Thanks for this awesome video. Very classy & tasteful visuals. Makes me wanna ride!
-
This SL market segment appears to be the sweetspot. Love the compare & contrast format. And your video content and commentary is top notch.
-
Another great video! Thanks for taking the time and money to make these informative videos. Also realizing just how spoiled I am to have a 5000 foot climb right out my door and multiple 3-5000 foot loops available to me in 30 minute drives. Spoiled for sure and awesome to have ebikes like these for taking full advantage of them!

This really is the category I am most interested in. The Orbea is super tempting. Great job breaking this down, as per usual!
-
Been waiting for this one!!
-
Thanks for the great video! I think comparing the Heckler SL to a standard Relay is a tough one. If you were to throw a 27.5 on the rear and maybe a coil shock you would have an incredibly supple ride with a bike that wants to jump out of the park. Thankfully Transition sells this config as the PNW edition. IMO this is the best version of the bike.

Dang! Production felt real good on this one!
-
Thank gentlemen, great reviews.👍
-
Nice video!!! A question about the fazua, did you change the default settings for the power delivery or you left it at stock? You can set the rider power watts for a more natural feeling or to keep motor pushing up to 420 watts of rider power. From personal experience makes a huge difference

I like the handling characteristics of full power ebike, the weight adds tractions and smooth things out. And then ride my regular bike if I want a light playful bike. To me full power ebike for rest days and big explorations. And then regular bike for everything else.
-
This is the BEST mountain bike review I have ever watched. Thank you for all of the work you guys put into this. I was curious what your guys feelings are on the Trek Fuel Exe.

Just put my order in for the Transition Relay PNW XO AXS, looks like a beast!
-
Awesome review!! I'm looking into either the Orbea Wild, Transition Relay or Heckler SL. So this really answered some of my main questions like full e-bike or sl bike and heckler sl or relay! Would be nice to see what you think about the different builds for the heckler sl.

Also, where do you see the Specialized Turbo Levo SL fitting in this group? I will be buying soon and the Levo SL is one of my contenders.
-
A slight aside here, a great example of a city/area adding amazing trails and benefiting with an economic boost. SLC UT locals normally drive to St. George, now we have a closer option. Riding in Full Boost is great for a power hour, but it's overkill as an Orbea Rise aluminum model in Trail has tons of range, even at elevation gain. Bikers Edge and other shops know how to set up these eebs these days, that is a key factor when spending the big bucks.
-
Great video, I would love to hear your thoughts on the Specialized Turbo Levo SL compared to these bikes. Where do you think it would line up in the group of bikes?
-
tried the specialized kenevo sl and the levo sl and full power levo on steep tight trails in nz, really prefered the sl levo was amazingly agile and lively also tried the orbea rise, just wished the orbea had alittle more travel and slacker head angle, would be amazing.
-
Great Vid what are the best 24inch kids ebike options out there?
-
Did the battery cover fly off on the drop on that big feature you mentioned when riding the Relay? Looked like something flew off as you landed! I'm a current '21 Orbea Rise M10 owner..Looking t change /uograde..If the Relay has no charging port, how can a range extemder be added/connected? IS one in the works ? Will there be a way to connect it...? Seems like the Santa Cruz may be the sounder bet...

I ride the Orbea wild 23’ and honestly, I can’t tell the motor is working sometimes. You definately feel it kick in though. Maybe the overall ride is just so encouraging ?
