Canyon Neuron:ONFly Review | Compromised To Undercut The Competition?
Просмотров 10 тыс.День назад
The news feeds have been full of new lightweight e-bike launches recently, and we've been guilty of getting carried along by the hype, losing sight of the fact that many of these models are demanding serious coin. So when Canyon introduced the Neuron:ONFly CF7 recently, with a Carbon frame, Bosch SX motor, and sub-£5k price tag, we knew we had to swing a leg over it and see whether it was a bar...

    I took the time to test Moro07 and it is great bike. I spent a few hours on the bike to realise the difference between a good bike and an affordable. Yamaha Moro 07 I’d just streets ahead of the other bike I looked at and for the price I paid it was a no brainer. I have taken the bike to bits and lubricated all three moving parts ( out the factory it’s dry) removed all the cables and re routed them, ( the motor harness and speed sensor harness is too long and this was interfering with the dropper post operation. I have also changed to run a 29er up front and I honestly say I night and day difference in the ride handling and the speed it carries is incredible. The balance and the weight shift to the back of the bike just makes it feel so agile. Down side of this bike ( for me battery size and weight) 500 watts and4.8 kg. For the battery so to carry a second in a back pack is difficult for long days out. I managed to 68 miles on one battery I’m 69kg fully loaded with kit. My girlfriend has the same bike as well and uses every day for work and leisure activities at the weekend she has clocked up 750+miles in just a few months and the only maintenance is chain cleaning and lubricants. As far as I know they have sold out of the bikes in the uk for a few months but that might’ve changed since but if you are near a Yamaha bike dealer / showroom and you want to get an e-bike get down there and get a test ride on one,

    Well done for bringing out a review on well specced, full suss e-mtb’s which ordinary people can actually afford. The great thing about all of these bikes is the fact that they can all be upgraded with a better component set, at the discretion of the end user. Got to tip my hat off to Decathlon bringing to market a full phat, e-MTB for £3k or less.

    • @MBRmagazine
      @MBRmagazine 3 дня назад

      We’re not big fans of ebike hardtails for proper mountain biking. They’re fine for fire roads and dirt tracks, but too cumbersome and uncomfortable on anything more serious. Decathlon actually has a cheaper version of the E-Expl for around £2.5k which looks decent.

      The fact that £4,000 is entry level for electric bicycles is ridiculous. It's the reason I bought a motorcycle instead of an ebike, way more for the money. They are also only discussing RRP, you can get most ebikes for way less than RRP because they start overpriced.

    Good stuff guys! My critique of all of your reviews would be to always mention if a bike doesn't have headset cable routing and highlight that as a huge feature and vice versa to bikes that have it and loudly call them out for it.... the larger MTB media like yourselves needs to help get the message out to the incompetent frame designers out there so this ridiculous kool fad disappears on their next frame release. We consumers can speak with our wallet to drive it home.
