The final choice came down to the Whyte ELyte or the Santa Cruz Heckler SL but which came out on top?

    I don't usually write negative comments on KZread but this was ridiculous. No Levo SL, Fuel Exe, Lumen or Rise? This should have been labeled as paid promotion reviews for these 2 bikes instead of your title. I expected 4-6 of the lightweight E-Bikes going over their strengths and weaknesses. I realize you need to have paid promotions to create content and cover costs but some of these videos are getting very silly.

    I think that you missed one very important fact.... They test only new bikes, the bikes that are updated for 2024, they don't test the old models. The old bikes were tested in previous years.

    @@TeoSluga Fair enough and I appreciate the comment but the title of the video is "What Is The BEST Lightweight EMTB In 2024" and maybe should have been labeled to reflect new releases for 2024.

    So only 2 bikes? Seems either lazy or biased. There are 15+ popular SL E-bikes that could have been considered.

    Standard BR practice unfortunately. They see what couple of bikes they can get their hands on and the best one is “bike of the year” etc.

    Great so you have compared 2 bikes. One is top of the range, and the other is middle. Carbon wheels and factor suspension vs alloy and mid level suspension. Seams like a fair comparison 😂😂😂

    If you want a silent, lightweight Ebike that feels like a mountain bike, the Trek EXe is the best. Its build quality and system integration is second to none.

    @@Canyon_Shawn And this shop sells Mondraker, Canyon, Trek, Specialized, Transition, Orbea, Scott, Whyte, Santa Cruz and Pivot? So why, specifically, is the EXE better than the Mondraker Neat, Scott Lumen, BMC Fourstroke AMP and Whyte Lyte 140?

    I really think we shouldn't allow these companies to get away with calling them lightweight.
