MTB Vs EMTB | What’s The Ultimate Trail Bike?

I have a Spectral 125 CF9. I could have gone emtb, but I thought I'm not past it yet.

Emtbs

Why do you both talk like you're or Sesame Street?

Giant Trance X 3 27?5 2020 150/140- alu frame 15, 2 kg in my opinion e-bike limit your freedom of bike, and perfect power goes to 3 kg of lazy weight. Analog component, 27.5 wheels and Alu Frame is the best for adventure! Giant Maestro is the Perfect ! 29 for speed, 27,5 for Fun. I choose only Fun of riding!

eMTB sucks past the limiter 25kph… for most fun bits of trail you are past this. So good climbing and meh most of the time. Unless you derestrict it like I do.

Right, so you are saying e-bikes are faster at riding uphill? Got it.

If you want a snake that recently swallowed a pig. By a ebike.

My son is 12 yrs old and 5'4", would the 26" wheels and 17.5 frame fit him ok or will it be too big

I own an ebike and I’m probably gonna sell it to get a normal one.

More Giant content pls. 😊

12k £ e BIKE...at half of that price I can Spec my dream E-bike without all that nonsense overpriced stuff

I think the fact how the E-Mountain Bike market has somehow bestowed the label "Peasant Bikes" upon normal bicycles is a blatantly distasteful marketing ethos. During the era of Kings, Queens, and peasants, most people were peasants. Peasants generally don't think kindly of overly indulgent, pompous and disillusioned Monarchs. And when it came to the nitty gritty of of basic life tasks, everything was done for them.

Are E-Bikes contributing to the need for Governments to bring in Cycling licenses, Insurance, MOTs? How is an electric bike not an electric motorbike? Are they ironically not paving the way for less independence and more costs and legalities?

You guys totally need to do a video with the super light Emtbs riding them completely off. They are fully capable and something that a lot of people don't know about them. Including climbing. A lot of them are in the 30lb range now... So two bikes in one? Show us?!

Too much tech and cables on either for my liking. Love my Optic c1 XTR trail bike 👍 great vid as always!

Don't forget to consider price tag (;

Way to many wires and gadgets, on both.

Bruh ur regular mtb is an e-bike with that e suspension. The pros in the 80s had no sus at all man now some full sus can be cool but any electronic parts and you might as well get into dirt bikes you’re cheating yourself enough as it is 😂

Love the videos guys , but honestly the trance pro is a $9000 AUD bike . I don’t see how many ppl would spend that much it’s crazy . Awesome bike tho

Some people are describing eMTB as being a real sport and the unavoidable future of MTB. As being a trail (running I mean) runner myself as well, I wonder how people will react if the same approach was applied to this sport: like having shoes with electromagnet actuators or treadmills to bring you up on the hills. Maybe the same comments will pop up like “Ain’t cheating, I can run longer and access areas I was unable to reach before”. I hope I will stay on analog bikes as long as I can, while understanding my friends going on eMTB for fun, but most of them are not interested in sport performance or training. What is sad is that we nearly don’t ride together anymore…
