We had a great day, VERY lucky with the conditions too 🙌

@@LukeMegBiking we went on Saturday and it was pretty good conditions then as well

@@Milo-_-fortnite No way, that's when we were there! 🤪

@@LukeMegBiking sick!!

For sure dude, the line further down gets better with some nice doubles and a BIG double to finish. We will be posting this soon 🙌🍻

🙏 😀✌️

Thank you 🙏

Definitely, there are tracks that are fully rollable. The jumps that we played on with our “whip” practise are located next to several other fun rollable trails also. There were people starting out in their MTB journey there having a great time on the tracks

They are crazy bright aren’t they

Thanks so much

Meg has the Dissent and she loves it. It offers superior protection when compared to the Gambit as it’s a full downhill helmet. Meg never rides without it and I have to agree, it’s a great helmet. The gambit it light weight and good for a light weight helmet, but for a higher quality helmet with more protection, I’d go for the Dissent.

@@LukeMegBiking Oh thank you so much, i will go for the dissident😂

You will love it, and at that price you have a top spec high quality helmet that offers amazing protection 🙌. Enjoy dude 🍻

How's the dissident for enduro though?

Cheers buddy 🙌🍻🥳

It’s awesome Emma! You would love it, definitely worth the trip 🙌🏻 Meg

Thanks so much!! That is my complaint of the year 🙌🏻 I am always striving to ride like a bloke so I am stoked 😅 -Meg

It’s called Bunton Hush in Swale Dale. It’s a great trail hey 🙌

@@LukeMegBiking looks amazing! Youre flying! Are you riding through whats called the gunnerside beck?

Ittreally special to ride there. Thanks dude, appreciate that. It’s at a place called gunnerside gill, it’s very difficult to find, I had to get shown by a buddy of mine who was local, and I don’t have any strava data to share unfortunately

Thanks 🙌

Thanks a lot 🙌🔥

Whoop Whoop

That looked amazing

Thanks dude, we are stoked you liked it

Thanks dude

Thank dude, that’s awesome. It’s moments like this which I truly live for 🙌🍻

That’s awesome dude. Sweeet, we are stoked you enjoyed it. WHAT a place Skiddaw is hey, so stunning and one hell of a ride 🙌

100000% dude. True escapism hey 🍻🙌

@@LukeMegBiking maybe my on was read wrong 😂 change for it looks.

@@Ruffest You sure you're not trolling 🤣 Could swear your comment read differently 🤪 It's pretty bonkers that drop hey

@@LukeMegBiking 🤣 thought you read it wrong. Yeah takes some bottle first time like. Well done. Camera never gets the steepness of the lander.

Meg is a savage… a buddy was meant to tow her in but she was fed up of waiting and just went for it… it was my first time there, Meg had been just one time before that day. I was taken back by how big the drop is, it’s definitely got that WOW factor (I need to do it now 😬😂)

:-)

🙌😃🙏🙌

Hell Yeah 🙌

I guess it's easier to answer what is classed as a light weight eBike. Bikes weighing in at around 18-20kg with smaller/less powerful motors with 35Nm (Kenevo SL of torque) to 85Nm Orbea Rise approximately.

Full powered 'legal' e-bikes anyway. To me, something like a Boxxbike Valkyrie is more of a 'full powered' e-bike.

Oh nice!!! That’s a damn good effort 💪🍻

I’m so glad you added this comment. It’s great you have found that perfect fit, I know the feeling 😉 We’ve been blown away with the range when using the extender. For sure the climb is slower, but like you say, keeping at that just right amount of pace gets you there, with the MASSIVE reward of then riding downhill on a playful, agile, and fantastic handling bike, getting that full experience of riding an MTB as opposed to an eBike, which in reality are two very different things (both are fun of course).

I own the same bike and with the range extender I feel like I can go as long as a full power big battery eMTB. For example with the Kenevo SL internal battery only I usually can ride 12-15 miles and climb around 2000-2500feet of elevation. When I ride with my buddies on full power eMTBs then I plug in the range extender and I can easily go 17-20 miles and climb around 3500-4000 feet.

@@emtbhookes The range extenders seem like a great addition for the bigger rides. I would usually get that sort of distance/elev if I run the FF in turbo everywhere. If I dropped down to eco then 8000ft and 50 miles is doable, but it's not the reason I bought an ebike. In an ideal world I'd want the weight of the SL and power/range of the FF. Hopefully the technology can get us there in a few years...

They are all very fair points for sure dude, it’s really about what is important to each individual rider right!? For smashing out turbo laps, the Full Fat just cannot be beaten, it’s the dream if you want to get as many laps as possible in a short space of time. As you saw in the video, the climbing speed is incredible, even when compared to a light weight eBike. Sessioning with mates etc wouldn’t be as fun on the FF with steeper push up only sections, even if you ride the loop all the way back to the top, I feel sessioning is all about the hang with your mates, playing on that certain part of the track, (push/ride up that little section) and repping it out, but that’s only a small thing to consider on the grand scheme of things to be fair. FOR SURE FF bikes are great fun on the climbs, including technical climbs, it’s mega fun trying to get through a section and the FF can certainly help you get through it with ease. Relating to steep tech climbs in the slop, having ridden 4 different FF and 2 light weights on the specific climbs, I found sometimes less is more, and simply physics wins. Reminds me of a video on Insta I saw the other day, where a land-rover discovery just couldn’t get up this snow covered hill, yet a fiat panda just drives on up past the more powerful land-rover (maybe not the best analogy, but you get my point). Again, this is a very specific example, but it’s a valid one to make, especially after highlighting the incredible uphill power/speed of the FF. Yeah it’s undeniable that the light weight eMTB is much better on the downs, especially the Kenevo with that aggressive geo, it very much feels as a heavy bike as you get so much feel and manoeuvrability from it as opposed to that more numb riding experience from a FF, but as you say, the FF on open fast sections will pile down super fast with lots of stability, but I guess it depends what riding experience you want right, added with the pro’s/con’s of the ascending speed, and that’s what makes it so awesome, there is an option for everyone, even the eBike haters 🙌 Looking forward to our next ride dude 🔥

@@LukeMegBiking Absolutely it's all about having fun and what works for you, every bike is a comprimise in one way or another! For uphill traction in greasy conditions you can use the rear brake to give you extra traction where you could spin out, it's not something I've found limiting on the FF once I'd changed technique a bit. Similarly sometimes I think FF is better on the downs in certain conditions (but not all), what you might call numb could be called stable and controlled, allowing extra speed, just like riding an enduro bike compared to a hardtail down something technical. Neither is the wrong bike to ride but people like different feedback from the trail to get the most fun out of it! See you on the trails soon!

Both styles of bikes (FF and SL) are great. I own both a specialized kenevo SL and a YT Decoy. I ride now 80-90% of the time the SL and 10-20% the FF. I just reach for the SL more often simply because it rides so much better on a downhill. Don’t get me wrong the FF are great but I don’t enjoy it as much any more. I can ride the exact same distance on both. The only difference is that on the SL I climb 20-30 seconds slower per downhill run. It’s pretty cool that we get both styles to choose from.
