vem com bom equipamento. Boas voltas! Abc
11 percent progression isn’t enough for a coil shock not sure why they put one on this bike needs to be over 20 percent for that coil to work right just sayin!
Good job as always with the review. I think Cannondale either goes super conservative or super radical (either good or bad way) with their bikes. @EminentCycles didn't participate? High pivot e-bikes got me interested given the power has to go through the idler wheel.
Thanks for watching. With so many different types of riders and terrain out there, we like the fact that different brands offer different bikes for everybody.
Considering, nearly all other bikes with 750wh battery are averaging $10k+, this isn’t a bad deal and decent spec. Too bad it’s the heaviest bike in the line up.
I’ve found these brand new for $3,699… super tempting. I’m an ex shredder in my younger days just looking to get back into riding again and get in shape. Do the climb up and have some fun back down to the truck without killing myself.
This bike, Evil epocalypse, Fezzari Timp Peak, Giant Trance X Adv E+, Ibis Oso, Marin Rift Zone E, Nukeproof Megawatt, Orbea Wild, Pivot Shuttle LT, RM Alt. Powerplay, SCOR 4060 Z ST, Scott Patron eRide and 2023.5 Specialized Levo. We tried to get some of the more boutique-y brands, but they either never replied, didn't have bikes or declined to participate.
@@TheLoamWolf nice line up, looking forward to your reviews! After last year's shootout I demo'd and bought a Turbo Levo Expert. More comfortable and capable than my 2020 Heckler but also a bit heavier. Plan to visit Bend in August and look forward to riding the trails I see in your videos which look fantastic.
