The New Orbea Rallon RS Almost Isn't An eMTB. Is That What Riders Want?
Transition Relay - for a few more pounds, you get a more powerful motor, maybe more efficient motor, and a larger battery.
Plus you can take the battery out for park days.
I know people have had some issues w/ Fazua Ride60 motor, but for me so far no issues.

First Ride: Orbea Rallon DH & Rallon EN
Surprised the article doesn't mention Vampire's Fastarossa (Canfield's new company) as a comparison.

@kazwei: It'll be $5,999 for the US too, b/c Nukeproof will pay the tariff for us.

Canyon Issue a Stop Use Notice for the Spectral:ON CF & CFR, and Torque:ON CF eMTBs
Riding without a battery, is a feature, not a bug, assuming it pedals w little to no noticeable resistance without it
When I go to a bike park w my Relay I take out the battery, and everything rides great.
Have had a few no battery pedaling days on it too. Porky, but not that bad.

Having a removable battery is looking like a smart move (Transition Relay). If such an issue arises, it's easier to deal with.

Evil Insurgent Carbon Frame, Mullet, No Shock
$975 USD* 2022 Evil Insurgent (mullet)
* Size Medium, 460mm reach
* 168mm travel
* Headset included
* takes 30.9 seatpost
* includes lower shock mount bolt
* rear axle included
* oneup chainguide
Has NO SHOCK (takes 205x65 trunion shock, 20x8mm lower, upper requires no through bolt/trunion).
Rides very different from a typical 4 bar FSR-type suspension. It creates a platform that you can push off of much more easily, making it ride much livelier than any 170mm bike I've tried.
This means it's not a "plow" bike, but that 170mm is still there to get you out of trouble.
Very fun w/ berms, jumps, and just goofing around.
Ride Wrapped from the start, but it does have a chipped area in the lower chainstay (see pic), an aftermarket bash guard hit against it w/out shock installed. Cosmetic, no cracks.
Wheel rub marks on chainstay created when I rode down a mountain w/ a flat.
I took off the wrap to show frame's true condition.
Bearings feel smooth, tested w/out shock.
