Today, Kelly´s have keynote and reveal new Theos F100. They was able make another level of this bike. Not much stuff from my country to be proud of, but this bikes definitely are. I am really glad, that we have something from our little country and people admire it from all over the world. :)

This super beast is from Slovakia! 💪🇸🇰🇪🇺

good to see the main battery running everything

Really does look sick 👌🏼. Will look forward to seeing a full review

Absolute top notch reporting on the state of advancement for the E-Bike world…. Thank you I am addicted to your channel, love your positivity and genuine demeanor.

Hi Rob! Thank you for your other amazing video! Today you made me even happier that it is a bike from my home country Slovakia. I look forward to testing it properly and sharing your impressions with us! Keep up the great work.👍

Fantastic looking bike and concept, order now and have it by spring 2025...

That is a work of art. Beautiful.

Great great congrats on kellys the idea of robots production and steel + carbon fibres I have in my head 4 years before .... so good luck !!!

If one battery has more energy then another one with almost same weight, it means it has tiny bit more lithium content - units of grams per cell. It also usually means it likely have shorter cycle life and can be more volatile. Nice bike from Slovakia, I wish I can get one in USA.

That studio and bike lighting is so good looking. All those lines on the ebike are so nice.

yeah baby.. Slovakia rullezz my home country :D I am looking forward for your full test and revue. Thanks

sick, I'm drooling. Can't wait for the full review.

Really looking forward to your review. Been waiting for this bike for a while.

Looks like a stunning bit of kit for sure! I own a 2021 Kellys Swag 50 and the spec you get on these bikes always seems to be very good.

when i heard about this and saw it i instantly fell in love with it. contours are spot on and has a sleek profile; it is indeed a gorgeous mean looking ebike.

Must be one of the most anticipated reviews for a long time.

If it performs as great as it looks, major WIN! Sick bike and a great review!

Looks like VPP. Outland back in the day, later years and now Santcruz. Lovely bike, love the geo and angles.

Hey Rob , another great video 👍 That bike looks so hot 🔥 I can't wait to see a review on this. Keep up the great work. Cheers

Test drive please! I've been waiting for this moment for a long time...

On paper this bike is ridiculously above the competition. Cant wait for full review

Thx Rob, really cool introduction of that bike. Loved the slow high quality shots of the linkage movement. Would love the get some of the frame material and put it under my microscope, doing some tensile testing, beding and stuff on my testing machine.

This bike was introduced to the market about a year and a half ago. And being introduced all over again... odd no one is doing any actual rides on one to let people know what they are actually like to ride, why is that 🤔

Excellent job describing the bike

We are still waiting Rob. I would love to see this beast in action.

That's the price for THAT build?!? Daaaayyum!!! Bike looks sick, kinematics look ON POINT, and is top spec'd. Nicely done!!!

Hey Rob Rides Emtb! Seems like the robot overlords aren't all bad if they make great ebikes! Ride ride ride!

Only difference with this is labor cost versus robot cost. Metal strings wont brake on impact but carbon will brake nonetheless.if its 50/50 for integrity it comes to how much are you willing to take. Realistically i expect metal giving strenght to frame being minimal. Carbon doesnt magically become more recyctable by adding metal into it.

Beautyful bike, congrats!

Seems like we are starting to see benefits in technology in regard to lighter and more powerful batteries. Looks like 725w is more of the norm then the exception. New frame material/manufacturing process sounds very intriguing!

This shredder machine which is your's, look's awesome fast and powerfull...When it is able too bring these attitudes on the trails, LOL it's a killa bike. Great idea of powering all, shifts and motor. Can't wait for the test-ride video...

Fantastic! look forward to this technology appearing in more bikes, now it’s only to get rid of the derailleur and get in a gearbox with belt drive :)

First - quick squint while changing before I head out on levo for a frosty Pennines trail bash

OMG it looks soooo good What I would like to know, is how the steep climb feels in this

That's really a beast bike!

U got some serious money, stunning top tube and design

best looking ebike by far

Super cool tech in this frame design and material. Wish it was available in the USA.

What an amazing motorcycle.

that thing looks insane :O

Interesting and very cool look

Kelly’s, take my money now 🤑💰💰💰

Well it took a decade but they're FINALLY making trail bikes with DJ crotch clearance

Seems like the perfect bike

Made in Slovakia. I remember my first Kellys - it was something else back then.

COOL! .. Would look trick with Öhlins suspension front and rear ;)

This is the one bike I have been desperate to see a review on. Really hoping it rides as good as it looks. Really does look aggressive, and so light for a fullfat! Waiting with baited breathe for the full review 👍🏼

@@derekharper6031 hi Derek well had the bike 3 weeks ,my last ebike was a canyon spectal 8.0 160mm suspension up front and 150 on the rear .was looking for a bike with similar Geometry just a bit more suspension. 😉 The kellys feels very similar. So was feeling right at home . The finish is top 👌 framework looks amazing and the bike is well designed. The roll on the bike is top .what a difference to the e8000 .the bike is so easy to pedal, don't feel no resistance . Feels really quick and nimble. Mate of me has the propain ekano in 29er . No 👎 to heavy not nimble. Kellys more suspension and much more nimble. The range feels is so much more than the old canyon it's only got 225wh more rides double as far though because it rolls so well I finding I'm turning the motor of on the flats 😅 . Not happening on the old canyon Hope I could help Big G

Bike looks sick 👌🏾.

