I had the 2020 Range VLT and loved it. Looking at getting another one. I live and ride in Pemberton and just like in Chilliwack I need big travel because it's all grind and plummet here!
I hear ya. I haven't ridden Pemby in a few years but it has very similar terrain to Chilliwack. - Steep ups and steep downs! I had one of those Ranges as well- the 27.5 wheels and coil shock were just so awesome on that bike - it's really the bike that hooked me on the bigger is better vibe! I love the "grind & plummet" description....that sums it up perfect!
@@freshpukesh I've got my name on a new Sight VLT CX at Bike Co. in Pemby with the new Bosch Gen 5 motor when it comes out in the spring but I wish they had also updated the Range VLT with the new Bosch Gen 5. I kinda don't want a 160/150 bike again (coming off 3 years on a Trek Rail). I want to go back to big travel. When I shifted over to e-bikes in 2018 (after 30 years on acoustic MTBs) I had a Kenevo (180/170) which I loved but the Brose motor sucked so bad. I went through 3 motors in 2 years!! 😖 Have you been hearing any rattling on the descents in the motor on your Range?... I hate that Bosch rattle from my 2021 Trek Rail but maybe it's not an issue on the new Range?...

Love that bike. Seriously thinking about picking one up!
You won't regret it...and now they are on sale so even less reasons to say no lol...

Loving my Range VLT in the UK, what a bike 😉
Agree... It looks like a big beast but it is a very capable bike in all kinds of trails! So far no regrets making the switch!
Looks like the perfect rig for Chilliwack!
So far it's been awesome for Chilliwack! More power and more travel seem to be Chillwack essentials!
Check out Community Forest.
I have ridden there once and found it to be awesome. It is a legit alternative to Vedder and I am planning to explore more of it for sure!
