Why This Tiny Bike Brand Is Beating The Competition 

$12,000 US and "All bikes from the first small batch that arrived early in March are SOLD OUT and have shipped but we have more shipping very soon".

Dental Bike ..... my 2019 CF Warden was 3500$ bought with 300km lady rode 😎

Bloody hell 13000 dollars 😢

vCard Vvvv😂 Pp

I’d ride the shit out of one and love it but you are right. Too much money. Motorcycles cost less than that.

Is that you zimmer

@@chickenclips It is .... Shsssss 🙂

I just bought the core3 Mx when they had the 25% off sale here in California. Out the door I spent 5300. Can’t imagine spending double that for a bike. I’m just an average guy who likes riding and am not in a pissing contest with people who can’t ride any better than me with their 12k bikes. Makes no sense

We will be struggling to pay the bills soon, never mind buying a 10g bike 😂

its crazy, you can get a high performance dirt bike or quad for the same price.

Orbea Wild best by a mile surely

@@jordanmackay3568 Why?

@@jordanmackay3568 Nice bike but no mullet option

COGs are usually 25-20% of MSRP for most product (e.g.- company I work for). If COG’s are 8,000 for this bike, that’s pretty hefty. They have to account for their profits and reseller margins too based on a niche market and lower volumes. They aren’t becoming overnight millionaires. I understand it’s the reality we live in today, but that doesn’t make it affordable.

@@energ8t a voice of reason amongst those who live in a bubble world of cheap consumer junk.

decition ?

12000 bucks to you....

That's opinion though. It's nice that some passionate well liked bikers have made an ebike, And it's well made for sure, But too much fan boy hype going on in these comments lol. It's not the best looking bike in my opinion, Not even close. And not the only one with long travel (even though there aren't that many), It's just another ebike on the market but a good one.. Not good enough for the price imo, And there are many passionate people in the bike/ebike world.

their vs there

Would of bought that prowler instead of the crestline if it was available in the US. When that bike does make it here, the angry “bikes are overpriced” crowd are gonna lose their shit

During the process of ordering one their bikes, I was able to speak to one of the owners directly about the setup and what he suggested for me to do. It’s clear these guys are passionate about what they do and their customer is 💯

Hard disagree. Big brands for cheaper is the way I'd go. No brainer for me, but also just an oppinion.

​@@Mi_MonoI must agree, you get technical support on top of the more approachable price.

Nah, who doesn't like to spend 10 grand on a bicycle that craps out at 15 mph? 😂

The Orbea Wild M-LTD is the best comparison to this bike. M-LTD is $12k🤷🏼‍♂️

@@LeeCruz-bl4qz let me decode all of these posts “I’d like to publicly state my total opposition to the very existence of things that are not within my wheelhouse. This includes: large houses, first class cabins, very good looking people, very fit people, expensive cars / motorcycles/bicycles. If I can’t afford it or if my wife won’t let me buy it nobody should be allowed to even make it. And if the do make these things I can’t have, I proclaim them stupid and not worth the money. Thank you.”

@@shanecurnyn4612 😂😂😂

If you configure an Orbea wild with a kiox screen and similar components it’s $12500 and that does not even seem to have the new bosch CX-race motor included. If you’re looking at the orbea entry level builds you’re not comparing apples to apples. Same thing if you compare our bike to a high end built SC or Specialized what you’ll find is ours are actually cheaper. An S-works levo “on sale” is the same price as our bike. Food for thought.

​​​​@@crestlinebikesexcept those brand you mention have service shops all over the country. Usually factory-direct brands like yours are better value, like yt, fezzari, comencal etc.

Agree! The markup must be ridiculous

did you not hear "This is a small bike company". It's all very custom small volume and hence expensive. If you can't afford it too bad. go whinge somewhere else.

When a MTB is twice the cost of a motorbike its worrying

That bike isn't all that!

​@emveeess839 it doesn't matter if it's a small company or not. And good for them if they are making it work, but pricing 99.9% of the customer base out isn't the best way forward for me. Why shouldn't some smaller brands actually compete worldwide v trek/santa cruz etc? That's all I would "whinge" about. I dont want to be beholden to the bigger names.

12k not sure on warranty. Didn’t read much past the price tag haha

Save your money, some douchebag will just steal it anyway.

Bosch make a 750wh, 625wh and 500wh for the new smart system. We’ve used all 3 options in our bike and they work perfectly. You therefore have the ability to drop the weight by as much as the difference between a 750wh battery and a 500wh battery which equates to approx 1/3 in battery weight at most.

4-6 weeks

i have one and it's sick !!!! put we are one strife wheels with i9 hubs and a coil and the 23 zebs have some videos on my channel

@@dannywild100 do you ever feel “over bike” or pretty good all round?

@@benjackson1958 no not at all , it's so good on everything , great all around bike , it actually won loam wolf's ebike of the year last year , thats why i bought it

what emtnb do you miss that is better and lighter than what is available today?

Essentially you're only buying a frame, all other components are readily sourced locally, all bearings etc. That's one of the good things about the bosch ecosystem aswel, you can just take that to your local authorised dealer.

There’s plenty of brands that offer low spec bikes, you just aren’t going to find that with any small boutique company. It’s like saying why isn’t there any cheap exotic Supercars 💁‍♂️

​@@streddaz And what is so special about these bikes made by small companies? Their frames are made in the same factories in Taiwan, China or Vietnam as all the other brands. Maybe there is better quality control and screws are tightened with the right torque? Are they faster uphill or downhill? Are they much lighter in comparison to the competion? Are the frame materials better? I see where you're coming from with your comparison to cars - you can basically buy a new car for the price of that bike. Bike prices, inflation aside, have been going up for a while now and we're not getting more for that money, I'd argue we're getting less - i.e. Trek increased prices while lowering the spec for some models like Trek Remedy, also many new bikes arrive in appaling state like they didn't have any quality control at all or with components which are not working properly. So there are ways to compete with big brands like innovation, good value for money, quality, good warranty, easy maintenance solutions or at least make the freaking bike look like a piece of art if you demand this kind of money. I just don't see the point of 12k dollar "butique" bikes which seem not to offer any of those. Bikes are getting more and more expensive each year without much in return and that's what I'd like to see change with small companies - if you want more money for you bike than the competition show that it's worth it.

@@szyszkojad666 the point is, that someone will buy it simply because it unique, and while people are willing to pay the price that bikes are now, bike manufacturers will keep the prices high. I’m sure if you had an item that you could sell for a lot of money you wouldn’t say “I’ll sell it cheap because someone might not be able to afford it”, you are of course going to sell it for the most you can get.💁‍♂️ If the economy goes down the tubes in the next year or so, prices will come down, but until that happens I can’t see prices dropping.
