Exposure Bike Lights Range Explained: How bright do your lights need to be?
i was at Dalby yesterday on the red route.. second time for me on my Ex-e. manage the full route on a fully charged battery.. last week when the conditions were much colder i ran out of duce at 17 miles.. all good fun even for an old git like me..
Here's a few of my requirements if can tell me when do this please. Suspension lock off on handlebars SRAM electronic gears Bluetooth dropper post Mullet Want the lighter one less battery range so can still use fitness. Enduro feel for downhill as battery will get u uphill The better gradual drop out from 15.5mph when battery stops using
Just got one today 😅
Hopefully getting one this week. Ill do an unboxing video
I bought one 61cm yesterday. Can’t wait to ride it on Christmas 🎄
"First e-bike to have a high pivot design"? I don't think so.
Just got this one 2😁
Enjoy 👌.
How much the market price ❤???
From £4899. Come and have a look, it's fabulous in Root Beer 👍. Thanks BBB
This is the best review I've seen keep that up. Maybe if possible do a ride out on one even outside. Thanks for the review.
You are very welcome. Many thanks for the feedback. BBB 👍
Lovely bike the haibike. What is the sensor type im assuming its torque sensor can you enlighten me please
Yes, it's a torque sensor in the motor, for fast response to your pedalling power & speed. Thanks BBB 👍.
Dalby forest is amazing day out for literally anyone it's breathtaking. Dirt cheap as well
We can't agree more 👌.
Just bought one!!!!
Enjoy 👌.
De 7,3 kilogramos nada, pesa 8,3 kilogramos en talla 56 con ultegra la slr, que la he pesado en tienda y no la he comprado por eso. 1 kilo mas de lo que dice la pagina web...
Many thanks for the info. BBB 👍
Whats the weight please
Here at BBB we like to compare weights by testing riding the bikes to feel how much difference it makes. We haven't found any published weights for this model. Thanks BBB 👍
I've bought the lyke and it's phenomenal. What you get for your money is unreal. Very happy with it
Afgree with love the lightweight Fazua motor & battery. Enjoy 👍
went for a ride on my rail and my buddy was on a new fuel exe. He couldn't keep up on the climbs, crashed coming off a rock drop and was out of battery when we got back to the car (20 mile ride). Just say'n.
Hi there, we're not sure what your point is here, when comparing a heavyweight, full power bike to a lightweight, mid power bike. Yes the full power bike has more power & range. ATB BBB 👍
Did you weigh that bike? The Santa Cruz website says 22.45 kg for the R build kit.
Hey there, we don't get too hung up on weights with ebikes these days. We think it's light for a full power bike, with lots of other advantages. ATB BBB 👍
looks like a TREK RAIL
Or the Trek Rail looks like a Santa Cruz 😉. ATB BBB 👍
This is a description, not a review
Thanks for your feedback, and hope you found it useful. ATB BBB 👍
You don't seem to have this bike available online, or in shop.
Please look again. If it's still not there, please email the store, shop@bigbearbikes.co.uk Many thanks BBB 👍
Stock tires are crap on this bike so I slapped on some 38 Marathon Plus and added puncture protection with Mr. Tuffy tire liners along with Slime tubes. I own a Trek Checkpoint and have not had a puncture since upgrading to my triple protection method. Highly recommend this bike with the triple protection method.
Top tip, many thanks 👍. BBB
Trek Rail 9.8 GX Axs Gen 4 $6,000 AUD with 500kms same condition as yours compared to rail 9.9 xx1 axs gen 4 for $13,000 AUD, which one to choose as entry level?
Thanks for the comment, and great to have choices like this in mountain biking. We've come along way in 20 years! BBB 👍
Trek is blowing out their 3rd generation Rail 9.9 right now for $6999 US both XTR and Sram XX1 AXS versions. You have to walk into a Trek dealer to get the price. It's not advertised.
Thanks for the 'heads up' 👍
Coming from a vintage SantaCruz 5010c I had built in 2014, I bought a Heckler SL this summer and it’s difficult to look back. One of the most engaging, fun and fulfilling bikes I’ve ever ridden and has inspired me to totally up my game in riding frequency, duration and gnarliness. Well done SC! 👏🏻
Thanks for your feedback & experience. BBB 👍
hey this bike will be in low selling market for only special customers. motor is too weak to go in local e enuro race events. now they make new rail and new bosch gen 5 . too bad this should have bosch full power and 600 wh new baterry in. That will be awsome to change rail to slash :(
Thanks for the thoughts. Let's ride the bike & see! We have a Demo Weekend, Sat 24th & Sun 25th October 👍. www.dalbyforestcyclehub.co.uk/blog/october-demo-weekend/
I thought the 10 also had a 430????
Yes. Sorry our mistake.
Did you guys have any feedback on this bike as far as the comment above about motor shunting down ? I like your channel guys. The good work 😊
Hi, we haven't had that problems on our customer bikes, so we suggest contacting your supplying dealer or Trek directly for support. Thanks BBB 👍
I bought one of these last month and its great apart from the brakes juddering and making a noise through the frame - even after cleaning/sanding they sound really bad after bedding in!
Have you a local, bike shop who can take a look ? All the best, BBB 👍
@@BigBearBikes Just redone the back rotor and pads. Will try to bed them in tomorrow. If this fails I will buy a new rotor! Spinning the wheel I can hear it catching the pads every 1 rev, so will try and straighten (but dont think thats the problem)
@@Dangerous_Brian Good luck 👍
Which AllMtn is it 🤔
The 10, now also in Blue 👍.
The 10, a great value bike in the market 👍.
Didn't mention my favourite feature, removable side mounted battery.
