This could be awesome, I wonder if it’ll have the adjustability of their other bikes, and I wonder if the rear travel will change? 140 rear travel although a small change would make it an even more capable all rounder.

Crestline e-bike isn’t high pivot. Rocky Mountain was the first HP Emtb I can remember.

Honestly its not a bad idea. We know companies come here. If there is a specific forum that shows how stupid their prototype frame is with its new flashy feature that no one asked for *COUGH* INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING…….. *Cough*… then maybe. Just maybe. Someone will say, “yeah ditch the idea.”

I can guarantee you that 5mm of real travel would make a difference as there actually is a difference, maybe its slightly more room for bottom out ramp up, run a little more sag and a more progressive tune , or maybe you run everything the same and it just gives you 5 mm more travel and 5mm more breathing room – would it make or break a bike ? No… but if it didn’t have any tangible effect why would yeti make lunch ride additions and why would other brands such as Santa Cruz make bikes that can be long shocked ?

I know this has probably been mentioned, but I saw a FW bike in rock creek with an electric RAD coil and a controller on the left side of the bars.  Didn’t get any pics or figure out who the rider was 🙁

Yeah, but you usually have the full nigh to charge it… Compared to a normal laptop I’d say it could easily be up to 10 hours to charge it if we’re talking about a 500 Wh battery.

I’d say there’s a reason ebikes currently have purpose made chargers, but it might be possible to make do with a USB c charger as well. Might make for a good selling point even if it is just a backup charging option.

My Fugitive can be short or long travel depending on the rear shock travel.

My Fugitive can be short or long travel depending on the rear shock travel.

if we take a 2.7 leverage rate on a 50mm rear shock travel we get 135mm.

2.7 on a 55mm rear shock gets you 148.5, so lets call it 150mm rear travel.  Youre gonna notice that.

Theres a big difference in shock travel, and rear wheel travel

5mm of additional rear travel, not a chance.
