Browsing the internet can be costly. Wasn't looking for a new emtb this year, but now tempted having seen the YT Decoy Pro and Radon Render 10. Currently have Haibike allmtn 2016. Yes, I know there expensive, but can't put price on happiness.

Decisions, decisions. Any other bikes around the 5k mark you think are worth look?. Nice thing about both mentioned bikes is wouldn't have to change anything spec wise. only concern is electronic shifting reliability.

i would buy that as a frame batt and motor combo and add the rest my self. seems if you want the best of everything you need to spend 10k.

Yep, if you spec components seperately it's way more than buying comlete bike. In no rush, as Haibike does all i need at moment, it's just some of these new models look so nice, 700w battery etc. I know you have the Haibike allmtn pro, so takes alot to beat that.

for me its more about control over all the motor settings if i was to get a new bike and the cost of the new batts as well as way over priced.

Get a new bike, more fun. I'll keep haibike as spare, spent a fortune on it, and worth very little on ebay now. What do you think of the two bike i mentioned soundwave.

ref server true, just updated my pc / nas. YT are nice but be-spoke battery putting me off a little, also both bikes have electronic shifting hmm?. There's no perfect bike i suppose. The Radon has a great spec.

I quite like the look of the Radon Render can't deny, but I'd have to save some more pennies and 2 e-mtb's is being greedy a third would be just nutts.

I'm disappointed with Bosch. Their 2019 CX has much too much drag and then 4 months after I purchased the bike, they come out with Gen 4 CX, no drag. No reverse engineering to possibly replace the old motor, no incentives from bike manufacturers. If I get a new bike, I'll probably go with Shimano
