reed scott I think that TomD has got the 2300 watt version, but I may be wrong. I have the 1000 watt one. (lol Tom replied at the same time ) I run a XT 11 speed cassette but would run SLX and with a Ebike spec kmc chain. I get 400 - 500 miles from the chain and 800 - 1000 miles from the...

jjonesx86 Agreed the Fox 36e or the new 38's would be my choice if I had infinate money :) But my Lyriks are pretty great. But all of the above options are very high end forks which are made for mainly top riders to cope with any type of gnarly terrain. And would possibly be overkill for...

EBRQuest Tame the beast! I like that quote :) but that is exactly what the Archon does it still has all the power and more but it is so much more user friendly. I may be wrong, but I have heard of a few people using a phaserunner and it seems like you are restricted to throttle power only...

Thats at least 3 of us in that boat then. I used to take my charger to work just to make sure I could get home, now if really lazy I can basicly let the bike do all the work both directions if I want.

Hi all I was thinking about blinging up my drivetrain with a set of new Hope ebike cranks. The ultra uses a isis fitting so that is no concern. The one worry I have is the clearance with the motor. The question I have is, Has anyone else used non bafang cranks with the Ultra and has there been...

Nice ride, and yeah the archon rocks. I have gone back to work after lockdown so my bike is getting a lot more miles under its belt, and I have done a few epic rides on the weekends 30-40 miles with battery to spare! I would never had attempted this before the upgrade, the extra range keeps on...

I try not to think about my chain or cassette wear:) but it is not as bad as I thought it would be to be honest but I am being very careful with shifting, gear choice, and I am keeping up with cleaning and lubing the drivetrain regularly atm. I get about 600 miles out of a chain and I change the...

Leon S. Kennedy I do not have this bike but I have something similar that does the same job with a similar capacity battery and the same controller upgrade. With the Archon upgrade that battery size actually provides a decent amount of range, 20% minimun increase over a standard ultra. Some...

LOL I know what you mean, I often dont relise the speed I am going. Grippy tryes 160mm of suspension, and the security of a decent set of brakes. It sort of feels like you are going slower than you actually are.

The motor is great bit of kit but it is called a G510 not E510, I do not know what the forks are? but going by the picture they are definatly not any model of Rockshox. The general componantry (if it is what is claimed) will probably do the job but is certainly lower spec. To be brutal I think...

I cuncur with byunbee. Personally fat tyres are not much use for me. Rarely snows and there is not much sand. We get plenty of mud but a narrower tyre like some Magic Mary's are brilliant in the mud. I have built the bike to accept up to about 3 inches which is as wide as I would go. Currently I...

There is hardly any resitance in the drive with the ultra, except for the extra weight it pedals exactly like any bike. I expect the BBxxx's are the same. the motor completely disconnect's it has a 2nd freewheel/ pawled clutch in the bottom bracket. I do not have much experiance with hub...

Yes my first test was at PAS 5, and it did over 25 miles easily, It is great fun. You may even get away with throttle only for shorter trips, I have a modest 728 watt hr 48 volts battery, so I have not as big a capacity as some of these guys are running. And Enduro knobbly tyres will also be...

I use mine for commute and fun/fresh air. Both on road and in the woods. Off road it certainly is good exercise but for more for the whole body rather than just the legs the extra weight probably makes this more taxing, On the 1000 Watt version Pas 1 is not that overpowered, you feel like you...

LOL i'm a bit scared of putting mine on some scales :) I might put my back out. But it has lost weight recently with new wheels etc. I also have a effective but cheap and heavy dropper post installed at the moment which may be upgraded at some point.

Yeah my example is a more worst case scenario, high speed wind resistance, bad country roads hills up and down etc. And the Archon feels more powerful in this situation. But it is a example of when both controllers are set to max. Day to day I'm getting alot more than 25% extra miles to a charge...

Luna were really hyped about the ultra when it first came out, multiple video's etc banging on about it being the next big thing then half a year later it seemed like they had given up on it. I guess there modifications were not that successful with the Ultra. Maybe they had more success with...

As interesting and impressive the extra range is, and I agree it is, maybe 50% is a bit optimistic :) but I am not sure how to do a proper apples to apples test because the lower pas levels feel more powerful and usable than the standard controllers levels ever were, When I first got the new...

Depends on the bafang motor model, As Thomas mentioned the BBSxx motors have what he says, and this is what you need if you want to use any frame. But the ultra and a few others have internal motor sensors torque, cadence etc, and only have 1 external measurement which is the speed sensor which...

Exactly, carbon depending on the way it has been weaved and moulded can actually provide flex, the only carbon bike I had was totally rigid side to side, but it was designed to give a little up and down. And it was one of the most comfortable hardtail's I have ridden. Like those blades they use...