Sorry about that. Thanks BBB 👍
Nice bar and stem combo. Also the round spacers are fire. All this perfectly matches this semi aero shaped frame. Good job trek, you clearly did not cheap out on components
👍
Hi what exactly stem and spacers you have in this emonda? I have other basics type, and then is not looks good like yours. This is much better and more ellegant. Thanks
Just the stock items for this model & year. Thanks BBB 👍
And the prices are?
www.bigbearbikes.co.uk Thanks BBB 👍
Yes they are priced
Looking at Tallboy in orange and purple in cc frame if I can just buy the frame to build up, or the new Specialized Epic Comp in orange.
Great options 👍. Thanks BBB.
Can you fit a dropper seat to this bike?
Yes you can. Thank BBB 👍
Investors been riding the SL5 on Arizona trails for 2 years. It is superb.
That's great - many thanks for the feedback 👍. BBB
Unfortunately the Trek SL5 (I own one) is not geared for climbing fully loaded and does not have capacity to install a winder range cluster. Suffice to say its a huge compromise when bike packing or touring. In hindsight Cannondale may have been a better choice
Hi, we'd have to disagree with you on this one. The 105 groupset is a climbing range of gears, and can be easily extended further should you need. This is what we do for out Trek customers. Many thanks for your feedback, BBB 👍.
@@BigBearBikes I appreciate your feedback. Trek In Perth Western Australia are adamant it cannot be done. Based in your feedback I will seek out an independent retailer for advice
I upgraded to this last week from a Trek Dual Sport 1 that I bought 3 months ago. Night and day, this is by far the best bike I've ever owned.
That's great! Many thanks for the feedback and enjoy your bike. BBB 👍.
Great review. I bought this bike yesterday, on sale, from $5300 to $4500. This is my first road bike and the first bike I've purchased since 1997. I never thought I would pay $4500 for a bicycle but I told myself that this was an investment in health, fitness, mental, and leisure. The bike is amazing. It's referred to as the AXS or ETap. It uses SRAM Rival electronic shifting. I prefer SRAM over Di2 because it's easier to use and the shifting is simple. I took it out yesterday for a test ride of about 10 miles. It performed amazingly. Carbon makes a big difference, and comfort-wise, it was great. The 32mm tires makes it even more comfortable. I am not any type of hardcore rider, I don't race, I don't do group ride, and I don't belong to any clubs. I just ride for enjoyment and cardio. I could have gotten away with the Domane AL 5 Gen 4 or any non-carbon fiber non-electrical shifting model for the type of riding I do. But I thought to myself, "what the heck." But I'm loving this bike and glad I went with Trek over the other brands.
Many thanks for your thoughts & great feedback, much appreciated! ATB BBB 👍.
Just bought one today. Picking it up tomorrow , will be my first road bike as well. Got it for $3k. Couldn’t pass it up .
would a xxl frame fit me? I am 1.90 cm/6ft 3 tall
Hi. We would recommend you visit a good, large bike shop, so you can compare & test ride different frame sizes. Like Big Bear Bikes 😉.
If the US bike companys keeps this marketing strategy with worse bike for more money and a lot of marketing nonsense they will not survive. Companies like Canyon and the Chinese brands will take the market.
Many thanks for the opinion. BBB 👍
Good plan. Weight isn't everything 👍.
How fast is it
Up to 16mph or 25kph with the motor switched on. Down a hill with you pedaling, as fast as you can go! Thanks BBB 👍.
Is this battery easily removeble?
Yes, it's very easy to remove. Thanks BBB 👍.
I see what they were trying to do here by blending the two models, but this just doesn’t get the mix right for me. I think I did a better job by buying my 2024 Emonda SL7 and strapping ENVE 65s onto it. Maybe Trek should have tried a recipe of aero’ing up the Emonda rather than trimming the Gen 7 Madone?
Lovely wheels those, enjoy your very fast bike. Thanks BBB 👍
Half of that weight loss is purely the new group set. Older bike looks better and doesn’t have stupid aero bottles.
Thanks for your opinion. The bottles do offer a small aero benefit, but are expensive. The older model, Gen 7, does look awesome! Thanks BBB 👍
@@BigBearBikes specialised and trek are losing out as some people just like the look of aero bikes.
@@douglasbooth6836Let the buyers decide! From our riding experience, we think the Madone is a great bike, and we have them available to test ride at large Pickering store. ATB, BBB 👍
@@BigBearBikes I have had 2 madones. My next will not be the latest model. Built with the new sram it will look better and only be 150 g off the new one.
Hello Lucy, I am 70+ and am a cycling enthusiast. During prolonged riding, the arms especially around the elbow feels stiff due to holding on to the handle bar for long period of time. Is there a exercise or different posture or additional fittings that we can install in the cycle for alternative posture. Please advise.
Hi Lucy, thanks for the question. Can you drop into our Pickering store please, and we can go through some options for you. Thanks BBB 👍
@@BigBearBikes I live in India 🇮🇳
I wonder about ZEB Select+, does this model have HCS,LCS settings? I am about to decide if go Slash 9 or Norco Sight A1 2024 and these settings are last things where to decide for me:) thanks
Yes the Rockshox Select+ do have HSC,LSC as standard on the new Charger3 model. Thanks BBB 👍
@@BigBearBikes I just found out, that only "S Size" model has Select+ and M-XL just basic Select :( damn
useless video! Find the perfect size go to a store. I want to buy used online. What size I need?
Sorry we couldn't help this time. BBB
Having a look on treks site they only do black or blue for a SL6. I must prefer the red I must check, thank you brilliant explanation about all the bikes they have
Hi, and thanks for the great feedback. Hopefully you will get the bike you want. ATB BBB 👍
Yeah well trek better step up their iso speed noise pro or they be coughing up &12000 on a return
Thanks BBB.
