Neil Donoghue is revisiting the UK’s oldest MTB trail, Coed Y Brenin, to ride the legendary Tarw (Black Bull) trail built in 1996 by Dafydd Davies. But here’s the twist, he’s tackling this old-school trail with the latest cutting-edge bike tech, the AMFLOW PL trail bike!

What do you think of the AMFLOW PL?
Would be nice to have a separate channel for those e mopeds…
is possible to read the tork of the cyclist and on right leg and left?
Jeez. Less EBike content on EMBN than on here now….
37 mins of riding and 64% battery left? This was the 800wh option bike as well. Yeah, sure going all turbo spamming, I guess with 1000wh it draws more power. Technically you could do so for an hour with a 1000wh battery. Just curious as to how much riding time you get if you spend time in the higher assist mode. Wasn't the turbo suppose to give 850wh of effect? So that would mean less than 1 hr on a 800wh battery? I just got an eMtb finally, Orbea Wild with 750wh battery. I'm a 240lb fatass, but still get around 30km going full boost, wonder what fuill assist on bosch cx4 puts out in terms of wattage. Its supposedly 85nm, which is lower compared to Amflows 105/120nm. Also wonder what assist mode you have to be in to get the sweet spot of assist and range for the Amflow bike.
What size bottle did you fit on the bike? Looks like it just fits.
There's nothing like touching your screen while you're riding. This bike isn't even available for sale and the bullshit is already getting spewed through the pay-to-play machine. Disgusting.
Sounds like some bikers here are still living in an analog world. A bike is a bike, whether it’s downhill, trail, or electric: you’re still pedaling like crazy and ripping it up on the trails! I’ve got an analog 27.5, an electric mullet, a lightweight e-bike for commuting, a gas dirt bike, and a couple street motorcycles. It’s all 2 wheels to me and all for different use cases. The more flexible your mindset is, the more fun you’ll have and he more you’ll be out their riding all year long!
Thanks Neil Do you have a Discount Code ?
Just hit 666 on the likes😢…amflow demon trail slayer, wow look how far we've come great info and great ride thanks Neil.
Does that shock hit the water bottle on every jump? Looks close to me
I always end my comments with E=mtb² …but maybe the amflow is E=mtb³. But a silent bike with goodbye derailleur would be better.
The riding music was very strange…🤔
nice Intend will like that you choice there music at the start
Stop with the kph/kilometers…we are in the uk..it's miles ffs 😂
Great bike though👍
Despite the bike being an E bike, it looked great on the trails and the scenery looked fantastic. A bike like that with a rider like Neil at the controls with trails like that, it would naturally result in a great video.
I have a thumbs up because I enjoy seeing new and different trails, but the E- bike infomercial content belongs on EMBN! 😠
Nice to see a bike review by a quality rider, so it has a motor don't most folk go with a motor if they can, having it endorsed by gmbn as a good enduro bike is what to hear
E-bikes again….😑
Can't beat Vivaldi ☺️
DJI must sure have a promo budget.
not a word about kinematics or have I missed it in this commercial?
Isn't 250W the maximum power output for pedal-assist eBikes here in the UK? This has 1000W, so doesn't that mean registration / licences etc are required to actually use it? I haven't heard this being mentioned in any of the *MBN videos thus far?
I've been riding Coed y Brenin more or less since it opened and I love it (long may it stay open – incidentally the original funding for the centre also came from EU regional funds). Sharing narrow single track with eBikes is annoying. I'm getting on a bit but still pedal myself around. I see guys 20-30 years younger than me on eBikes…why? I guess eBikes are OK if you have a note from your doctor explaining why you need one…
Doooo0om
CYB still rocks and the heavily armoured trail surface will outlast all of us. I might visit this week … on my hardtail o/!
love the video's but I think if it was in 4k it would really level them up
expensive ebike with cheap noisy rotors, wtf
Another video with Neil selling EMTB, sad he used to be one of my favourite presenters…I pass sorry!

Absolutely love Coed y Brenin, I remember it being built, being an older MTBer it holds a special place in my ❤ I hope it manages to survive the NRW challenges
