This 17kg superlight enduro is built on a sub-2kg 60Nm motor built for Forestal by Bafang.
I was lucky enough to ride this bike for 1 day in Androrra, but the first ride was very promising. Straight out of the gate it is fast, the bike has a great balance between stability and playfulness. The chainstay length is spot-on. It's a poppy bike, and easy to jump, too.
The 60Nm motor is really competitive compared to a full power ebike because the bike itself is lighter.
Overall this is a fantastic entry into the Superlight market. Forestal might be new but their first bikes are very promising.
