Aventon has just added a new e-bike to their lineup. It’s called the Ramblas and it is an electric mountain bike. We’ve loved the off-road abilities of Aventon’s fat-tire e-bikes, like the Aventure 2, but the Ramblas marks a new chapter in Aventon’s growth as an e-bike brand. In our Aventon Ramblas review we will demonstrate just how capable this e-bike is.
Let’s begin with the basics. The Ramblas is a hard-tail eMTB built around a 6061 heat-treated aluminum frame and 130mm-travel RockShox 35 Silver suspension fork. It’s made in four sizes (S-XL). Providing the muscle for the Ramblas is a new motor from Aventon, the A100.
Not everything that gets called an eMTB really is, but Aventon has done an impressive job. The Ramblas features a 12-speed drivetrain, 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes and a dropper post. They also got the geometry right; the Ramblas handles like what I would expect an eMTB to perform. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Comprehensive, in depth, thorough review of an amazing new product. Really enjoyed the "trail time" at the end of the review!! Well Done!
Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful!
Very nice review! I have been watching and waiting for an e-bike that will meet my needs for some time - I'm a recent retiree and value is a big deal for me. I'm torn between a gravel bike with drop bars and a n EMTB. My main goals are a quality bike that will handle a daily commute that includes about 20 miles of range and an altitude change of 2,000 feet over rutted gravel roads in western Colorado. Range is important, but the ability to handle that 9 to 13% climb is paramount. I'm not much into true mountain biking, but the ability to tackle single track is great as it gives me confidence that the bike will be more than capable enough on county roads whose surface quality varies depending on the level of maintenance they have received according to the time of year. I look forward to the more complete testing that includes range for the Ramblas.
I've been really interested to see the test on the Ride1Up CF1 racer, which is a lightweight road and gravel bike. It appears to check a lot of boxes given that I am more inclined to favor drop bar bikes. I've been disappointed in Ride1Up having announce that model over 6 weeks ago with no independent reviews yet available. The fact that Aventon has placed bikes for review into the hands of independent reviewers simultaneously with their advertising and marketing efforts says a lot to me about the brands' support for this entry into the market. It just feels that Aventon is serious about getting the introduction of a new model right and building the excitement needed for instilling consumer confidence from day 1.
I'm working on a Ride1up CF1 Racer review now, actually. As long as you could charge the bike once you get to the office, then you should be fine on the CF1 range-wise. You could probably make it there and back on eco mode, but if you want to really charge the hills in turbo you will run out before your 40 miles is done. The CF1 is quite impressive though given the carbon fiber frame and price tag. Also, I'll say that the rear hub motor is way more natural feeling than what I was expecting.
For me, I prefer mountain biking and the extra cushioning provided by the suspension when riding on rutted gravel roads. And the range on the Ramblas is very good. That 708 WH battery is big, and you would probably be able to make it to your office and back 2 times before charging (of course, depending on your weight, what assist mode you use, etc.).
Awesome trail! Great content as usual from you guys
Glad you enjoyed it, more to come soon!
Where is Court? This looks to be a really nice bike for the price. Great review!
I have the soltera.2 from Aventon. This will be my next bike.
did you buy it and how is the soltera. i imagine this rides much different
I really enjoyed the music and non verbal parts of the vid. Don't get ne wrong great review, but it was nice for a change.
My bike shows up tomorrow!
Looks nice. I wonder if it isn't worth it to spend $1300 more and get a Luna X2 for a crazy good motor, high-end full suspension, and a carbon frame.
Great review, I have rented a Trek Rail and was contemplating pulling the trigger on a purchase, but the price was hard to swallow on the Rail for one bike. If I can buy two Ramblas for the price of a Rail, this might be an affordable family sport after all. I don’t really need full suspension. If two can ride together more riding happens.
Very interesting , especially the 100 nm part 😊
Yeah, I think that's a good move by Aventon. Gives them something to compete on and win out of the gate vs some of the other entry-level eMTB's that have lower torque.
@@ElectricBikeReviewand don't forget them 4 piston brakes! Great value. Mine shows up tomorrow! So excited.
