Da ich ein fauler Hund bin kriegt ihr den Erfahrungsbericht aus einer anderen Gruppe strg+v:
Today was obviously just getting to know the bike, as I'm coming of an injury and covid and had a break for about six weeks. So I'm far from pushing its boundaries. I'm also coming of a 26" 2014 Specialized Enduro, so this is quite a big step and not an objective comparison. Also this is my first eMTB, so my impression is very subjective.
Sizewise I'm 176cm tall and chose a Medium Frame. This felt Spot-on. I consider myself a pretty decent mountain biker riding for over 25 years. Participating occasionally in national Enduro series I'm far off the competitive pace. But when I'm on it I can give my mates on the big bikes a run for their money.
Out-of-the-box this is a pretty balanced Bike. It did what I told him to and there were no surprises, except for buzzing my butt, due to the bigger rear wheel. It does everything very well. If I noted anything it would be that the front felt light at times, so while cornering I didn't feel so confident. But keep in mind the wheel size jump and the frozen ground condition.
About motor and battery I'd like to say, that contrary to other opinions in this group, I don't think it's overpowered. I've been doing a loop around 20 km and around 1,400 m vertical climbing and that was in eco and Trail mode mostly. I have never felt the need to have anything lower than eco. The assistace felt quite natural and I had no struggles even on technical climbing. Once you switch off the assistance there's also zero drag and you can pedal it like a push bike. I also did some climbs without the motor, which is totally doable while also not very pleasant considering the weight of 18.5 kilos.
At temperatures around freezing point I managed to squeeze out two hours and 40 minutes riding time and ended up with 0% which gladly was enough assistance left to help my cramping legs crawl up the last climb to my home.

To anyone out there considering buying the bike:
Be sure you need an 29er Enduro bike with 170 mm travel. If you're not regularly bombing down bikepark trails, or racing down chunder field EEWS-style courses, I think most people would be perfectly of with the 160mm Cyon. If you can get that bike to sub 17kg, it's going to be a Rocket!
Anway, this bike rocks
