A large % of professional athletes incorporate eMTBs into their training, for similar reasons they would use road bikes: MTB trails often push you past zone 2 or even zone 3, which can be unproductive - according to a wealth of reasearch. eMTBs - just like riding roads on your road bike or gravel etc, allow you to put in miles without pushing your limits going uphill. The eMTB adds the option of doing repetitive DH runs on trails, which you wouldn't get on the milder road or gravel rides, and doing so "fresh-er".

Plus, you can really go all-out on a eMTB still, nothing stops you. Will probably stop you from super-peaking out for HIIT, but you can definately push your HR hard.

You can ride it as a cheater bike, you can ride it for fun/super casually, you can just ride it because you are seriously oveweight and would never make it up some hills w/o it. These people would never compete with a zippy carbon XC bike like the OP, so, comparison is moot.

Riding bikes is fun, it is healthier than not riding them, and this of course includes eMTBs, which are not a menace on the trails and are nowhere as dangerous for other users of trails like eMotos/Surrons are, who try to squeeze their way into trails - threatening access for all 2-wheelers lately.

It was $1799 last year and demo ones even cheaper. Some changes are around suspension and minor things. But we all understand why we are paying more this year.

Same in the Tour de France, teams that are sponsored by Specialized are offered their Specialized Creo eBikes during off days so they don't burn out but can still work on their team dynamics out on the road.

Anyhow, this is a good deal for a full suspension carbon bike. I just got a Specialized Chisel earlier this month after shopping around and having a hard time on the rough surface recently using my gravel bike where everyone else was using a mountain bike.

Watts ?
Depends on your fitness level. If you're not a pro, you'll probably be between 100 and 500 watts.

Does it affect the bike in any way?
No, not at all for a regular bike. An ebike with an expensive proprietary battery sitting in a potentially hot warehouse over multiple seasons would be different cause of concern though.

I love the xc I got from the previous sale. So much better than my aluminum hardtail. This is the newer version with rockshox suspension and the universal derailer hanger. I think it's worth $500 more.

Lol, no WorldTour rider is getting on an ebike. Their zone 1 is 240 watts or more, they have absolutely no need.

Folks for around the same price or less consider the Yamaha Moto e-mountain bike.
I've actually been looking into the Yamaha bikes. Good luck finding one. If you do it's tagged with a dealer mark up. Secondly, Yamaha announced they're shutting down production on them but claim to still offer warranty service, but that's up to the dealer to honor. So overall, if you can find one for a decent price, and are ok with an unknown warranty it's a good buy

I can't even sell mine locally for $1k. This is overpriced.

I got the Intense gravel bike from Costco 2 years ago when they had amazing deals on that and have been amazed at the quality for the price. Yeah the prices aren't as good as they were, but everything has gone up so there's not much to do about that. Still a good value if you need a bike.
