The Kenevo was also considerably cheaper...
LOL you’ve picked one of the most expensive frames on the market.
There's stuff out there that costs a lot more than a Geometron.
A quick look on CRC shows the Cube Stereo RRP being £1900 for the non-assisted and £3699 for the Eeb.
The Cube reaction HT for example is showing as £1799 for the Eeeeeeb and £1200 for the base model....
So maybe not always double.... But i rekon at the higher/decent end of Full Suss it's certainly right up there?

Just pointing out it doesn't have to be.🙂
Fair point .... I'll be half right, half wrong 🙂
I'm still not buying into them as being anywhere near the same price in general. But i'm more staying away from personal preference than the actual cost.
@Weeksy you can be fully wrong too if you'd like. 😉
When I bought my Vitus it's RRP was around £200 more than that of an almost identically spec'd Alu Nukeproof Mega (Pro I think) . The Mega was 165/170mm mine 160/170mm travel. Incredibly similar geometry, very similar suspension design and kinematics. Both frames produced in the same factory and assembled by the same people. Both had Lyrik forks, S.Deluxe RT3, Guide RE on mine RS on mega,11 speed XT on mine GX on the mega, boost DT Swiss wheels on mine Boost mavics on the mega and the same Maxxis tyres on both. Nukeproof finishing kit and same spec dropper on both. I actually got it for £300 less than RRP of the mega.
to put Ebike prices into perspective slightly the RRP on a shimano E8000 motor is £950, Battery £699, charger £170, display £150 and shifter £120 so in reality you shouldn't really be too surprised for most Ebikes to cost around a grand and a half more than the non ebike version from the same manufacturer.

Is that the Gear Shifter that is £120 ? Why are they so much more on an Ebike ?
No. it's the Electric mode select controller/shifter for the motor. Basically a rebadged XT Di2 shifter (which retails for £99).
