Nice review I know what you mean about the flow feel with the extra weight all you need is a slight decline and they just keep picking up speed Red trail looked really fun towards the end
I was waiting for a video like that 👍. Didn‘t you feel a big difference in the way how playful the bike was compared to your trek ? Especially when doing manuals or jumping over roots on the trail ?
Thank you 👍 Yeah, I think the Trek Fuel Exe is more playful so would have been more fun in one sense at a bikepark, but the trade off is half the trails in twice the time and twice the effort! The truth is that bike would be amazing whatever bike you take! 👊
I did get it down to the last bar of battery by the end of the day, but got so many laps in I was broken anyway! I think for bigger bike parks like Bike Park Wales which has a long climb the 900 battery would help, but for smaller bike parks I wouldn’t want the extra weight so I’m finding the 720 more than powerful enough 👍
@@ForestMountainBiker yer I wonder if they will release the next SpectralON with the bosch system, they would have to rework the skinnier frame to fit the proprietary battery's so perhaps not 🤔 How do you like the EP8 with the 720? how long do you find it lasts whilst at the bike park? Thanks
@@JR-pf7kk The 720 battery lasts longer than I do lol 😂 I’m getting on well with the Shimano motor, has a bit of a rattle and didn’t like being updated via the app, but otherwise it’s powerful and seems reliable so far 👍

Thank you 👍 Easy to go too big sometimes! That trail at Windhill is sooo good!! 👊

how's that rear shock holding up? Is it working just fine and you did feel the need to upgrade to some something with a reservoir?
All good, I wouldn’t mind upgrading the shock but tbf it’s working fine and taking the hits so until it breaks I ain’t fixing it 👍
@@adamproph5106I've seen your videos, and you seem to be the only one posting about it
have thought of a coil? i just bought the cf9
I’m more of an air shock rider myself but I can see why some would go that route 👍
How long did the battery last for you at the bike park?
Thanks

What size battery did you use a 750 or 625?
Thanks
It’s the 720wh battery 👍
My bad I thought It used the bosch system for some reason 😅
@@JR-pf7kk No worries, I think Canyon do use Bosch on some of their e mtbs now 👍
