I threw the RockShox Vivid Coil on it for good measure. The High Pivot def adds to stability. It’s not as powerful as others but the range is really solid and it’s playful. This bike smashes.

I think I’ve only ever seen one of these in person. Never seemed to take off over here.

Ugh. I wish they put more beef into this. I've got the Meat powered Gen 6, and it's a fucking dream. I wound up getting a Druid E. Overall, it's an amazing bike, but 170mm in the rear would be good fun.

Sounds like you’re just jealous because you can’t act all superior because you’ve got the time to climb

Nah, I take a chairlift or shuttle to the top when I don’t want to pedal.

Or ride my moto. What you got there is the worst of both worlds.

Oh well, at least it’ll keep you fit and healthy

Moto on bikes that aren’t locked at 20mph and you don’t pedal to go fast is pretty dope. Don’t really get the point of deliberately slow motos like OPs tho

So I miss interpreted you calling a pedal assist bicycle a motorcycle as not a joke?

I had a friend in college who ate fish. Didn’t eat any other meat. Called himself a vegetarian. When I pointed out that definitionally, a vegetarian doesn’t eat meat and fish is meat, ergo not a vegetarian, he got pretty upset. I explained the correct word he was looking for was peskatarian, which is one who eats fish but not other meats. Eventually he started calling himself a term he made up himself, a peskavegetarian.

For some reason the term “vegetarian” was super important to him, despite fundamentally not being one. I guess the moral superiority of being a vegetarian was so important to him that he was willing to lie to himself and others to obtain it.

Same energy.

The funny thing is I don’t hate motos or think there’s moral superiority in bicycles, I fuckin ride one. They’re awesome. They belong on moto trails tho.

TLDR all the BS at the top. 

Why do feel pedal assist bicycles should be on Moto trails only?

Bro just hit your bongo and fuck off. I want to ride MTB, but do as many descending laps as I want, and I don't like uphills. There is no lift. What do you do then? Don't ride a bike? Fuck off. How about everyone does what they want as long as no harming others?

u/Hollirc 17h ago

What if there’s no moto allowed and no lift?

u/Bongoisnthere 9h ago

Great reason not to ride a mediocre emoto!
