It is. Fazua has been out in Europe much longer as the process to be approved for sale in the US was a lengthy one. Just as well as the motor had received significant refinement over the years.

I can honestly report that it is quiet enough as to not really notice it.

I am really enjoying my ecaliber 9.6. It is light enough to be tossable and gives me plenty of range. I will take the spare battery on a long ride or trip. I am planning to do the GAP in June and will take it then. The suspension is enough to get the job done; even at only 60mm. I still own the...

The Specialized 1.1 motor, while a good performer, puts out only 35 Nm. Oh, and is it really a Specialized motor? Are you sure it isn't a modified Brose motor like their full powered motor is? Btw, the Fazua battery is $490. As far as climbing is concerned, may I remind you, again, this is an XC...

Then you are clearly missing the point of this bike. It is for XC, not full trail or downhill.

It did come with the blanking tube, but have not tried it yet. Will report back when I do.

Went out for a ride on Sunday and can report the following. The bike was very tossable and had just enough power. The suspension for flow trails and moderate rocks/roots was more than adequate. It is not meant for, and at my age will not be subjected to, rock gardens or drops. So far I am very...

Waiting for weather and a few days to ride. The bike was on the floor and ready to go. Scotts Bikes in Cleveland, TN had a medium and two large bikes in stock. (They also have Rails and Powerfly's for anyone in the southeast US).

I just purchased the 9.6 base model and will let you know what I think in a week. Frankly, I prefer the base model with a dropper post as standard. I also agree with other posts in that battery removal is easy when you are not holding a camera. On a related note, Court, when you attach the...

I just test rode a 2020 Revolt E+ Pro in Ephrata, PA. ( Shout out to Martins Bike shop - outstanding!!!!) The bike was wonderful. It handled like a road bike, despite the wide gravel tires. Very reactive, unlike a Cannondale Synapse Neo SE that I rode last year. Reasonably light weight and very...

The only issue I have with Orbea, is that the front forks on all but their $10K model are QR!!! I had a bad experience a few yeas ago with a VERY expensive bike in the infancy of disk road bikes and would never touch a QR disk again. You can't order the top bike's fork and do a swap as it is...

Fazua promises bikes arriving in first week of December. Don't know brands yet, although Trek should be one of them.

In the US, you can get a Trek Domane e+ with a Bosch motor that provides assist up to 28 mph. Fats and sleek bikes, but at 28 mph, as expected, the battery goes away fairly quickly. For 2020, the Domane will come with either a gen 4 Bosch motor, good for 28 mph, or a Fazua drive version - good...

That's terrible! I suspect a trip to the states is in order!

The 2020 Trek Domane+ bikes will come in two very different flavors. One with a Bosch motor good for 28mph and one with the Fazua motor, good for 20mph. The Fazua model looks a lot more streamlined but has less range and less top end. Things are heating up in the e-bike wars! Mid-drives...

Sorry for the huge delay. I appreciate the info you provided. See my note today to MikeDee. Hope you are still enjoying the Gain and best of luck and health!

Funny you should ask. I ended up buying a Cannondale Synapse Neo SE. Great bike with limitless range but it constantly creaks. After six attempts to get it to stop, I returned it to the dealer and they are working with Cannondale for a resolution. I think I may join you with a Gain now that the...

130 miles I'd great! What kind of terrain, mode you were in and your weight if you dont mind?

The quoted weight on the bike is 38 pounds but riding the bike youo do not feel the weight. When you turn, you have to be a little more deliberate with your lean for a while, but you quickly get used to it. It also takes a little while to get used to the wider Q factor, but that was not an issue...
