That Scout seems like a fun all round rider. Seems like a bike that fits all rides but won't crush any specific trail type. I like that you put a coil shock on it, don't see that much for all mountain styles. Unique for sure!

I've never trail ridden an E Bike but I believe you about the workout. Dirt bikes will thrash your body far more than a bicycle could ever hope to. That said I still prefer pedals, and a proper dirt bike with a combustion engine!

I'd love to try an e-bike. Not a road one, but definately an MTB. The extra oomph will make riding fast up hill a riot.

I agree with your decisions, except scout, I'd replace with orange. Last year I took the plunge, I still have concerns with fragility with CF on mountain bikes and I'm not a sponsored rider these days or get anything for free so wanted metal. The Orange I love it's never in any of the comparisons because they don't change they just gently evolve, but 9months in and having used all over UK and Canada I just think it's one of the best. Pedals I'm surprised you chose for a top 5 but as you said it's the one item that gets moved to all your bikes so in a way I can see why. If I had been in your 'shoes' I wouldn't have mention pedals, my choice would have been a large item such as group sets or maybe suspension manufacturer's. The reason is down to not only the sum of the parts but the large considerations not only because of use but also setup and maintenance, my choice with my new bike was partly based on I know how to strip, clean, repair and replace my chosen groupset and have the associated specialist tools to do that. A new groupset would mean learning how they do something and buying more specialist items. Other than that I love my dirtlej, ebike and road bike 👍

like his opinion on E bikes and a personal lift, lots of places to legally make fun rowdy lines down but very few with van or lift access to get up. Might be cool for people like me that are an hour or two away from any real elevation, we could make enduro/downhill type trails on flat ground if we had some e bike boost :) Not ready to take the plunge, just so many regular bikes I think I wasn't first $$

« Cheating » is when you use the e bike to get KOM’s. Anyone can have a hard workout either way. What are the best arguments for trail bike vs XCM? ...thanks for the Lauff bike review.

As a new owner of a new Giant Quick E for commuting, I can't imagine riding trails with a mountain ebike. It is so much heavier, and you cant unweight or shift that mass nearly as well. And you're away from cars and other vehicles that would otherwise force you or at least pressure you to go faster and ride further into the red. Plus, the delay of the motor when beginning to pedal, shifting, stopping pedaling, etc. affects you a lot more on a trail than a smooth road where you can see what is coming up. Idk, i love evokes for the road and as a form of transportation or leisure, but mountain e bikes just don't seem right. And ya know, helllla expensive compared to a road ebike or a normal mountain bike, and they sure as hell tear up trails much faster. You better volunteer twice as much as someone who rides similar time/distances on a normal mountain bike.

Too many bikes and not enough reasonably priced parts/equipment. Who would have thought bikes that cost thousands of dollars (or pounds) would be good? Hidden gems would have been a better video.

A fair comment, though there are some good value gravel bikes out there and I reckon a 2016 Scout might not be too pricey these days - I'll see if the team are up for a hidden gems series too!

I don't possess a ebike but definitely agree with you there not cheating. Reference onesies what a great idea I've got a endura mt500 but why the he'll do they put a hood on it?

Good job Tom. Totally agree with your opinion on the transition scout. I don’t have one but something similar. Have only had short rides on the current long and slack crop but have found them all feel like clown bikes

You literally said 'Moto up'... E-bikes are Dirt Bikes, end of discussion. They belong on dirt bike tracks.Glad to see 'no e-bike' signs popping up at my local trails.

Gah, the terminology! I shift my bike with my fingers, so that makes it digital not analog. And e-bikes are not used for e-sports. What a mess.

“Analog bike”? Sorry but BR is going downhill. (Excuse the pun).
