Dedicated Faster: Carbon-lugged, high-pivot eMTB with a tunable Virtual Pivot Headset

Dedicated Bikes’ FASTER freeride eMTB is a carbon-lugged, high-pivot platform built for downhill-worthy capability.

Pricing starts around €11,900 and can rise to about €16,000 for boutique builds, with production limited to roughly 25 bikes this year and emphasis on European manufacturing.

Propain Sresh SL Delivers Lightweight Mid-Power E‑MTB Mojo

Propain's Sresh SL is a 150mm-travel carbon eMTB that pairs a compact TQ HPR60 motor with a 360/520Wh battery (plus a 160Wh extender) for a lighter, more manageable mid-power ride. It supports 27.5 or 29‑inch wheels, offers broad customization, and trades some descending immediacy for a smooth, quiet climb and strong efficiency. In testing it weighed about 44 lb (20.1 kg), climbed well in High assist, and delivered solid range but displayed some wallowy rear suspension on steep trails. At $10,193 as tested (with cheaper custom builds possible), it sits between pure trail bikes and full-power eMTBs, offering a distinct value proposition versus rivals like the Levo SL.

Jessie-May's 2026 Forecast

Jessie-May predicts that in 2026, the first World Cup XC win on 32-inch wheels will likely go to Charlie Aldridge, with major brands developing this technology. The industry will also see widespread adoption of motor gearbox units in eMTBs, possibly with eCVT systems for beginners. Helmet safety will advance with the release of RLS helmets like Canyon’s, and Fox will not release a shorter travel version of the Podium fork, despite its excellent bump absorption. The article emphasizes that bike performance depends on many factors beyond just equipment.
