GMBN Presents The Mountain Bike Podcast

Watch the show on our YouTube Channel: https://gmbn.eu/GlobalMountainBikeShow2Welcome back to The Global Mountain Bike Show this week we discuss how Specialized have just announced a price drop of up to 27% on their Levo platform, signaling a massive shift in the e-MTB landscape. We dive into whether this is a direct response to high-tech newcomers like Amflow and if we're entering a new era of "factory-to-consumer" value. Plus, we talk about the wild 32-inch "Mega Mullet" wheel setup to see if bigger really is faster, and discuss the science of getting fit while riding with a motor.⏱ Timestamps ⏱ 00:00 - The Big E-Bike Fitness Debate01:46 - Specialized Slashes Prices: 27% Off!05:18 - Direct-to-Consumer vs. Factory-Direct07:38 - Are Mountain Bikes Becoming Luxury Goods?11:51 - Benchmarking the New Tech15:09 - Poll: Is it the Rider or the Bike?17:53 - 32” MX23:05 - Is a 32-Inch Wheel Actually Faster?28:21 - Smart Training: Using E-Bikes for FitnessThe Global Mountain Bike Network (GMBN) is the world’s largest and fastest-growing online mountain bike channel and community – and your destination for the best mountain bike content in the world.GMBN is dedicated to inspiring and unlocking your riding potential.
