Besides that noisy freehub, I noticed how absolutely quiet this bike is: No rattling, no clanking, nothing! This is a dream! I would love to use this with an onyx rear hub.
Awesome video always Lance. A few places there you definitely got me lost the enjoyment of can not rid anymore. Well I could try but would prefer too get off ACC sometime soon been on there for almost 3 years now with a Back injury
Also very good for light weight riders, I have a Liv intrigue E which is 20 kg, keep up with my full fat mates easy and use about the same power because I weigh less than they do.
Certainly, being a light rider makes a big difference to range. My wife is tiny and only has a 500WH battery, but so far, it has never run out and flies up the hills.
Great video! Discovered your channel recently and loving the content and your reviews are great! Just curious what size you were riding? You normally say unless I missed it. Thanks
Did you have the chance to test it on a bit slower technical terrain? Currently looking for a lighter and more nimble bike than my 24kg husqvarna mountain cross. The motor is probably not the issue as im 95% using eco (50nm) mode, im more worried that it feels too large. My home trails involve some lower speed (around 10 to 15km/h) section with natural obstacles and narrow paths, you certainly feel the heft of the husqvarna there but it also got a shorter wheelbase of around 4cm less, but more than 4kg additional weight and cheap (suntour) suspension. Otherwise im pretty sure it would be a perfect fit as im planning in going regularly to bike parks
No didn't get to test it on any technical terrain, but think it would handle it ok. Would love to have somewhere to test these bikes on rocky uphill trails but nothing where I live.
@bestdayevermtb2 thanks! did you find the suspension hard to set up? The reviews i have seen either really like the bike or didn't seem convinced by the öhlins suspension. I would also expect that the impressions from a RR and XR will differ quite a bit since the coil spring shock should be have more linear than the air shock of the lower spec ones
@kilianlindlbauer8277 I got Mondraker to set it up for me based on weight. To be honest, it wasn't quite right. I think the rebound was a bit slow. If I had the bike longer, I am sure I could get it set up better. It was still fun to ride, but when I did AV8A, I was struggling to make the jumps.
V.Interesting, certainly a well spec'd rig - thanks for the review - maybe I missed it, but how much vert' did you do in those 30km of assisted riding?
Different reviews say between 2500ft and 2700ft for a 200lbs rider, another dude achieved a bit under 1300m (tour+ mode) with 75kg and some girl made it all the way up to 1600m around the 60kg mark. So unless you nees to get there fast you can certainly squeeze a good amount of range out of it
Low weight, full power e-bikes are so fun. The full fat is going out of fashion. 55nm on this is already out of fashion when these new light bikes are already pushing out over 80nm. When you want the power it's amazing to have it.
You lost me with higher cadence… I’m allergic to cadence, the higher the cadence the more adverse the effects are on my body. In all seriousness, cool looking rig though.
Maybe look into some bike with a ep801. In contrast to bosch cx they full power ones can still get under 20kg, some even under 18kg with 160/150mm travel. Examples are a cannondale moterra sl, rotwild re 375 (removable battery and enduro like suspension at 20kg) and a wallis project s (with sturdy tyres 18,4kg). Orbea rise would also be under 20kg but the ep801rs has lower power output and a different characteristic. The ep801 has much more low end grunt than the bosch motors, a cadence of 60 is nearly enough to get the full 600w out of it, holds it up until 80, drops a bit and at 110 the motor cant keep up anymore. In that range its even more powerful than the dji motor, which has a similar characteristic to a bosch sx, the faster and harder you pedal, the more you get out of it. Not as extreme to high cadence, but the power curve looks really similar.
your a inspiration ya old bugger.
What do you mean old bugger? I am only 36!😂

It was a nice quiet bike. The motor makes some noise but pretty good. Love a quiet bike.
You boys are absolutely mobbing down there, jumplines look fun as hell
I hope mobbing is a good thing.😂

We need to get you sorted and back on a bike. Hang in there it will happen. 😊
My Scott parton tells me to change down too lol
Great vid as normal.
Thanks very much. I think my bike does as well .
That bike park looks amazing mate - I need to get myself back to NZ! :)
It is a good fun place to ride.
Great video,Mondraker make some nice bikes,love my crafty rr carbon
The crafty is a nice bike also.
Intersting video! Really enjoyed it.
Glad you liked it.

This was a medium. Mondrakers are quite long, so medium suits me well. I am 176cm tall if that helps.
@@bestdayevermtb2 Thanks, that helps. Really appreciate it.

@bestdayevermtb2 saw that you were always a bit short on the jumps. Any idea what would have caused this?
@kilianlindlbauer8277 I wonder if the rebound was slow and I was getting less pop off each one. Did them on KTM today and just floated over.
V.Interesting, certainly a well spec'd rig - thanks for the review - maybe I missed it, but how much vert' did you do in those 30km of assisted riding?
Sorry I didn't look at that. Typical of me.
@@bestdayevermtb2 #StravaOrItDidntHappen - bugger, prob' the most important metric 🙈
@@GLOBc Must admit almost never use strava. If I do use it I always forget to stop it.

6:44 what is the order you do the runs in for 1 loop??
We have no standard loop, and now a big chunk of forest is gone are normal ride has to change a lot. We try to do a different loop every time.
Low weight, full power e-bikes are so fun. The full fat is going out of fashion. 55nm on this is already out of fashion when these new light bikes are already pushing out over 80nm. When you want the power it's amazing to have it.
What bikes are you specifically referring to?
I agree who wants a flat screen tv while on a mtb,😉
Well it depends, can you get Netflix on that screen? 😁
I prefer the minimalist look.
Didn't think of that good point @@giorgioclavelli1757
Wondering what trail it is at 8:45?
Think its Snakes and ladders?...
Snakes and ladders
great vid buddy !, what size is the bike and your height please as at 176 cm I am between sizes. thanks
I am also 176cm. This was a medium. The size was perfect for me. Mondraker's are a bit longer.
thanks
So were you sucked into buying it then 😁 So what do you think about the belt driven bikes what are you thoughts on them.🤔
I still really love my KTM so not changing that. Would love to try a belt drive e bike.
Haha nice yea trailshreds has a beltdrive. Seem like a nice bike. Your ktm is your baby understandable.👌🤙
What would you choose level or dune, tell me please??
Personally, I would have the Level. For some reason, I found it easier to jump big, and I had no range issues.
@@bestdayevermtb2 Thanks for replay, the same here for the very same reasons.
First comment

In all seriousness, cool looking rig though.
Maybe the DJI motor is what we need.
@@bestdayevermtb2 tempted like you wouldn’t believe, either Amflow need to bring out a super enduro or allow other players to use their motor.
