Riders how much travel do you need? I think 140-160 is the sweet spot for me!

Love your videos mate. I’m an amputee, you inspired me to get back into MTB with EMTB. Having a blast. Awesome content, great enthusiasm 🇿🇦

I got a 2022 Reign E+ and put a longer stroke coil shock to get 166mm rear travel and also put a 180mm fork on it. It's an absolute tank to blast through chunk, but it's soooo heavy at 56.5lbs/25.6kg. After having demoed the Trance X Advanced E+ Elite, I think I'm gonna get it. Not quite the extreme enduro bruiser that the Reign is, but I love the light, nimble, poppy feeling of it. So much more fun to ride when riding trails that aren't bout all-out speed and ultra-gnar. And I can give it the same up-travel treatment and get 147mm travel in the rear and 160mm in the front to get it more into the 'Trailduro' category.

nice video as always mate! I just bought the Unno Mith, sitting built up in the garage next to my Kenevo. I can't wait to do a comparison of the two. I'm waiting on some frame protection for the Mith. Just having sat on the Mith and felt the weight I know it's going to be a playful bike. The Mith and Kenevo are very similar, so it's going to be interesting. I'm supposed to be selling the Kenevo, but something in me just can't let it go.

Why would a Trance X E+ be more agile than a Reign? It has a slightly longer wheelbase, a 29-inch rear wheel, 20mm longer chainstays and a slightly longer reach in size L. The only "advantage" is the steeper head angle of 65.8°, although the Reign also has a head angle of 63.7° can increase to 64.5°.

Well I’m loving my first EMTB, a GIANT E+0 with 170/160. 😊

I always supported schwalbe but then I tried a vittoria mezcal, I know you are sponsored by schwalbe but quietly try a vittoria you will be surprised how good they are
