Does it have the steel gear too ? I saw from Paxtana on a diff forum that the Ludi version has one but no official confirmation.

Can't wait to take in into the mountains now the weather in the UK is finally getting better. Unfortunately I have now lost my charger while doing some work on the house. I feel really stupid but I really cant find it. Where can I get a new one?
Cheers,

Does anybody used the bike already for offroad + downhill on single-trails?
I want to you know how the frame is performing, how stiff it is?
If somebody can say something about the downhill 'performance' or the big differences to the premium bikes it would be great.

I had the same idea, using this bike on the local (downhill) trails with bumpy and rocky terrain. But I am new to MTB'ing in these types of environments and would like to know your views on what is necessary.
Kind regards from Switzerland!

Hi Hardcore,
My normal bike is a Enduro MTb (Canyon Spectral). Compared to my old MTB KTM full suspension there are wolrds between on how it performs downhill. Meaning specially the agility in turns and a lot more of subjective impressions.
I rod last year a Scott Genius E-MTB and it was great also in downhill. I compared roughly the Geometry of the Frey to other brands. What I found out that the chain stay CS is relatively long. Short CS is good for agility. Maybe the size is bigger because of the bigger bafang motor? In many e mtbs the motor is not horizontal attached it is inclined to allow for “shorter” frame. Also the wheel base is long… ok head tube angle is almost same 66,5°. Maybe this is all belonging to the difference in experience of the brands.
But this are all theoretical figures on the paper. I personally belief that this geometry sience is more marketing from the brands to make each year money with new designs. But somehow it will influence how it drives. My concern is more on the long time durability of the frame.
So I’m really looking forward to get some information how it drives.
PS. https://www.giant-bicycles.com/at/full-eplus-2 compare the design of the rear body it is looking very similar to the frey ,

Drop Dead Fred said:So the chainstay is 15mm longer than the Turbo Levo FSR Comp, that's just a hair over a 1/2". Now on my Ellsworth Epiphany Convert 27.5+ tires it's 466mm that is 8mm difference, plus this is not an ebike but to get the plus size tire clearance you need a longer chainstay. My older Epiphany 27.5 without plus tires as 439mm and also only 120mm of travel. So if you compare apples to apples I think the chainstay is right there especially for the price.
Can only hope it lives up the the fun factor hype!
