it doesn’t have sliding drop outs - the “adjustability” is to switch between post and IS mount brakes. This is why they made a 300 page document all about it…Why do so many brands want to take the simplicity of a hardtail and tart it up with sliding or otherwise adjustable dropouts? That shit never stays tight in real world applications without a ton of fiddling and maintenance.
You chose to ride a primitive hardtail… there’s no performance gain from swapping back and forth from singlespeed or wheel size or rotor size or CS length or whatever. This is all internet mountainbiker BS for slow dudes averaging 3 rides per month.
I will say I was a bit sad when I saw the reach numbers, but I'm not really the target market.so much effort for a hardtail with outdated geometry

Healthy numbers for the e-bike sales. Lol @ the "e-mtb dominates the share" claim when they seperated urban use into 6 different categories haha. E-trekking, e-cargo, e-urban, etc.
tens of thousands of lazy ass germans?900k emtb to 90k mtb
what do you call this?
I meant as a percentage of e-bike sales. "E-mountain bikes retain their lead" when they basically divided urban use into subgenres based on paint colour900k emtb to 90k mtb

switzerland is still different but i need to sell about 3 amish bikes to make the same revenue than with one ebike. guess what i‘m peddling? sold about 20% more in 23 than my predeccesor did in 22. hello pay risetens of thousands of lazy ass germans?

They should divide the eMTBs into XC, Enduro, Trail and all-mountain if they're doing that then.but they ARE different segments?
cargo bikes are great. especially my (only torque sensing, hub drive) RadWagon 4, as that was net ~$1,100 before accessorizing/bedazzling it thanks to Denver's since-lowered-amounts rebate program.
interesting...dealers i know here were among the earliest to adopt/advocate...fine with me for commuting, etc., but i'm still firmly in the "fuck e-mtbs" camp.switzerland is still different but i need to sell about 3 amish bikes to make the same revenue than with one ebike. guess what i‘m peddling? sold about 20% more in 23 than my predeccesor did in 22. hello pay rise

My impression from Spain is that people love arriving wherever they’re going in the city quickly. Ebike is the fastest. They also like arriving not soaking wet from sweat. Ebike lets them do that and feel superhuman at the same time. I get it. The catch is being able to afford it and having somewhere secure to park it and charge it.Yeah I dunno about Germany but cost of living pressures in Oz are pushing a lot of people to get eebs or bikes to commute to avoid expensive parking, fuel and whatnot involved in getting into the cities.
