I've just donated my old Rose Granite Chief to my son, and I'm looking to get myself something that I can keep up with him on.

Probably looking at full suspension again, 140mm or so of travel, preferably a Bosch motor, up to around £3k, any recommendations please? Cheers
 
Thank you for the links, it looks like I've got a Rocky Mountain authorised dealer about 30 miles away, so that could be an option.

My LBS was a Giant dealer, but I think they've lost the franchise, so I'll pop along next week and see what they've got in now.

It looks to be all about compromise (especially on my budget) when looking at the specs, whether that be on the motor or the components, I'll do some more research.

Rocky Mountain are not a safe bet right now - currently going through restructuring to avoid bankruptcy. Be very aware of what that may mean for warranty, support, etc.

Thank you, I hadn't seen that, I'll do some googling.

I'd avoid anything with a yamaha since they stopped selling their own brand bikes in the states etc.

they could just abandon their electric motors as well

Funnily enough, I was just reading about them not selling their own brand bikes, think my initial instinct of Bosch might be the way forward.
 
So, I'm still pontificating, and back to full suspension again, don't ask...

I've now got 2 specific models on mine, one a 2024 model, the other a 2025 model :-

Any opinions please? I'm hoping to use it to hit a couple of local trail centres, and also for some road rides with some hard tail mates with a different set of tyres.

Research the company as I'm not familiar with it, but this is a good deal.

Another thing to consider is if you require a removable battery or not, personally if a bike has an integrated battery that can't be charged away from the bike, it's a dealbreaker for me.

Think I'd be a medium on that bike, and they're out of stock unfortunately.

I think a removable battery is a necessity for me too, not sure the Mrs would appreciate me charging a full bike in the living room...

Just got my Cube Reaction Hybrid 800. Only had a 5 min blast at lunchtime but loving it so far. I'd like to desrestrict it (I know, I know), and looking at this https://www.shop.bikespeed.de

I'm reasonably happy with the 15.5mph limit on mine, it just means you have to put more effort in to go faster than that, not always easy when the bike weighs nearly 25kg, but it's all part of the fun.

I may hold off getting a chip, as Bosch are releasing new firmware in July which will unlock configurable torque (upto 100Nm) and an increase in power (upto 750W) for the Gen 5 CX.

Hopefully something down the line for my Gen4 too then.