Just curious on your thoughts comparing these to Polygon Siskiu T6E/T7E. They’re full suspension MTB-E. Tia
54lbs is amazong weight for a bile that has 100nm of torque and 80mile range. I would really like to see if it's possible to buy it unlocked for off road use only! I will only buy an e bike if you can unlock it. I am really liking this bike. Also if it came in full a suspension model! that is a decent price and a really nice looking bike!
It only has 80 mi of range in Eco mode though. In turbo mode it drops to 30.
I hope they will come out with a mid drive Level style commuter ebike...
I have two Pace 500.3 bikes from Aventon - got them mainly for my wife and daughters but 2 bikes isn't enough, so I got the Ramblas on order from a local bike shop matching Aventon's online pricing - which basically saves me the cost of setup. I also like supporting local shops when possible. My biggest concern is finding local places to ride. My current city of Colorado Springs - which has some of the best bike trails for a city currently bans e-bikes on soft and multi-use trails - which means all single-tracks in city parks and open spaces. Class 1 ebikes are allowed on paved trails. Thankfully e-bikes are a bit more welcomed on federal and state land.
no one will know its an ebike just go on the trails
The angles on the frame are sick and perfect for a MTB really and should handle jumps with ease. If only I were 10/15 years younger man I’d totally get this bike, but at 46 I’ll stick with my level.2 or upgrade to a Aventure.2 instead.
you made a good choice, I bought a bike very similar to the level 2 and both go faster than the ramblas just hardtail instead
Great review!. What is your recommendation on the Ramblas vs the Prodigy v2 as an e-mtb? They both look similar, and I think the prodigy v2 has a slight advantage but I am not sure if it will be suitable for light mtbiking. Thanks!
For mountain biking, I'd recommend the Ramblas. I love the Prodigy V2, but it's more commuter oriented with the geometry and overall setup, while the Ramblas is a dedicated hard tail eMTB.
Heard the motor whine. Am ok with it. What about the motor gear rattle when coasting? How much Psi in tires?
.That motor does indeed whine!
So agree with you that, on a mountain bike, that it should find with tubeless ready rims. I wonder much that adds to a price?
I wonder if a person should perhaps wait for Ramblas version 2.0?
Thanks for this thorough review! I plan to buy a hardtail type bike - for more of a dual sport type purposes, so I can have a one-quiver ebike - and this is definitely on my short list. Does anyone have any perspectives on this compared to, say, the Specialized Turbo Tero 3.0? Or similar Trek offerings?
Thanks!
We will be doing a comparison video soon, fyi. However, the short answer that I would give is that you get the most powerful motor with the Ramblas at a really great entry-level price. You get a more established brand with the Specialized Turbo Tero 3.0 or the Trek Marlin+, so some of the things like tubeless ready rims you'll get with them.
Overall though, I can't speak highly enough of how fun the Ramblas is to ride. Aventon did a better job than expected. They also did have some riders podium at the eMTB race at Sea Otter this year, which goes to show the power you get with the motor.
Thanks for the review! I tested out the Trek Marlin+ 6 with the Bosch Active Line Plus motor the other day and loved it. I then saw an ad for the Aventon Ramblas the next day! They have the exact same MSRP of about 2700 USD. The Ramblas has double the torque (50nm vs 100nm), and much longer distance capability. I would love to see a head to head comparison between the two since they are very similar and the price point is the same. The weight is only a few pounds more for the Ramblas, and for so much more distance and torque. it makes me think its a no brainer, but I am brand new to ebikes. For me personally, I am not doing anything crazy on a mountain trail. I'd like to take it there and ride without fear of ruining everything. I won't go fast and a dropper post isn't necessary for me. I will probably do 50% riding on pavement, 40% riding on dirt/natural trails fairly flat, and 10% on technical trails. This will be my first ebike. I am a big guy at over 6 feet tall and over 275 pounds. What are your initial thoughts?
Have you had a response to this question yet from any of the reviewers? I'm considering this bike too. 52 with not so great knees....
