Does it ride two, or three times better than a 7500, or 5000 bike? I don´t think so. So who is supposed to buy one? Sure there are a few rich morons who buy such things just to be sure they have the most expensive ones. But for someone who just wants to have and ride a capable emtb there is a lot out there for half the price. (wich is probably already overpriced as they are all made of mass produced components wich do not justify the every year rising prices)

@m3drivr Жыл бұрын

This is a halo bike; meant for the 0.001% where 15K is just a soda can in terms of cost. The real takeaway is to go try out the new Trance/Reign bikes. You can have pretty much the same innards with the Trance Advance E+0 and E+1 which are 1/2 the price of this halo bike. I have one and it’s amazing value and performance. The Yamaha motor is not bad, a little whine but the grunt is there. I have managed to climb hills where I never thought I could. Downhill, the suspension is very plush with the live valve. The app continues to improve. Giant just added new features where you can now tweak the response of the motor from a dead stop plus tweaking of the 5 separate levels. Bikes at this price level are generally not meant for mass adoption. Too expensive, hence the limited run. Get a Trance Adv. E+0/1, slap on AXS and you’re golden.
