A bit like Flow. Good to get a look at the bike, but in the end, every bike is "the best ever"View attachment 408437
I like watching these videos but those bloke get bikes given to them to test, if Steve Jones blew his load over a gearbox eeb, or another was loving dual crown, the supply of transmission spares, random single crown bikes and S-Works frames might not flow as freely.
They are good docos but don't bite the hand that feeds you.
Keeping the 29 front wheel , a good head angle and more travel than the SC fork had would be a pass in my books , not like their effortI've done pointless too. Though telling everyone that a dual crown is better that a single was never going to happen.

The Oso is rated for a dual crown fork, meant to be 180mm max but whats an extra 23mm 170 rear, 203 front.Keeping the 29 front wheel , a good head angle and more travel than the SC fork had would be a pass in my books , not like their effort
I'm hearing ya! In 2017 I fitted a Bafang BBSHD mid drive kit to my old DH bike for a laugh. At that point , I became an E biker (oops!) and the laughs continued every time I rode it. I fitted a dropper post , 11-36 cassette , mid cage der and rode that thing for over 3000ks in the years that followed.The Oso is rated for a dual crown fork, meant to be 180mm max but whats an extra 23mm 170 rear, 203 front.
I was dual crown curious then someone here (@shiny) put forward an idea at a vulnerable moment and I ended buying a Dorado Comp, it was an impulse buy and I didn't do any research, found out the comp was sprung so I returned it and got the expert, which is air along with the pro.
Thought I would give it a try and its been on there since September, completely transformed the bike. It will remain there while the bike is still alive and kicking, such a nice fork and the bike has taken my riding skills to a whole new level. Big travel, slack, downhill tyres and the motor to assist moving the big boy just works so well.

8" of plushness , all the traction and braking you could need , it would climb anything if you could stay on it! That bike would have collected dust in the garage , it turned out to be more fun that I had imagined. Eventually the frame cracked and I suppressed the irresponsible hoon within by purchasing a conventional EMTB.
If I was to buy a second E bike right now , a 29" E DH bike would be the business.
I like the look of both the new Mondrakers too.New Mondraker Dune looks interesting.
I like the aesthetics of their bikes, and I reckon this or the Neat would be a hoot to ride if you had some decent downhills to hit.
My riding is more undulating trail though so would be wasted on me.
I also don’t think they have any e-bikes available locally by the looks!

The flagship alloy enduro DT EX1501's have been 28h for 6+ yrs. A lot of wheels come 28h now, suppose it looks better in the weight specs and if built correctly, will be better than a shitty built 32h wheel anyway.Why are mondraker so into 28 spoke wheels though?

I'm seeing more and more on eebs too... Which usually attract a heavier less finessed crowd.

While I would like to look like Val Kilmer this statement does resemble me.Which usually attract a heavier less finessed crowd.
I dunno, have you seen my line choice?@cammas and @Rorschach, you know the crowd I'm referring to.