Stay tuned, we have a Marlin+ coming to review (hoping in the next few weeks). I did ride a Marlin+ 6 at CES, and can say liked the bike. However, I think Aventon bringing a 100nm motor is HUGE for an eMTB in this price point. While I haven't hill tested the Marlin yet, I can say pretty confidently that the Ramblas is going to be stronger up hills.
Also, I personally liked the feel of the Ramblas more than I thought I would given this is Aventon's first eMTB. It's a solid frame and battery you can build on.
@@ElectricBikeReviewThank you so much for the reply! I was able to test drive the Aventon Ramblas today! It is unbelievably nice. The torque the 100nm truly outshines the Marlin+ 6 50nm. I am a big dude so that was a concern for me. I was on a large because that's all they had, and I am definitely needing an XL. So given that, the seating position seemed a little uncomfortable to me compared to the Marlin+ 6. Remember, I am a complete beginner so take it with a grain of salt. The Ramblas also does not have a lockout fork, which for a big guy that plans to use it on pavement about equally to the mountain, was a ding on it. But truly an impressive bike. I think I will place my order for the XL tomorrow at a LBS. I look forward to seeing your review on them both!
I'm not going to repeat what ERB has said because that is pretty solid advice. My guess is the Ramblas is likely a better fit because of the torque and distance advantage. There are some issues with the Ramblas - like no tubless tires. I'm not sure you could replace the tires with tubeless, so something to investigate. The front fork is not air suspension (coil) - but all the reviews seem to be ok with this. For me, I can't really justify paying more for a first e-MTN bike. It's not my first e-bike (I have two Pace 500.3 step-throughs - which I got mainly for my daughters and I enjoy riding on paved trails. I think this will be my first mountain bike period. My main issue is just finding a place where I'm legally allowed to ride it (my local city is confused by e-bikes on soft trails so they are currently banned).
I've been very close to buying the Polygon Siskiu T6 or T7E and wonder how this stacks up? I realize those have better components, but its hard to get clear info on the Polygon torque/range. Is the Aventon competitive at all?
I've been looking at those 2 polygons as well. Don't know
can you wrap the rims and make the tires tubeless
19:05 Reminds me of my grandmas electric can opener she used to have on her counter.. The ECO in in ebick is for Electric Can Opener!!
Ha - well said! I will say - that section is more steep than the GoPro shows, and I kept the cadence fairly high there, which is why you could hear the 'electric can opener' so well.
@@ElectricBikeReview I have 1K mid drive. I am very familiar with that noise :)
Looks promising but, we will have to wait and see, Lextric also thought they could produce a mountain bike, and we all saw what happened.
Nice bike and great review! The front shock ideally should be an air fork, not coil spring. I am hesitant about the inhouse motor vs a bafang or more established company.
I personally agree on the air fork. Unfortunately, I don't know if there is a way for Aventon to get a quality air fork and keep the bike at or under $2700. However, you can always upgrade the fork yourself if you want. Given the bikes core is solid (motor, geometry) I think it's worth the buy and then upgrade parts as you go.
For the motor, I was super skeptical as well. However, given Aventon's manufacturing experience and capabilities, and how much effort and focus Aventon is putting into this motor, I'm actually excited for it. I have a feeling it's going to open up a lot of things for Aventon's models down the road.
I never had a e-bike I got my eyes on this one i’m looking to commute to work 6 mile round trip is she worth the money?
I have the adventure 2 and it’s commutes very nice although I don’t have this bike I would be very skeptical to commute on it
welcome Justin.. i have a recumbent AZUB trike with a BBSHD and 2 25ah @ 52v batteries.. I get about 80 miles per Samsung E-50 battery total 150-160 miles per charge.. I use a Rohloff and have Hydraulic breaks on all three wheels.. as someone who has progressive blindness, the biggest problem with Ebiikes are seeing the display in full sun.. (hense the reason they always film Display REVIEWS indoors.). LOL. you can't see them if the sun is out. I wish that Bafang would come out with an actual sunlight readable TFT display.. Currently they only make standard TFTs can't be read unless it is really overcast or in the shade or inside. but that isn't where we ride our ebikes..? I know the tech exist.. example is the Garmin Edge line.. that becomes more redable in dirtct sunlight. (the map appears to float over the display and have very high contrast. Not sure why the ebike industry doesn't use that level of display/monitor tech.? What do you know about finding a display for Bafang that can be read during the. daylight hours.. :)?
