Swear to god, ebikes are the cure to mountain bike boredom. They're incredibly fun, I've seen them get so many people stoked on bikes after a lapse in interest.
@@michaelsturgeon5210 not necessarily, while they definitely benefit those groups, they also unlock the ability to ride a lot further in an outing. I'm not debating if ebikes are good or bad, it's just another avenue to explore the sport.
That's freaking sick cant believe you did that with those pedals aswell. I'm not old enough to afford an ebike or need one yet but they are so much fun
downside of xt silent hubs is that you can REALLLY hear brakes rubbing lmao very much so with new pads and rotors. Once it wears down some its true silence.
Glad you used the stock pedals, shows they are getting better. Still using the stock pedals on my D6. Maybe I missed it but didn't see water bottle bosses.
Love that your riding a ebike. Feel sorry for your other bikes because they will fall victim to e-bike envy. The only bike that has tires full of air are my 3 e bikes. My reg bikes all need air. Other then the Devinci Spartan that just got back from Maui. If my e bike could have been shipped easier, the Devinci would still have air less tires.
If you took away the E part of this bike and put those components on a nice carbon frame I think the price would be very similar. Ebikes are going to get to the price point where it just makes sense to buy them over a regular bike, for most people.
Love the specs on the Mt Bromo would definitely be my pick for an ebike. Bought a Siskiu N9 this year and absolutely love it but i am curious, i havent been seeing anyone riding one lately noticed yours was pulled down and hanging in your garage. Any reason for this? Have they stopped making them, making a new model, or just getting older and not covering them any more?
I absolutely loved my N9, the thing that held it back for me was the geo. I sized up to an xl and it fit perfect other than the seat tube, which made it a bit cumbersome to get around. And the reach on the large is really short so I wouldn't feel very comfortable on it. I'd still be on it if I could have chopped the seat tube on mine.
@@TheShredist thank you for taking time to reply mate. I am on an XL and you are right the seat tube is high. Im 187cm so around 6'1" and it seams perfect for me. Did cop the back of the seat to the stomach on the weekend but that probably had more to do with the fact that my ass was in between the frame and back tire 🤣
Haven’t seen your videos in a While. It’s great that your on a ebike. I commented on other mtb youtube channels that almost all mtb youtubers are switching to e mountain bikes. They are just so much fun. I rode yesterday and it was below 40 degrees and believe me when I say when it’s cold it’s not fun climbing up a super steep hills on a regular bike But on my ebike(Trek rail) I just love it. Oh that polygon ebike is really nice.
I could swear that I've seen @EdwinOlding ride this same trail on his SurRon - I would REALLY love to see a comparison between this bike and his 72V SurRon X. They must be about similar money. It would also be really cool if you collaborated and we got to hear your thoughts on his bike and the way it rides and his views on this bike and having to pedal ;) I'm thinking about throwing down decent money on something electric next year and this is part of my dilemma. Do I get a basic SurRon/Segway and upgrade it piece by piece as money permits, or I buy once cry once for something like this? I could see that I would get a workout riding either bike, but can I live without pedals?!? The biker in me is squaring off against the cyclist in me and I'm having a two-wheeled midlife showdown. This whole bleed-through crossover area of the market isn't one I've seen any coverage of - what are your thoughts? Great video, always like the way you present your material and convey your thoughts. Thanks!
These and the surron are worlds apart. Surron is 100% a dirtbike this is a bicycle with electric assist. I have a couple ebikes as well as a surron but they are nothing alike, surron is closer to a dirt bike, its 2x the weight of these ebikes for reference but is limited to about 20-30miles stock and these ebikes Ive ridden get same mileage but they are 1/4 the battery capacity so it should tell you how different they are if they go the same distance with one having 4x the battery capacity. Also its 500w vs 4800w of power
What does "isolate the rear axle from the rear shock" mean? The entire point of suspension is that the rear axle is connected to the shock, otherwise the rear wheel would either be fixed to the frame (aka hardtail) or freely flopping around.
Its creating a different path of travel for the rear wheel since the rear triangle is moving in a manner where no point of the triangle is mounted to the frame directly like a traditional suspension design is.

They do unlock a different aspect to riding!
So would switching to a hardtail 🤷♂️ , they make the trails interesting and up the riding skill ... e bikes are good for the handicapped or elderly.

That's all I've ever wanted, everyone happy! Lol
Mountain bike boredom?
Love seeing the new cancourse section. That mountain has a lot of potential for mountain biking.
Agreed! They're doing great things out there!
Hoping to see this become as good as Beacon! So glad they’re making progress on it.
Where is this trail?
Nice riding, dude! Definitely jelly of the e-bike! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 💪
I'm not super stoked on e-bikes... Because I'm catholic. I want to hate myself when I ride. Haha. But this thing looks super fun!
Nice bike dude! Bring her down to Asheville, and we can do endless laps!!!
I've never been to the east coast, let alone ride there, that would be a blast!
@@TheShredist and… we can ride year round 🤘
🤯😂😭
Great video Dude!! That thing looks so cool, beautiful And Amazing!!
Dang, Cancourse got even more epic since I rode there in August! Got my wife the Mt Bromo N7 and couldn't be happier.
You were HAULING!!! Stoked to hear you loved it. The new suspension is next level
Oh dang, you just hauled up and down Canfield with that Bromo! Choo choo!
That's freaking sick cant believe you did that with those pedals aswell. I'm not old enough to afford an ebike or need one yet but they are so much fun
The pedals have legit pins so they grip pretty well, definitely still 'placeholder' pedals though
You don’t have to be old to ride an ebike as much as the ebike haters try to convince you otherwise
@@NickyNicest oh yeah I know
small battery = small fun
Wow, you were going so fast down that trail! It was like a toboggan run 💨💨😂
I liked seeing the trail head again. It seems like it's been a minute since you last posted one. 👍💯🚴

my dream bike!
Hope to see you out at Beacon before the snow flies.

More please!!!
XT everywhere for that kind of money on an e-bike? That's actually impressive.
Crazy thing is it was $1k cheaper a few months ago when initially announced. Just wish the battery was bigger
Awesome content man 🤘🔥
What took me by surprise on my first emtb ride was how well it cornered.
That extra weight really keeps the bike planted!
That looks fun!

Is it a heavy bike?
I have an E-Enduro (Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 SL) and an Bio Enduro (Radon Jabb 9.0) and I love both :-)
Do you think the rear suspension will make its way to the other new not ebike polygons?
I think there's potentental, so far, its a really good platform!
Higher cadence gives you more power...you were not in the right gear climbing. Sweet bike!
I didn't want to shift under that hard of load
Howd it feel to ride some real brakes 😏
Kinda noisy
What are your favorite trails in North Id, I live near cda
For our area definitely beacon. The most variety is there!
Is Polygon available in the uk 🇬🇧 ?
Go outdoors stock polygon in the UK
Beat me to it!
ebike? Oh
If only I could afford it😑
Ebikes are definitely super expensive lol
LESS POV!!!!!
Hard to do less pov when its a video about pov on a first ride 🤷♂️
Ebikes are not cure for people's lazyness. You should not have any bike if you cannot be bothered by pedal non e-moped. Eco or Turbo.
Haven’t seen your videos in a While. It’s great that your on a ebike. I commented on other mtb youtube channels that almost all mtb youtubers are switching to e mountain bikes.

What kind of range and elevation are you getting with the battery?
