I swapped mine to an ohlins 160mm fork and coil shock for gnarly downs. also changed to a 35mm stem and took out some spacers as the stock setup was too high. lastly, I changed the bike to a mullet. bike is great with this setup

A mullet?! I'm not a big fan of mullets, but that kinda makes sense to slacken it. The Geoset is my preferred method tho- slacker, but keeps the better traction, stability, and efficiency of the 29" rear wheel.

while i have not had any range issues with mine, I did make the same changes you made. I used a 35mm stem to shorten the bike and bars with more sweep and a 35mm rise. I am 6'4" and ride most bikes in the XL size. I ride a XL switchblade and I WISH I bought the Shuttle SL in a Large size. It is a long bike. I would recommend dropping down a size for those wanting a more playful bike. All that said I absoutley love mine. It is a lot of fun to ride.

Nice review! And nice discussion of the trade-offs of the different bikes. You mentioned increased fork travel to 160mm, but didn't say how you like it. How did it change the handling? And in particular how did it change the handling on the less steep trails as opposed to the very steep Pacific NW trails? I'm pretty happy with the 150mm for the trails here in southern California, but I have thought about going to 160mm.

Hawes does allow ebikes, class 1 and. 2 only. Surrons definitely not allowed. I demo'ed the Shuttle LT right from the Pivot factory a while ago and did like it, but demo'ed an Orbea Wild a few months later and THAT bike impressed the hell out of me. I had bought an Oso in the meantime which I don't really get along with, but just got my customized Wild a few months ago and have my Oso listed for sale. I did opt for the smaller 625 watt hour battery to keep the bike a little lighter, but I'm still able to clear 3500 feet of climbing no problem (and I'm 225 pounds). But the bike handles AMAZING especially through the chunk, and it loves to turn (unlike the Oso). I'm a little surprised, I was expecting to see you do a review on the Oso given your past with them, and would love to hear what you think on the Wild (basically a Rallon with a battery and motor).

Thanks for sharing your Oso experience! I have been hesitant to do a video on that bike, and haven’t actually ridden one yet. Will likely wait for ibis to do another eMTB (hopefully 160 travel, SL style, small battery or Tazer style). Orbea got on the eMtB wagon years ahead of Ibis, just like Lapierre, so it makes sense that they are now a category leader.

I am curious how the geometry would compare to an Orbea Rise with MX wheel setup. I find the Rise in this configuration is much more aggressive due to the slacker head tube angle. That’s how I set up my Rise and I find it much more stable descending.

Due to range issues on all the other light ebikes I test rode I ended up with an Specialized Enduro SL and at 6'4" 240 riding in Bellingham I can get over 2.3k vert on boost mode easy and add a range extender there is another 1000. You could get 3k on the bike being so much lighter than me.

The SL bikes are great in theory however you have to ask yourself if the range trade-off is worth the weight savings. For me it isn’t, but for others if you ride in an area with no much elevation or really want minimal assist then maybe the SL is better for you.

Short chainstays probably caused the front wash out of nowhere. Obviously crashes happen. But that crash probably could be prevented if the bike had better balance.

All depends what aspect of riding you find the most fun. If your wheels stay on the ground, a full power, fat eMTB is fine. If you like to ride wheels in the air, jumping lots and putting a ton of input into the bike, then an SL is a lot more fun. And if you're a more casual rider, just wanting to ride regular 'ol MTB trails, the lighter SL bikes are also much easier to manage. Many of us only have ~2-3 hours to ride at a time, too.

My understanding is the Pivot platform is efficient and I ride with a few other midweight e-mtbs, 2 of us on Fazua (Relay and Heckler SL) and one on the Levo SL (new one) and the Heckler is the best for range marginally over the relay, only way Levo SL can manage is with the range extender. Both of us Fazua riders get well over 1000m vertical most or all of that on the highest assist setting.

The point? They don’t suck to jump! Besides, I don’t have 4+ hours to wander around the woods… 2-3 is usually all this dad has to ride. The range extender should help. But even big eMTBs can’t go more than 6-7k vert.

This bike is going for 30% off and still no one is buying them. Shame because it is a great bike

I don't see any discounts on them at all.

@@JeffKendallWeed yes when you look online no discounts due to the competition. Some people actually go to the bike shop to buy these and they will offer you a discount. I picked one up last week from Rock and road cyclery for 30% off . Slx/XT spec model.

TBH I prefer peasant bikes myself, but it's still REALLY fun trying out the eMTBs! And as I say often in my riding tutorials, riding as many different types of bikes will really help improve one's skills in their primary discipline, too.

The peasant bike term doesn't make any sense and calling them analog really makes no sense and there not acoustic either..we ride bikes ..not electric assisted motorbikes..

Peasant is just an overly ironic, sarcastic way of pointing out that regular 'ol bicycles will always be more affordable.
