That interesting that Liteville have released that with the ‘old’ shimano 8000 motor, when the rumour mill suggest a new motor is to released imminently
Not really new to the market been around since the start of the year or before.
I was in the same situation and went for a Base YT 29 in XL (I am 6ft).
Very well built and reliable so far despite the miles piling on - happy with the power of the Shimano motor (they're all capped to 250W anyway so the extra torque only brings limited benefits at the right cadence).
Very concerned about having to send it back to Germany of course but on the other hand, the value for money is far better than UK indirect pricing, obviously. But only if nothing major goes wrong. I understand that YT are about to open a UK service centre too.
The bike also happens to be a fantastic ride, particularly downhill.
I don't see much of a bright future for analogue mountain bikes I'm afraid.
