Deciding between Amflow PX & Mondraker Zendit - Help!
I have a few normal/analogue/meat-powered bikes but to be honest haven’t been riding them a lot over the past 18 months. I am keen to start again and make most of the summer so I would like to replace my e-bike.
I have a 2019 Vitus E-Sommet. I like the geo & suspension however I’m not fussed about the nest of cables, high seat tube & gate-like weight.
Of the current releases I have my eye on the similarly priced Amflow PX pro and the Mondraker Zendit RR S. I’d say 60% of my riding are at trail centres, 30% is longer mountain days (a mix of everything from very rough & steep to tarmac) and 10% enduro type trails.
The lighter weight and adjustability (would I really use it?) of the Amflow appeals to me.
I really like the look of the Zendit and reviews seem to mention it is a stable & confident descending bike; downhill, especially technical stuff, is a weakness of mine and an area I would like to improve. I’m less keen when reviews mention it has to be ridden full speed by confident riders, it’s heavy less-agile front end and can it really weigh the same as my aluminium Vitus from 7 years ago?
At 172cm and 68kg I would estimate I would be a medium in both bikes and would definitely want the much talked about (300W ish) range extender to fit on whichever bike I purchased.
I wonder would be so kind as to offer any insight or guidance? Either bike would represent a substantial investment for me.
Thank you.
