YT Industries has released the third generation of their Jeffsy do-it-all trail bike, and we managed to log some time on it prior to its release to share our initial impressions of its performance. While YT has not made any decisions that make the new Jeffsy necessarily stand out, instead it sits very nicely as a true all-rounder machine, and we can safely say that it’s a solid performer from our two days on board so far. Keep reading to learn all the details of the YT Jeffsy MK3 in the press release, following our First Ride Impressions.

Completely redesigned from the ground up, the Bosch-equipped Devinci E-Troy sees a number of changes from its predecessor. Even though the last generation E-Troy was very young, when Devinci decided to build their all mountain eBike with a Bosch Performance Line CX drive unit, they took that as reason enough to start from scratch. “We are very aware at how fast the eMTB space is evolving,” said Devinci’s marketing manager Bastien Major. “Acknowledging how fast things are evolving, we decided rather than just updating the motor mounts in the frame, we should take the opportunity to bring production back to Canada and redesign the frame to offer a ride that is more in line with the Devinci MTB DNA,” Major continued. So, what exactly was on Devinci’s to-do list when it came to redesigning the E-Troy? Let’s find out.

If there’s something we’ve learned during our time in the bike industry it’s that Shimano doesn’t move quickly and when they make a claim, it’s usually an accurate and maybe even conservative one. So when Shimano released their 10-speed and 11-speed LinkGlide drivetrain with a bold claim of it being three times (3x) more durable than their high-performing HyperGlide + components, we knew there would be some elated mile-crunchers out there. Whereas the HyperGlide + drivetrain prioritizes weight, and shift speed above all else, Shimano’s LinkGlide is designed to offer the smoothest, most durable and longest lasting drivetrain components for hard chargers, eMTB riders and those who spend time in sloppy or nasty conditions. We installed an 11-speed Shimano Deore XT LinkGlide system on our Pivot Shuttle LT eight months ago and have ridden everything from PNW slop to a multi-state road trip through the dry and dusty desert as part of our eMTB Destination Tour. Here is our feedback after months and miles of abuse and neglect.

We visited Red Bull Rampage for the dig days to get a unique insight into the process the athletes and their dig crew go through to build their lines, and to see how UTV's like the Can-Am side-by-sides aid the diggers during their time moving dirt in the desert.

#loamwolf #redbullrampage After years of watching Red Bull Rampage from afar, our new-guy behind the lens, Max Rhulen and myself (Rob) were fortunate enough to pay a visit to Virgin, UT for the first week of the revered 2023 Red Bull Rampage freeride event. Thanks to Can-Am we were able to gain special access to the event site and witness the 18 athletes and their dig crews carve in their lines for this year’s contest. Since Can-Am ambassador and ten-time Rampage competitor Tyler McCaul was sitting this year’s event out due to a recent ankle fusion, we were able to wrangle him into being our co-host and historian as we ventured into the hallowed grounds for our first time. It was an amazing experience for a first timer from the UK to get this sort of a tour and time with the riders, their dig crews and to see the absolute massiveness of this event first-hand. Check out the interviews from several legendary riders and their diggers as they prepare for the craziest mountain bike event in the world! As the 2023 venue had been previously used five times - including the most recent 2022 event - most riders did not have to start from a blank canvas, although some riders who were new to the venue opted to anyway. Due to heavy rains falling on the arid hillside over the summer, soils had shifted, and rain ruts had developed, so there was still plenty of work to do to get the lines dialed in, even for riders committed to riding the same line down the hill as the year prior. Thanks to @CANAMOFFROAD for getting us here.

#mtb #loamwolf This enduro focused e-mountain bike sticks closely to the roots of its predecessor, however it is not identical. Right out of the gate the appearance of the new Transition Repeater PT is a bit more streamlined, with straighter lines, slick paint, and tighter packaging overall. Adding to that streamlined appearance is the integration of the new SRAM Eagle Powertrain system, with their Brose-powered drive unit and integrated functionality with the Transmission gearing system. Come along as we visit the Transition HQ in Bellingham, WA and learn more about the Transition Repeater PT!

Orbea is launching not only one, but two new Occam trail bike models for 2024. Following feedback from the previous generation of their trail bike, Orbea realized that riders in the mid-travel full suspension market fall into two distinct camps based on their preference for pedaling efficiency or aggressive descending capability. They came to the conclusion that one bike couldn’t provide a solution to give the optimal performance for both camps, so developed the new Occam SL and LT. These rely on the same main frame, available in both alloy or carbon versions, but with different shock links, strokes and components. In this Dissected feature we’ll cover all the details of the new Occam and what sets the two models apart, and try to help you decide which model is the best for your needs. DISSECTED DISCLAIMER | As with all of our Dissected Features, this is not intended to be a long term review or endorsement of a product but is instead a chance for our viewers and readers to get a deep dive look into some of the newest tech and products in the mountain bike space. We thank Orbea for the opportunity to create this feature and offer a more in-depth look into the production and changes of the latest generation Occam SL and LT.

#emtb #srampowertrain #ebikereview We spent a day riding the brand new Nukeproof Megawatt Carbon, equipped with the SRAM Powertrain eMTB system. It did not disappoint! From the integration and descending prowess through to its solid motor performance and some very neat functionality offered by the SRAM eBike ecosystem, there's a lot to like about the new eMTB in the Nukeproof lineup. Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss a long term review in the coming months! Below is a small except from our written review, which you can find on here: https://theloamwolf.com/2023/10/02/first-ride-release-nukeproof-megawatt-carbon/ Overall, I thought the old Megawatt Alloy was a solid bike, but lacked a bit of je ne se quoi. The Megawatt Carbon offered up plenty of “quoi” immediately, feeling sharper and simply begging me to let off the brakes and attack. With the initial baseline setup giving these sensations, I’m extremely excited to welcome the Megawatt Carbon into my stable for a long term review. It’s giving me the same excitement that the Orbea Wild did when I got to preview it last year, and that bike ended up taking top honors in our eMTB Shootout… Get your Loam Wolf gear here: https://store.theloamwolf.com ------------------------------------ FOLLOW US Website: https://www.theloamwolf.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theloamwolf/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theloamwolf #mountainbiking #sram #sramrange #brose #nukeproof #nukeproofmegawatt Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 00:40 - Product Information 4:10 - Riding The Megawatt Carbon 6:46 - First Impressions Of SRAM Powertrain 10:33 - First Impressions Of Nukeproof Megawatt C
