Awesome Video Lance really enjoyed it. I didn’t realise there was such thing with Auto Gears on a bike. Looks like Graham differently was enjoying riding your KTM I was surprised he wanted to give it back to you.
Very tight sections in these trails, not a big fan of that, nor automatic modes and gears. The guy riding your KTM seemed to have a good time, nice ride! 👍
Watched to the end and didnt learn anything about the KTM other than "really good" and the fox fork felt nice. There must be more feedback on handling, motor, climbing ability etc
I found Lance's bike setup a bit firm for me . I guess for the stuff he jumps ,it's safer on the firm side. Now I have a few ks on my own and have it set plusher I find it much better. The race motor rips and the smart system is also an improvement over the old model. Only thing I don't like so far is the 150mm dropper post . G.
Forget about trying it on Splitenz Lance . Rode it on Friday & it's a shakefest . Blew a foot off the pedal at one stage . It must've been a he'll of a track when it was new but it's a battle for survival going down there now Relentless & bumpy , enjoyable nonetheless. How about a sprint up ApuMoana on the Blue Lake side?

He now has his own one, so he is happy
Man that might have been the best conditions ever to ride at Oropi! looks like you had a fun day out 👍👍
Made better by riding the Merida super spec bike.😊

Review of that bike next week. Must admit not a fan of auto gears.

It is awesome you ended up getting one. Suspension set up has never been my strong point.
Sorry about that. Not sure if you have seen my review on the bike but there is more there. ua-cam.com/video/NTpVK5A6ClM/v-deo.html

Too late. Already done it. Video next week.
Another good one. The motor on you Merida sounds dam noisy did you actually notice the noise well riding it?
I didn't really notice it being any louder than other e bikes, to be honest.
Graham’s a shredder! What brakes are on the Merida?
Sram Mavens. Full review next week but I loved the brakes.
I like the look of the Merida. Is it owned by a Rastafarian?
YA MAN
Yes, it is. He is white with no deadlocks but likes some Jaimaican flare.😂
i saw you at woodhill then i crashed and broke my arm
Sorry to hear that. Hope it heals up fast.
Thanks 😊
Love the videos.
Is the 801 close to bosch on the ups?
In my opinion, it's not even close. I do that test in next week's video.
are automatic gears anoying
NA MAN
It's a a Ya man from me. I'm not a huge fan.
Most expensive e-mtb... every made (well, almost).
Don't buy anything starting with 'M'!! 😁
What about a Mondraker?
@@bestdayevermtb2 Maybe??