Likely the RS shock was due to supply and the off the batt e-bike tune for v-pivot setup

Looks like a bike I would ride until the end of my days.

GT bikes used thermo-plastic bike frames in the 90's. I wonder if the bonding are component of the TP is the same,. How. Cool for this blend of a. Frame. Would. Be be cool to be able to choose motor preference and have frame build around it. It's. A. Neat looking bike!

Awesome!

Very good eMTB.....

Nice bike!

Well I love it, but can't wait to see your review. You always make your feelings known about the Shimano EP8.

Nice one! Technology...

Dang that’s a hot bike.

I really want this bike.

Sounds like the frame tech is pretty close to how Guerrilla Gravity builds their frames. If that’s the case it’s going to be awesome.

Kellys was small brand from Slovakia and slowly progressed in last 15 years. Don't know now but before was connected to German brand Genesis.

There's a lot right here. Like finally a seattube that can take any post. 22kg 720 watt battery ebike. Tried looking at their site but didn't find the cost of it.

I'm sure it will obviously hold .... but that top tube being so low would be on my mind. 😁

Rob, great vid and another first! Can you tell us a little more about those battery connectors at the top of the battery please? Does the arrangement look like it might address moisture (particularly condensation in a sudden cold snap) well?

Very interesting.

Haven’t watched the whole video yet but wowwww take my money

Rob if possible please compare ride quality versus the Santa Cruz bullit as they are very close in spec, travel, mullet setup etc.

Great review Rob as usual! Where is the Giant Reign E+ review though!?

The way it looks: I am really curious to touch and feel the frame material!!!

I've just visited Kellys website and surprised to see they are using Robs video (above) to promote their bike but what's odd is if you look for UK dealers, it says there isn't any!!

Wow sounds like a winner for bike material. I would love to get a bike with this material when im rich and famous (or not).

dream machine

Really really love the look and spec of this bike would love this company to bring finance out in the uk as it’s a lot of money the pull out in one go but in they did have a company in the uk that did I would 💯get one

noticed the Giant e-Revolt gravel Di2 is also fed from the main battery like that - I wonder if that'll be the standard in the future as e-shifting gets cheaper and more common for everything

@derekharper6031

2 жыл бұрын

There are a few bikes running di2 fed from the main battery. Look back at the merida e160 900e. I have a 2019 one with 11,000 kms on it and the di2 has never missed a beat.

That looks like how an EBIKE should, it ticks all the boxes, an EBIKE which shuttles you to the top with ease and lots of suspension to ride down and over anything giving the rider confidence, the question is - how much?

Hey Rob I'm very interested in this beast, can you do a 2nd video at 200km. I own the Kenevo sl 2022 and this new rear suspension system is the way of the future.

Guerilla Gravity frames are a similar material, they won't give exact details, but all the benefits are touted the same, they don't make an ebike yet though. Can this bike run cable shifting? the di2 cable routing when you cycled the suspension, would not work for a cable, but it looks like there might be another port for a standard setup?

Cracking first look video through Rob. Shame it's not a Bosch motor but the lower battery weight is a huge plus. Be interesting to know in your ride review if the linkage is fully compatible with Coil as well, or specifically tuned for Air like some?? I agree, odd choice of shock. I'd want to change that straight out of the gate personally

@@RobRidesEMTB I personally wouldn't. The smaller shock shaft has a better chance to sheer or bend. I am sure it will feel fine until you go OTB. Either way, don't run the plastic shock eyelet inserts, you need something with tighter tolerances with less chance of deforming.

I have one on order should be getting the call soon I've been waiting a year Hope that's not mine you have there rob 😂

Wow! I wonder if they’ll make handlebars out of that material?

Looks bloody lovely, Have they any plans for a conventional pedal powered bike ??

looks sweet

Thanks for the review, been waiting for that one for ages😅What do you think about the geometry? Is an L suitable for a height of 1.80cm (5.9 feet i think) (like Kellys says on their homepage) or would I be better of with the smaller version? Reach an Chainstain seem really large on the specs for an L?

@dantindley5181

E bikes tend to use older groups because they are far stronger. The millied out nature of the newer 12 speedsvwould just sheer off with an e bike motor. Its pretty common. Shimano has now made an ebike specific group based on the new system but its been put on steroids and kept on the old freehub system should you want a different and possibly stronger cassette

Looks like the water bottle will be on the top tube, I wonder how that will look and if it get in the way.

Looks amazing, what’s the total rider weight, I’m thinking it wud not be as high as other eMTB s

Could you make a video on costly bikes?

It needs to do away with an external rear derrailiur in favour of internal gears, which can't get plastered in mud or get knocked and have a standardised battery and motor and controls format to be the bike of the future.

I like the look, it’s light which is interesting too but I’d have to say the price point will be interesting. Also will you be testing the new Polini bikes soon as well?
