The important detail is who won the fight to test the mattress and duvet? Takes sleeping on the job to a whole new level

I do like the look of that Megamo bike 😳 Shame about the brand name!

If Maxxis read this, please can we have a Crossmark 2 and/or a Minion SS in 2.5" EXO versions? Thanks.

I like it too, the angles and the way it lookjs lioned up pleases me on a deep level. Butt... It's an e-bike and that's not something I am looking for right now.

The megamo looks like it has a Really short dropper post insertion. What length dropped does it fit?

The conti tires must have the rolling resistance of a tractor tire. If it was conditions to use that I'd be staying inside. I wouldn't fancy pedaling them about 😱.

Maybe it's because I don't race. Maybe it's because i don't have an e bike.

They would like good on the front of a Motocross bike at propper muddy Motocross track.

I think that's why they haven't bothered to make the hydrotal in anything other than the DH casing!

 

The Megamo looks good, would like to see a review of the base model AL version at some point, full spec motor and battery for a quid under five grand

I'd absolutely love a rainy day on the Pleney steeps with a pair of those Hydrotals.

Probably wouldn't bother with them anywhere else.

I used to really like the Crossmark II as a rear tyre on my first 29er (Whyte T-129) back in t'day - the thing is the new(ish) Forekaster V2 rolls so well, I don't know if it would really be worth swapping one on for the "summer" on my current XC steed?

In DH casing!

I'm not sure I've even got the legs for that on the plenty steeps with a ski lift.

We spend a third of our lives in bed. Anything that helps that third be better is a good thing - review away.

That Megamo is one good looking bike. £7k is a stack of cash, but it looks thoughtfully specc'ed. The kind of components most of us actually suit, rather than aspire to (36s over 38s, FloatX over X2, Performance Elite over Factory, etc).

DJI Avinox M1 Motor 105Nm (120Nm in Boost burst) 1000W. 800Wh battery.

So they're not even pretending it's a 250W ebike compliant motor now?

@tthew the 250w thing is not about peak power. Never has been. Most eebs give out over 600w peak power. The 250w rating is a bizarro overheating test thing.

That Megamo looks nice in that blue, my mate is waiting to check them out at Team Cycles. Looking forward to his thoughts he's become quite the eeb aficionado. Agreed on the name though, seems a bit naff.
