First Ride: The Shuvl eMTB Can Work With Any Motor, But at What Cost?
Needs fenders and fairings. Basically a motor bike frame. That shock angle/placement is just criminally ugly. The front 3-4 view is actually pretty cool with the 3d triangulated heat tube support structure.

Only the BB moves. Leverage curves are the same for all sizes.

Norco Sight A1 160 MX Size 5 White
$3950 CADAluminum Norco Sight A1 160mm rear 170mm front. 29" front wheel and 27.5" rear wheel. Zeb Ultimate up front, Vivid coil Ultimate with Sprindex 500-550Lbs spring. Maxxgrip Assegai front Maxxtrail DHR2 rear. Sram GX Transmission. Sram Maven silvers. Completely stock everything.
In great shape! Has maybe 15 rides on it most of which were shuttles with about ~700m descending. Has been ridden enough for exactly one derailleur battery charge haha (last Cypress ride I was single speed). Rear wheel has a small dent as shown in the photos but the wheel runs true and hold air great. Partially Ride Wrapped. Paint is in good shape. Rides awesome- perfect for park or for steep trails.

First Look: Devinci E-Spartan
@JonrmJSR: Not true. Not many MTBs have robot welded frames as the production volumes are too small (set up cost is quite high). A skilled welder can turn out amazing welds by hand.

First Look: Devinci E-Spartan
Most higher end Asian built alloy frames have a dual pass weld plus filler putty. They lay down a normal weld bead and then they go over it again to smooth it out and then they blend it with filler putty so the joint nearly inviisble under the paint. This Devinci seems to just be the standard single pass weld, but unfortunately they let the apprentice weld the photo bike.

Head to Head: 2026 Santa Cruz Tallboy vs. 2020 Norco Optic
This is probably the video you're thinking of: https://youtu.be/c8o3ZiKM0lY?si=8f8chuCOTzbcU9Sc
Scott Secco directed this one, so good. Bryn's riding style is just great.

Final Randoms - Eurobike 2026
Are you kidding? Who cares if there is some micro mobility company there or not? The show is in multiple halls and the stuff like that is off in one of the far flung halls. The big guys are in the prime locations (Shimano, Bosch, etc). You should go to Eurobike one day. It is awesome. So much bike stuff to see that you'll go cross eyed before you get to the hall with the weird junk.

Review: Sour Bicycles Double Choc - Exotic Normal
Could the seat stay and link arm be any more out of place?
