After a lot of test rides, much dithering, and some patience waiting for the 2020 Bosch motors, I am now the proud owner of this 😎

Some health issues and a need to keep HR out of VO2 max means it definitely not cheating, for me 😜

Nice, i'm waiting for a 2020 bosch as well, if i can ever afford it, hope it works out well for you, it looks good and by the sounds of the orbea, should give you everything you should need, lots of travel, lots of power and potential to get more battery power than you'll ever need for a day out!

Thanks, shop are doing a few tweaks, I popped an ISM saddle on it to check I can get away with the 150mm dropper and it fits, just.. ! It’s now going tubeless (and tyres lined up 😜), different grips and a Wolftooth LA remote for my old fingers !

Big thanks to Dave and the team at Sprockets in Kilmarnock for sorting me out with this 👍😀

That’s an ISM MTB saddle. I use ISMs on all my bikes, changed over to them before surgery for prostate cancer 5 years ago and find them so comfy I haven’t gone back !

+1 for ISM after a prostate infection.  Normal saddles are now the work of the Devil.

^^^ pretty much everything according to the reviews and the online chatter. Better feel, less noisy, emtb mode is set and forget, better battery life etc etc.
