I'll choose enduro, even though I could do with trail - I'm going for more suspension just because I can 😂 And I've been riding 140 mm for so long I want to be on the plush side 😊
Full power, I don't care what motor I get. I'm more interested in the rest of the bike. But I have chosen to pick up a Canyon Torque:On this summer so I suppose I've chosen Shimano 🤣
Ok and in bike vault/volt that Hibike was nice because it matched the bike park sign! Rear triangle had the green and the HiBike name had the cream in the sign! So it is about the environment!
so sad I didn't meet you in Finale.. still I was lucky enough to meet Rich in Melogno in October :))) For that climb on Roller Coaster some downcountry bike will work. And for the whole trail actually ;))
I’m curious if your LT has the new 801. I’m thinking that may make it almost as fast as the Bosch, and having an extra 10 mil of travel on the back maybe very appealing. I am currently riding a Crestline Rh4 with the 457 mm rear chain stays. I love this bike but keep wishing it was a little shorter in the back end. I am definitely considering the pivot AM however, I think 148 is not enough travel for me, which is pushing me towards the long travel But then how much power will I get from that Shimano.
i dont would any bike with EP8 instead of EP6 Or 801. The Brain in the 801 and Autoshift in roling areas is so much more fun to ride... EP8 isnt outdated i fact of power and eff. But in terms to connect in future.
@@garyfuller6553my LT is the original 800. I personally cannot tell the difference between the 2 Shimano motors tbh. (And wont be using autoshift) The major difference between bikes is the lighter weight of the front end and possibly a little more grunt from the motor on the AM if I set it up that way. I can pedal the bike easier after 20 as well. Probably the fastest bike of all 3 at bike parks is the SL, as you can easily push past the 20mph mark. I have all 3 bikes from Pivot and know them all very well. Location/terrain plays the biggest part in your choice. My AM would be my choice if I could only own one.
My kenevo comp, SLX brakes and XT drivetrain, cost a good bit less than the entry level pivot switchblade (not an ebike), and basically same trim level (if not even a bit better on my Kenevo). Pivot makes beautiful bikes, but, man, you pay dearly for them.
The same reason Lamborghini’s are so expensive- because someone is willing to pay it. Good for them! I just hope they pass on the $$$ to their employees
I would not spend over 3,5k on a ''high performance'' ebike when I can have better specs for 3,5k. Carbon frame for 700€, motor 700€, battery 1000€, brakes, suspension, transmission 1000€... Total 3400€
