Was looking for gravel bikes (both ebike and non-ebike) and found this one on sale for $1999 with 50% off MSRP after posting another Diamondback non-ebike gravel
Haanjo 5 [diamondback.com] (which is also a decent deal). Given its specs and compared with previous Yamaha Wabash RT frontpage deal ($1679), I think it's good to share it for people who look for this type of ebike.
For $300 more, what you get from Diamondback
- motor: Bosch Performance Line Speed w/ 85Nm Torque vs Yamaha PWSeries w/ 70Nm (~20% more powerful and Bosch motor is generally considered having better reputation)
- shifter/lever/derailleur: Shimano GRX RX810 vs RX600
(one level up from Yamaha's RX600 series)
- brake system: Shimano RX-810 vs RX600 and RX400 mixed on Yamaha
- tires: 50mm Maxxis Rambler vs 45mm on Yamaha
Rest of specs are basically the same:
- both have 1x11 speed, 11-42t
- weight is about the same (46lbs)
I do like the bike computer and control buttons on Diamondback, however that's a personal preference.
People reported Yamaha is pulling out North America market and not honoring the extra battery promo from previous sales. For whom on the fence trying to buy this type of ebike, give it a look.
