Or, if you care about brand names, and want to impress people, spend three times as much on a Santa Cruz.Įdit: Full disclosure, my other bike is a Santa Cruz. I'd be willing to bet that you'll be really happy with it. So if you're the kind of guy who doesn't give a shit what people think, and you're really just out to ride and have a good time, then buy a Motobecane.

(Stem, bars, tires, 1x10 etc) And secondly, I wouldn't have invested that money if I didn't enjoy the bike and think that it was worth keeping and putting the money into. 5 full-suspension mountain bike An implantable restriction device is configured to provide a restriction in a patient as a function of the pressure of fluid Book review: Box Hill by Adam Mars-Jones, reviewed by Hal Jensen - the TLS. I have invested a fair amount of money in parts, but first of all, I would have done that even if I bought the Specialized. I have absolutely no doubts about the quality and strength of the frame. But I got my bike for 600 dollars cheaper, which paid for the Bluto fork that I put on it. My bike has similar geometry to the Specialized Fatboy, which I was also considering. Sometimes their bikes have older geometry and tech, like the bike you linked, and sometimes cheaper parts, like those hubs, but the brand as a whole is not bad at all.
#MOTOBECANE BIKE REVIEWS MOUNTAIN CRACKED#
I know someone who cracked the frame on his rigid gravity fatbike doing 5ft drops a couple years after he bought it and they replaced the frame no problem. And no, before others come out and shit on their warrantee department, they are not going to stiff you if your frame breaks. You are still getting a ridiculously good deal because you are not paying for the brand advertising or bikewhen overhead. It's true that they will cheap out in some places that are less visible, like hubs, but again you have to know what you are looking at. I have two bikes from bikesdirect and I know others who also have Gravity/Motobecane bikes, and I have not seen any cases where they actually lied about a component. It would probably cost them more money to use a different process for their Moto bikes instead of making them the same way as they do for the name brands due to economy of scale. The factory that makes Motobecane, Kinesis Industries in Taiwan, also makes frames for Diamondback, Trek, Jamis etc. Specialized used to hold a patent on this linkage design up until last year when it expired, that's when Motobecane came out with the HAL5/6 bikes. The Horst link is still technically an 'old' design but it is used on a lot of modern bikes cause it still performs really well. It also has pretty modern geometry if you compare it to a name brand bikes (head angle, chainstay length, etc). If you want something more modern, look at the HAL5/6 range of bikes which is a knock off of the Horst linkage. It's true that the bike you linked is an 'old' frame design that uses the high single pivot layout and it's not going to pedal well. Motobecane has commented that the HAL eBoost Pro’s incredible price will be adjusted upwards, as global sales volumes increase.You have to know what you are looking at with bikesdirect bikes. The launch price of $3499 is an astoundingly low, considering this bike’s available components, which don’t include even a trace of entry-level specification. Motobecane is quoting 21.7kg as a mass number for its HAL eBoost Pro, when weighed without pedals, which is competitive when measured against similarly configured e-MTBs.
