Is it for you?
Best suited to
Trail riders who want a full suspension eMTB with a 95Nm Bafang M500 bought direct for under $4,500.
Standout strength
Full suspension with 150mm rear travel, a 95Nm Bafang M500 and SRAM GX gearing for $4,299.
The main compromise
Only 100mm of fork travel against 150mm at the rear, a modest battery for an eMTB, and it is out of stock.
Consider something else if
You need it now (it is on back order), want a local dealer for suspension servicing, or want published EN 15194 paperwork.
Check before you buy
Ask FiSHAW for a firm restock date and the EN 15194 declaration, and plan for the 160km first service the warranty requires.
