July 1, 20169 yr 2017 bikes looking good, more battery integration,..integration of motor and battery is so much improved , i might hold off buying, give me more time to save up so less finance needed..man wish i was rich..lol......anyone know when the 2017 bikes will drop???late 2016??
July 2, 20169 yr What are Lapierre thinking with that battery placement? Not the beautiful lines I expect of a Lapierre bike...
July 2, 20169 yr just took the specialized turbo levo fsr expert 6fattie out for a quick test, love the big but the clown tyres are a real turn off..what do people think of these fatty tyres????
July 4, 20169 yr The full suspension 2017 KTM KAPOHO is awesome looking,probably with a price to match.
July 4, 20169 yr What are Lapierre thinking with that battery placement? Not the beautiful lines I expect of a Lapierre bike... It's a bit weird looking that's for sure....might get used to it though. Still better than the Cannondale bikes - they are proper fugly:eek:
July 4, 20169 yr That cannondale is bloody horrible , Each to there own and all that and what a place too put a battery right in the firing line of every rock going , There is some tidy bikes there thou .
July 5, 20169 yr hobbyking e-bike...mmm nice http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__108678__Coming_Soon_MYATMYATU_X7_Electric_Mountain_Bike_26_Fat_Tires_PAS_.html
July 11, 20169 yr just took the specialized turbo levo fsr expert 6fattie out for a quick test, love the big but the clown tyres are a real turn off..what do people think of these fatty tyres???? I missed this post of yours. I've recently bought the Levo 6Fattie HT... and I absolutely love the plus size tyres. There are only a few models in 2016 from any of the manufacturers which come in plus size, but I'm pretty confident there will be many more in the 2017 offerings. The tyres themselves are confidence inspiring, work really well with heavy eMTBs, offer additional comfort over their smaller and less voluminous counterparts... overall, I can't see me considering a bike in the future that doesn't come in a plus size setup. What did you think of them performance wise? And why were they a turn off?
July 11, 20169 yr The Cannondale has a very stupid battery position, which is going to catch every bit of crud and crap going. The Centurion has poor suspension linkage design, that leaves two bolt heads impossible to check as part of regular maintenance. The Trek Powerfly, has cables poorly routed, and are likely to snag up on the first bit of under growth. The Lapierre looks as though the design team misunderstood the design brief and opted to keep the dustbin, and threw away the bike. 10 out of 10 for the worst looking bike ever.

July 26, 20169 yr I know it's each to there own, but I just can't get my head around why anyone wants a carbon e-bike just to shave 1kg of a 20kg bike or am I missing something.
July 26, 20169 yr Author id never have one due to the cost and them things can flex and get major stone damage to the frame then its expensive to fix if riding hard off road or down hill. yes you will save waight but there still to heavy anyway so carbon is just an expensive option. also remember the stuff they use is not airspace quality and far from it and mostly made in china. now if it was made from carbon titanium then id have one but not with a 50k price tag. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbotanium
July 26, 20169 yr Author this is the carbon lapp and can keep it at 8k http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/necromunger666/4919789a742ee2219d272395aa1ee6ea146721607482.jpg
July 26, 20169 yr They use that in the zonda r, now I'd have one of them if I had the ££££££££££££££££££
July 26, 20169 yr Author you come off that going 30mph and crash you be taking it home in a bin bag if it starts flipping end over end. and the batt is in the worst place possible for it to get covered in mud and in the batt connectors. and it looks naff to boot lol
July 26, 20169 yr Author They use that in the zonda r, now I'd have one of them if I had the ££££££££££££££££££ they crash tested the tub in that in 5-6 different cars and used the same tub in each one thats how strong it is
July 26, 20169 yr Author if i was going to buy one id go for this but change the forks. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/necromunger666/image%206.jpeg has the new 12spd cassette so we can have them ill get one when there not 350 quid.

I thought that was an XC fork? Weird to have an XC fork on full suspension bike isn't it?
July 26, 20169 yr Author it depends what you want to use it for tbh but the bottom of the fork will get covered in muck ect and get in to the fork ,not one for eddie tbh. nice n cheap as well http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/rockshox-rs1-acs-solo-air-forks-2016/rp-prod136311
