The eOne-Eighty impressed on Pete’s home trails

After our eOne-Eightye did not leave the best impression when Pete from Wideopen Mountain Bike swung a leg over it at the launch event in Spain at the end of last year, he focused his attention on our mid-support bike, the eOne-Sixty SL, and fell in love with it. You can read the review here.

We carried on talking to Pete over the following months to find out what perhaps the issue was, and after figuring out that it was very much a setup issue, he was keen to give the eOne-Eighty another go back on his home trails.

Saying that it was the opposite of his initial impression would be an understatement: Pete was impressed by the bike’s capability, saying that “the bike was planted when I wanted it to be and playful when I needed it to pop”.

His final verdict:
“It really is very capable even without the update to the Bosch motor, and the solid spec means there’s nothing left wanting when you’re sending it back down the hill. The speed will only rise from here.”
