Awesome vid! Was deciding between a trail 3.0 and an enduro 3.0. Found the enduro locally and ended up buying it. The bike is superb! I love the X3 motor. It feels very good. Tuned really well imo. Suspension setup was super plush when I first got it. I kinda liked it but adjusted it for more aggressive riding. Need to keep tweaking it. Spend the extra money if you can, you won’t regret it.
Good choice! My next bike will be a ROTWILD EMTB R.X1000 & PINION E1.12 Drive train. No more derailleurs smashing off or getting off tuned, no more cassete, no more breaking chains. Built in gearbox and belt drive baby. thats the way to go.
My experiences have been excellent with this bike... I have some comments, the geometry's super long reach paired with 29ers is amazing, I call it the Cadillac of trail bikes, it rolls over boulders or crawls down ledges most bikes would have to jump over. Once you get used to the long geometry it's still quite easy to manuever, just takes a little more body weight shifting to really carve it, which I actually enjoy. That being said, the brake pads that came stock needed changing for something with more bite. Like soft organic pads. The quad piston brakes work well, but with the stock pads, it's pointless to have such a powerful break as it's not translated to the rotor with such a slippery brake pad. Tubes that came stock were condom-thin, immediately change them. They'll go flat in no time. The motor is a Yamaha ST, it works fine and I'm getting between 40 to 80km range. While probably one of the most reliable motors, it doesn't feel very natural on the pedal, it has some resistance/delay if you increase your cadence above 80 rpm, but then again, 80rpm that's just bad technique. A little noisier than others as well. No where close to a Bosch or Shimano8 in refinement, as this motor is 5 years old and for some reason the manufacturer decides to fit this outdated motor on the bike. That's the only bad thing about the bike, but honestly you soon forget about it after a couple rides. Just being picky. This bike shines as an all mountain bike, it's an excellent climber, and even better on descent (as long as you do moderate speed over rough terrain) this thing is a technical weapon when going slow on descents, the long reach will have you crawling straight down and mobbing over anything you point at The carbon fiber frame feels tight and is quiet. Suspension is top, make sure your pressure is good and the fox36 is sufficient. Something to always consider, no matter what bike, bring a spare derailleur hanger. The long derailleur on these 12speed cassettes are so easily caught up on something, and the chain tension can get so high on these e bikes that sometimes I bust derailleur hangers just from the sheer torque. And this gas gas has 70nm, I can't imagine with the 90nm of the Bosch. Overall I feel ebikes need to move away from derailleurs. If you got the cash, get a Pinion E1.12 then you have 0 problems. No more fiddling around with the darn derailleur getting out of whack from 90nm of torque thrashing it all day.
@@BenoSaradzic The colossus has that 38fork and Shimano8. Giving it the upper hand spec wise. Also it's reach is long so it's gonna do everything the Gas gas does but probably better considering the stronger fork and more refined motor. The one thing it doesn't have is the carbon frame so it will be heavier and doesn't have the fox factory forks, which have a better damping and rebound system giving you more adjustability. If money's an issue, Go with whatever best deal you can get. But the Colossus seems to be a more well thought out build.
@@BenoSaradzic I run thick tubes with stop leak liquid inside. I also have an insert that forms a barrier between the tire and tube. Plus I carry a flat repair kit. I have had zero flats on over 300km of very rough terrain since switching to this setup, much of this terrain has thorns and burrs by the way. So it even stands up to the little spikey things. First thing anyone should do when getting a new bike is switch to this setup. most Bikes typically come with condom thin tubes, and leave new owners screwed on the trail. They do this to reduce the weight, so when marketing the bike they can shave off a few grams. I haven't run tubeless because I prefer not getting flats at all. The specs I just described add a bit more weight compared, but will absolutely not get punctured by anything out in the nature.