What is the difference in the mid motor versus the rear ?
Natural riding feel is the biggest. A rear hub feels like it's pushing you along while a mid drive feels more like it's just amplifying the amount of watts your putting into the pedals. For an eMTB you really need a mid-drive motor.
I got aventon level 2 a few months back
how do you like it so far? I almost bought one but local shop didnt have my size or color so I got an Envo instead. similar specs
@@mikec4308 I love it it's a great bike
8:59...So they only did a "good job" on the in-house A-100 motor? That is so disappointing to hear. The A-100 motor was my main concern about this bike.
I used to have a really similar trail bike with a 35 silver (non-e), and I'm a bit concerned with how such a heavy bike would ride as a hardtail. I expect big bumps and holes to really feel terrible with the extra weight. Oh also it's kinda crazy it isn't tubeless compatible, that's a huge miss.
I think that not going with tubeless had everything to do with keeping the price point under 3K. It's an easy enough upgrade.
@@edwardcating but it seems the actual wheels are not tubeless ready, so it's not simple at all
@@nicholkid I've successfully applied rim tape and tubeless valves and tires to a non-tubeless-ready setup with success.
We've been looking at options for setting this up tubeless, fyi. Stay tuned for a video on how to do it to keep it simple for everyone.
Starting at around $3400 you can get an entry level full suspension emtb from a local shop instead of this direct to consumer model. Lots of bikes on sale right now. Shop around and don't be afraid to walk into a store.
I can also buy Aventon from a local shop 10 miles from my doorstep as well as several other shops here in Colorado.
That is one of the great things with Aventon. They are sold in over 1200 bike shops across the US.
@@RunBikeMike Aventon claims over 1,800 now.
@@minervawesttheatre nice they are growing really well.
@@RunBikeMike 1800
Will the motor be reliable. Who is glo blough?
Time will tell on the motor, although so far, I can say that the motor has been great. Aventon is standing behind the motor, so I think if you reframe the question to: will Aventon support people who have issues with the motor, then I'd say the answer is 'yes'.
Your app showed that you. Hit 30 mph, but I have read reviews that this bike tops out at 20 and you cannot program that bike to exceed that? Which is correct?
He was probably going down hill
You won't get assistance over 20 mph, as this is a class 1. I was going faster than that only on the downhill, or when I was on flat ground and really pushing it.
Where is Court? Did he and Sam Atakhanov from DOST bikes skip town? Court seemed to have high praise for Sam Atakhanov and now we know that he scammed hundreds, maybe thousands of people of their money. He took full price for these bikes ($3500 - $7000) and then never shipped them. The company is now in receivership. The website is still up so beware! DO NOT make a purchase.
This or the Trek Marlin 6+ that has the Bosch known history for the same price.
Where's Court?
I have one ordered. There must be a way to hack the speed limit and add a throttle 😅
Great reviewer. Let see more of him. Less of court.
Hard review to follow..
Nice, but Specialized Turbo Vado far superior. ✅
Video too long. Lose sunglasses 🕶️
What's the price difference between the two
The Turbo Vado is an awesome bike! However, it's Specialized commuter bike, not eMTB. I think maybe you meant to say Turbo Levo?
And noted on the sunglasses. I had just been riding the bike and completely forgot about them! Although I will say, I personally think those glasses look better than my eyes.
@@ElectricBikeReview
The Turbo Vado is incredible. Wins all the best ebike awards. The best overall ebike money can buy. It’s like a Porsche or Toyota. #1.
What’s your thoughts on IGH variants?
You speak on camera. Take off those horrible glasses so we can see your eyes! THANKS.
Agree Probably thinks he looks "cool" with then on !
@@holsteincowboy Ha! I actually was just riding the bike and forgot to take them off...although I think most people would agree that the glasses look better than my eyes do!
No wonder this channel died. This review is terrible
Not very fair. I thought he provided some decent info and views of the product.
